Shock wave therapy is the most effective method to relief tennis elbow, tendinitis, and pain from muscular overuse. Can’t recommend this method or Dr Ryan more!! Simply the best.

Dr. Ryan Bonnebaum is amazing! I had a great deal of pain in my neck and upper back from trauma. In two months, the pain was gone. I also have my daughter seeing him also for her back pain. I can’t give enough praise to him. Thank you Dr. Ryan!

I absolutely love going to Spine Body Collective for adjustments. Ryan is really kind and gentle. He listens to my concerns and makes me feel really comfortable. I highly recommend Spine Body Collective with Ryan for great care! He also provided me with exercises and stretches I can do at home to help reduce pain and mobility which I am loving.

Ryan is so much more than just a chiropractor. I’ve been doing shock therapy for my plantar fasciitis and see great results!

Ryan is very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve been a bit afraid of chiropractors but Ryan makes me feel comfortable. My body feels so much better after just 3 visits.
