“I'm 38, I was supposed to be in my prime. But I couldn't even play with my kids without my back seizing up. Three years of this. Massage helped for two days. Physiotherapy helped for a week. Then back to pain.
What Symmetry did differently: they didn't just treat my back. They scanned my whole body in motion. It turned out my right leg was functionally 8mm shorter due to hip rotation. Every step I took for years was torquing my lumbar spine.
Once that imbalance was corrected, the pain finally made sense — and it finally stopped. I got my movement back, my confidence back, and my life back.”

"I'm 44. My surgeon said my spine looked like a 65-year-old's. Bone spurs, herniation, the works. Surgery was scheduled. I found Symmetry through a friend's recommendation—figured I'd try anything before they fused my vertebrae.
12 sessions. That's what it took. They showed my pelvis was rotated 9mm. Nine millimeters doesn't sound like much, but Dr. Pavlenko showed me how that was crushing my L4-L5 for years.
I cancelled the surgery 3 years ago. I do CrossFit now. My follow-up MRI last month? The herniation is still there technically, but it doesn't touch the nerve anymore because my spine is aligned. My body fixed itself when we gave it the right structure.
I'm planning my next 40 years of movement, not my next surgery."

"I'm a back pain doctor myself—orthopedic background. I'd had migraines since my early 30s. Saw every specialist. The medications worked for a while, then didn't. I was having 15-20 migraine days per month. Couldn't function.
What made me try Symmetry? Honestly, desperation and curiosity. When they showed me my DIERS scan, I was shocked. My pelvis was tilted 11mm. I teach spine biomechanics—I should have known. That tilt was creating massive pressure on my cervical spine, triggering the migraines.
8 weeks of treatment. It's been 2 years. I get maybe one headache every 2-3 months now, and it's mild. I can think clearly. I can work 12-hour days if needed. My neck doesn't feel like a steel rod anymore.
I refer my own patients here now. That's how convinced I am."
