At CTPO we also take special interest in the treatment of adolescent back pain using the McKenzie Method of Diagnosis and Treatment. Like the general sports programs, the McKenzie Method emphasizes self treatment of back pain and prevention of future problems. The McKenzie Method is recognized world wide as one of the most effective treatments for back pain. We have had overwhelming success applying this method of diagnosis and treatment to young people and at last count, the average number of office visits for back pain was about four per patient.
