How We Can Help You

Dr. Tafler and his staff are committed to providing you with safe, gentle, non-invasive pain relief and symptom management solutions.

Medications treat pain by blocking the reception of nerve signals in the body, inhibiting pain sensations. However, they do nothing to address the root causes of pain. Osteopathic care takes a different approach by treating the underlying issues that contribute to pain. That approach enables more effective treatment that reduces pain while promoting faster natural healing for more long-lasting effects.

Dr. Tafler started working with me though acupuncture, back adjustments and immediately I saw the progress and my pain was less and less with every visit to the doctor.

I am so thankful to the doctor, and have been recommending Dr Tafler to all my friends and coworkers who have back problems and other pains.

Dr. Tafler took me in for a weekend to receive manipulation under anesthesia. Two weeks later I was able to walk without pain. I have been pain free since that moment until today, many years after initial treatment. Without his treatment I do not know if I would have been able to walk at all.

Two weeks ago I came to his office. He is a very nice and very pleasant man. I told him about a terrible pain in my back. He gave me two injections and I was able to walk a lot better. I felt myself at my twenties. When I went for the second treatment under anesthesia, I was running up the stairs at my church. All my friends got very happy for me. So, I believe, this man is a hero! If not him, I would not be able to walk!
