I came to Dr. Helms at the beginning of September dealing with chronic pain in my neck, shoulders, arms and back. The dry needling has essentially melted the muscle pain and knots away, and the relief was noticeable early on. Dr. Helms also put together a thorough aftercare regimen for me to keep up with between visits, which has made a real difference in holding onto the results. My quality of life has improved significantly since starting. If you're dealing with chronic neck or shoulder pain, I'd absolutely recommend him!!

I woke up with sudden neck and shoulder pain and limited mobility. Dr. Helms performed a detailed evaluation and over the course of a couple sessions he was able to come up with a plan that got me pain free and returned to full mobility. He was professional and thorough and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to friends and family. Thank you.
Dr. Paul is the real deal. After working with him he fixed the tightness and pain in my traps and back that I'd been dealing with. He worked on my posture and did fascia release that actually changed how I move day to day. He explains what he's doing and is incredibly knowledgeable about the body. Highly recommend.
