Dr. Stewart has empathy for those in pain, partly due to his own experience. He suffered with back pain from the time he was 16 years old until his 30’s. He went from expert to expert (chiropractors, MD’s, Physical Therapists, Massage etc), traveling all over the country. He now uses what he has learned to help his patients, so that they can get the help that he spent so much time searching for. Due to his own chronic pain experience, it is his passion to spend the time to get to the bottom of problems that others have missed.
