Conditions we treat, starting with the cause.
Pain is not always where the problem is. Before we reach for any therapy, Dr. Banman works out what is actually driving your symptoms, and the conditions below are how we think about finding that cause. Not everyone who comes in becomes a patient. If we can't help you, we will tell you, and point you to who can. Serving Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Sarasota, and Parrish.
Most clinics lead with the newest technology. We think that's backwards.
Technology doesn't heal people. The right diagnosis and the right plan do. We have a full set of therapies in this building, and not one of them helps you until we know what is actually wrong. So we start there, every time.
Our goal isn't to get everyone under care. It is to find the people we can genuinely help, and be honest with everyone else.
