With pain and degeneration in my shoulder I am trying a variety of interventions - cortisone shot , physical therapy, pain pills , and Softwave to name a few - I believe all add some benefit but the Softwave is the most effective for increased range of motion and decreased pain . A godsend ! Thank you Dr Mertz and Tara
James Shaver
When I went to my first appointment at Nu Longevity I could barely walk. Through treatment I have become more flexible and able to move with more ease and stand longer.

This is the first time I have ever received relief from my chronic back pain. After the first treatment I slept 7 2/2 hours for the first time in years. Dr. Steve is the greatest. I highly recommend them for your better health.
