SPINAL CORRECTION - In 2005 Dr. Shan was searching for a spinal corrective model to complete his system for patient care when he was invited to attend an Elite Coaching seminar. When he heard Dr. Fred speak about Pettibon, a spinal corrective system that revolves around the neurological components of the body, he set his pursuits in that direction. He joined Elite as a lifetime member and attended the Pettibon Institute. After researching and learning about Pettibon he successfully integrated the Pettibon Technique into his practice. From that point forward he has been successfully delivering unprecedented long term results to his patients. Common problems that have be corrected through this system are: scoliosis, short leg syndrome, head forward syndrome, postural distortions (high/low ear, shoulder, hip), Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ), bulging discs, herniated discs and that just starts the list.
