“I have been battling chronic pain for a little over three years now due to an auto accident. I was not getting the help I needed from any other pain doctors so I decided to give Dr. Pico a try and let me tell you he has changed my life the short time I have been going. He has helped me tremendously, I am forever thankful for him and his wonderful staff.”

“I had a couple torn disks and herniated disks causing extreme pain. I followed Dr. Pico’s treatment plan diligently, which included physical therapy and daily exercise routine. 12 months later, I was off pain medications and able to resume 80% of my normal activities. What a huge difference!”
