Most patients significantly or completely resolve their pain in 5 visits or less — many continue on with Retrieve for mobility, strength, or prevention because they want to keep reversing age-related and work-related losses.

Who We Help

busy professionals with low back or neck pain

You've been to PT, a chiropractor, massage. All after waiting months just to see your Primary or Orthopedic. 6 different providers. 7 different solutions. You're doing 3-4 different things for temporary relief at best.

Meanwhile, your patience wears thin — at work, with your spouse, with your kids. Nothing's resolved it. You're still stuck. And your pain is draining your ability to show up — at work, at home, with your friends.

Here's the truth: There is a way out. At Retrieve, we uncover and extinguish the source of the issue. We get people out of never-ending temporary changes, with more simple solutions, that actually last.

it's not age.

Anthony V. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I found Retrieve searching the web in the middle of the night for anything that would help with the debilitating pain in my back. I spent thousands between the podiatrist, Spine Doctor, and chiropractor — temporary success only to return to the same problem. I went from not being able to bend over or walk straight to doing squats and deadlifts in just 5 weeks. I'm turning 55 and thought pain and stiffness was just normal at this age. This is the lie we are told."

empowerment. never rushed.

Vincent V. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I've spent years fighting stubborn injuries — all sorts of methods, all temporary relief. Rinse and repeat. Working with Dr. Fose, we unpacked the true root causes. The results have been perpetual correction — no longer treating a symptom for temporary relief. The real magic has been a deeper understanding of cause and the empowerment to self-treat."

Jason J. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I've been seeing Stephen for degenerative disc disease in my neck and lower back. He's extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. Stephen takes the time to understand what I'm feeling each session and adjusts accordingly — never rushing. I've made meaningful progress that I didn't think was possible a few months ago."
