Dr. Asmussen not only
had the privilege to train with Dr. Kirkaldy-Willis,
one of the pioneers known world-wide for his spinal
research, he has had first hand experience working
in emergency rooms where he cared for patients with
spinal problems. Many of the patients he saw could
have avoided a visit to the ER had they been treated
differently. As a doctor with Physicians Neck & Back
Clinics (PNBC), Dr. Asmussen is able to offer alternative
treatments to chronic neck and back pain sufferers.
In contrast with his experience as an ER doctor,
Dr. Asmussen is pleased with the short-term and long-term
results many of his patients achieve through the PNBC
approach.
