Hershal is skilled in treating acute and chronic pain of the low back, mid back, and neck. Drawing from his own sports injuries, he also has extensive experience treating lower leg conditions involving the knee, ankle, and foot. Hershal utilizes IMS, acupuncture, manual therapy and exercise to restore joint mobility, tissue health and ensure proper movement to prevent re-injury. Hershal has a keen interest in sports injuries, specifically in basketball, baseball, martial arts and combat sports.
