    “

    Dr. A and the entire team are incredible! I had excruciating back pain that prevented me from sleeping, walking, or sitting without radiating pain. When I went in, Dr. A discovered I had 3 herniated discs. I did the disc program and it’s insane how it doesn’t even seem like I was ever injured. Everyone should come here! The staff is so kind and knowledgeable, too!

    Dr. Averett and his team are simply outstanding... I went to see Dr. Averett and within 5 minutes he correctly diagnosed and treated the issue. I walked out of the clinic being able to breathe freely that same day. Absolutely amazing. In addition to great results, his staff are both knowledgeable and personable, making for a great experience every time I have an appointment.

    “

    I had never heard of regenerative medicine before coming to Recover Spine & Sport. I had lost hope that my hip and knee injuries would ever get better, and I sought out Recover because I didn’t want surgery. Now my knees and hip are fixed, and I can hike and have fun again with my kids.
