Daniel
The doctors at Dorsal provided me with quick and efficient care. I got my resolution to my problem without leaving my home. Dorsal has definitely been a life saver!
Crystal
I was tired of having to beg my GP for muscle relaxers every time my back would flare up. I've been using Dorsal for 4 months and have been able to take my pain from a 9 down to a 2.
Mark
Dorsal was an amazing experience. The doctors they place you with are very knowledgeable and answer all questions thoroughly. For the price, you cannot beat it.
Chris
After 3 months and making a few adjustments to the medication, I can honestly say my pain is a third of what it was. I can walk and move around much more freely. It doesn't hurt to get dressed and tie my shoes. My quality of life has really increased.
Judy
Dr. Tu is awesome. He checks in with me, cares about how I'm doing, and answers all my questions. I'm very happy I found Dorsal. They really helped with my pain management.
Sherri
I lost my health insurance and couldn't afford to pay for a specialist out-of-pocket. I was unable to work. But thanks to this service, I'm now able to get back to my clients in home healthcare!

FAQ
What treatments are included in Dorsal's program?
Each person's pain is different so your initial video consultation will allow your doctor to formulate an accurate diagnosis and design a personalized care plan just for you. Our holistic approach combines evidence-based treatments including medication management, physical therapy, and health coaching.
Our pain management doctors can prescribe over 20 types of clinically proven medications:
- Muscle relaxers (cyclobenzaprine, tizanidine, methocarbamol, etc.)
- Nerve pain medications (gabapentin, topiramate, etc.)
- Oral anti-inflammatory drugs (meloxicam, celecoxib, etc.)
- Topical anti-inflammatory drugs (diclofenac gel, lidocaine patches, etc.)
- Corticosteroids (methylprednisolone, prednisone, etc.)
- SNRI and TCA medications (duloxetine, amitriptyline, etc.)
Our expert physical therapists and health coaches help you address the root causes of your condition and correct the underlying movement dysfunctions that prevent your pain cycle from being broken. The key pillars of the program include:
- Core strength and stability
- Directional exercise (McKenzie Method)
- Soft tissue mobilization
- Functional movement screening
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
