Such chronic pain provides the kind of insight and empathy that books, alone, cannot.Dr. Castanet is certified in physiotherapy, functional capacity evaluations, Medx spinal rehabilitation, whiplash and brain traumatology, active release techniques, spinal decompression, ATM-2, MRI interpretation, spinal biomechanics, functional medicine, Colossus software and has conducted more than 1,000 nerve conduction studies and performed more than 100 FCE’s.
