Your Shoulder Pain Is Stealing Your Independence

You've been to multiple health practitioners without relief. Long lines in waiting rooms for 15 minutes or less with a doctor who only treats symptoms.
You're frustrated, in chronic pain, and thinking surgery might be your only option. You deserve better than pain management—you deserve to conquer it.

Traditional treatments have failed you

You've tried multiple doctors, cortisone shots, and generic exercises, but your shoulder pain keeps coming back stronger than before.

You're losing strength and mobility daily

Simple tasks like reaching overhead, lifting, or even sleeping through the night have become painful struggles you dread.

Surgery feels like your only option

You're tired of being told you need invasive procedures when deep down you know there has to be a better way to heal.

Clayton has helped me more than I ever imagined with a pinched nerve in my neck and shoulder. The pain was unbearable for half of my life. I wasn't able to fully live and enjoy the things I loved to do. After just the first session I had more relief than I have ever had in all the years of doctor visits and hospital visits. I am back to do everything I was able to when I was a kid. Truly works wonders.

Maverick Manual Therapy is exactly what I needed, from my hip/back to shoulder/elbow. The issue is quickly identified and the work begins. I feel so much better every time I leave their office. Highly recommend!

I've worked with Clayton for a couple different issues. I had developed a few imbalances through years of lifting and being active. Clayton's approach to therapy was completely different than other PT I have tried. The whole session is one on one care which I never received at pt clinics I went to as they have multiple patients in at once. My pain is completely gone and I am so much stronger and know how to use my body more efficiently
