Important — not everyone is a candidate

EmSculpt Neo works through electromagnetic energy and radiofrequency heating, so pacemakers, defibrillators, implanted electronic devices and metal in the treatment area rule some people out. Screening for that is the first thing we do — before you’ve paid anything. If you’re not a fit, we’ll tell you at the visit and point you toward something that is.

Our founder

Dr. Maria Sulindro,

FNTP, CNHP, ART

Owner & Critical Care Clinician

Cynthia founded her practice after her own health crisis. Told her only remaining options were surgery or more infusions, she stepped away from that path and rebuilt her body through nutrition and muscle response testing instead.

For more than [XX] years since, she has worked with people living with chronic pain and long-standing conditions — most of them told there was nothing left to try. Her approach hasn’t changed: look at the whole person, find what is actually driving the problem, and pair that with the best non-invasive technology available so the body can rebuild rather than just cope.

Chronic pain and long-standing conditions, where the underlying cause was never found

Whole-person care — nutrition, inflammation, movement, sleep and stress addressed together

Back pain does not stay in your back. It decides what you do at the weekend, how well you sleep, and how often you say yes to things. By the time most people call us, they have stopped noticing how much they have quietly given up.

Whatever started it — a disc, a joint, an irritated nerve root — the muscle around it has almost certainly been guarding for months. That guarding is a large part of why the pain keeps returning after each round of treatment ends.

We are not going to open your spine up. We are going to rebuild what is meant to be holding it steady.

The technology

What we actually do in our office?

Back pain does not stay in your back. It decides what you do at the weekend, how well you sleep, and how often you say yes to things. By the time most people call us, they have stopped noticing how much they have quietly given up.

Contracts the deep muscle far harder than voluntary exercise can

Builds muscle mass and strength around the spine, so the segment carrying the problem has more support

Aims at the reason the pain keeps coming back, not only the pain itself

Most care stops at calming the symptom. This is the other half — the muscle that has to hold the spine steady once the appointment is over.

How it unfolds

A multi-phase, non-surgical approach built around the causes of spinal dysfunction rather than the symptoms it produces. Nothing is prescribed before the assessment.

Phase 1

Repair

Settle it down first. Before anything is strengthened, the priority is calming the area that hurts — bringing down inflammation, releasing the muscle guarding that has built up around the painful segment, and giving the tissue the conditions it needs to heal. Non-invasive therapy only, and nothing begins before the assessment.

Phase 2

Restore

Once the acute pain has calmed, the work shifts to function — mobility, circulation and normal spinal movement, using targeted therapy rather than general exercise.

Phase 3

Rebuild

Strength and stability. Posture, movement patterns and the muscle that holds the spine steady, so the result outlasts the last appointment rather than ending with it.

A whole-body approach

Two halves of the same plan

Real recovery goes past the spine. One half addresses the structure. The other addresses everything that decides whether the pain comes back.

Spine & disc

Finding and treating the structural source of neck and back pain — alignment, disc pressure and nerve irritation.

Laser therapy

Neuromuscular rehabilitation

Imaging and history reviewed before anything is planned

Total spine wellness

Muscle imbalance, movement habits and the metabolic side of recovery — the factors behind re-injury.

EmSculpt Neo strength building

Functional movement therapy

Core stability and posture retraining

Supportive wellness strategies between visits

I’ve been coming to this clinic for my blood work and overall health care needs, and every experience has been excellent. The entire staff is extremely professional, patient, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and take the time to make you feel comfortable instead of rushing you in and out like a lot of places do nowadays. Dr. Maria is one of the biggest reasons I continue coming here. She is very knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. She truly listens extensively to any questions or concerns you have and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. I never feel dismissed or overlooked during appointments, which is something that’s honestly hard to find. You can tell she’s passionate about helping people improve their health and wellness the right way. The clinic itself is also incredibly clean, organized, and well maintained. Everything feels professional and thoughtfully put together, which adds a lot to the overall experience and comfort level as a patient. Another thing I really appreciate is that they carry high-quality supplements instead of just pushing random products. You can tell they care about quality and effectiveness. They also offer great services for aesthetics and anti-aging treatments, making this a really well-rounded clinic for both health and wellness. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a professional, clean, knowledgeable, and caring clinic with a great team behind it.
