Unfortunately, most of us are not taught exactly what that means and how we can achieve it to obtain a better quality of life.  Dr. Evanter spends endless hours educating each and every patient on health and the body in order to equip society with the background and tools necessary to maximize health potential.Pain and symptoms are what bring most people to see Dr Evanter, however, these symptoms are warning signals sent to the brain from the tissue and cell levels. These signals alert the brain that there has been damage. Most commonly, general pain is the primary symptom, yet, symptoms such as burning, tingling, and numbness can also occur. Dr Evanter's focus does not lie solely in treating the symptoms, but correcting the cause of the tissue breakdown or symptom. This allows a more productive life with fewer health drawbacks.
