You can hear directly from Essentia’s team of specialists, who will be available to answer questions.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, our experts are here for you:

• Severe, persistent headaches.
• Dull, sharp or burning pain in the back or neck that can be isolated in one area or spread over a large area.
• Leg pain, numbness or tingling.

• Aches and stiffness in the center or lower part of the back, especially when sitting for extended periods of time.

These symptoms could be a sign of a fracture, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis or cervical and lumbar degenerative diseases.
