Spinal Adjustments (by Dr. Frank Verri) While not a substitute for traditional diabetes treatment, Dr. Frank Verri may utilize specific chiropractic adjustments to potentially improve nerve function and overall well-being. This should always be discussed and cleared with Dr. Verri during a consultation.
