His passion is finding solutions for patients that have failed all other low back pain treatments and are about to get low back surgery or have failed low back surgery. This is achieved by finding the patients specific pain triggers, removing them, and stabilizing the spine. For less severe cases, he performs traditional chiropractic techniques, such as flexion/traction, drop table, adjustments, and Active Release Techniques. Dr. Tiltmann also consults Bay Area businesses in ergonomics and low back pain prevention.
