Dr. Peter Martone is an educator, injury prevention specialist and patient care health practitioner who has been focused on improving patients’ biomechanics for over 24 years. During his private practice as a chiropractor, Dr Martone always believed that the structure of your spine effects the function of the central nervous system and this interference is at the root cause of most of the chronic problems people face. Dr. Martone now uses this principle as the cornerstone to help people Get W.A.Y. Better Sleep. His techniques have been featured on CBS, NBC, & Fox News.
