Jeffrey A. Lutz

 

Jeffrey A Lutz - CMTPT Practices in Greensburg, PA Practices in Pleasant Hills, PA
Board Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist

The Pain Treatment & Wellness Center was founded in December 2001 in Greensburg, PA by Jeff Lutz, CMTPT to aid those suffering from pain.

Since then, the practice has grown to what it is today - a moderately sized myotherapy/massage clinic which thrives on physician and word-of-mouth referrals.

 

Because Jeff has suffered illness that was not easily diagnosed by the medical community, he understands the frustrations endured by chronic pain patients. Compassionate and caring pain relief is what this practice was founded on and is promised to all patients/clients.
