Get Relief For Your
Herniated Disc
At Northern Edge Physical Therapy, we first address where the pain is originating from.
“I had sharp pain that would travel down my leg radiating from my lower back.”
Most people feel like they have tried everything to relieve a herniated disc but nothing provides long term relief.
At NEPT, we believe that pain is not the issue. Pain is a warning signal, like a stop sign.
Far too often, the medical field is quick to prescribe opiates or surgery and sends their patients out the door. This may control pain for a period of time, but it simply addresses the symptoms without addressing the severe functional limitations that caused the pain.
At Northern Edge Physical Therapy, we first address where the pain is originating from. Most often pain is not from where you feel it, but is related to muscles and movement in other parts of the body that are not functioning correctly. Once we have interpreted your pain signals, we can then proceed with treatment. A person with back pain most often receives a combination of dry needling and movement therapy.
Many patients, after only a couple visits, have reported a substantial lessening of pain and a return to normalcy.

– “The pain is hardly there anymore”
“After being told I had no choice but to have back surgery I went and saw Keith and his amazing group at Northern Edge in January. I am in awe of my results so far. My leg is no longer numb and dragging, I don’t have to sleep in a recliner and my ortho doc is no longer saying the words surgery. Outside the box therapy and continuing hard work has meant no pain medication and no surgery for me. I am still a work in progress but cannot say how much I love these guys!”

Meet Your Provider
Dr. Garrick Herr
Physical Therapist
PT, DPT, CMTPT
I have always been known as someone who genuinely cares for everyone I meet, and will go the extra mile to help people achieve their goals.
I have been a physical therapist in the MatSu valley since 2006 and have helped thousands of MatSu residents overcome their injury and get back to life. Whether it is recovering from surgery, suffering from migraines, low back pain, stroke, vertigo, ATV or sports injuries, I have worked with them all to help Alaskans to get back out there and enjoy what they love to do best.
I went to Graduate school at Loma Linda University whose motto is “To make man whole.” I believe that this is the key to healing, not just addressing one body part at a time, but rather restoring the whole YOU. Helping your body to heal from physical injury, gaining confidence that you can overcome this hurdle limiting your potential, and seeing you return to the things that define who you are is what I find the most rewarding. When we work together we can accomplish great things.
