In most cases, back pain will resolve on its own with treatment at home and over-the-counter medications.

Surgery is not usually recommended.

3 Leaf Wellness Centre is the inspiration of Katie Stamm, a Massage Therapist from Edmonton, AB. She began her career in Massage in 2006, treating clients with a wide range of conditions and treatment goals. Through her one-on-one work, she quickly learned that Massage went beyond just treating the physical body. It is about creating a safe space for people, where they feel appreciated, cared for and heard. Creating an atmosphere that promotes relaxation, using specific oils, heat, lighting and music. And providing a space that encourages an overall feeling of well-being and escape for the client. 3 Leaf was born out of a desire to take what she has learned from her own practice and expand it to a larger space, in order to be of greater service to more people. But this was just where it started. ​ 3 Leaf is only possible because of the hard work, dedication and heart that each member of our team brings. From the receptionist who greets you at the door, to the massage therapist who treats your aches and pains, it takes everyone showing up to make 3 Leaf what it is. We are grateful everyday for our 3 Leaf team and for the opportunity to serve our community and provide services for the BEST clients! ​ Contact info, office address, office phone number, office contact and informational video upon services for (3 Leaf Wellness Centre Edmonton) T5S 1L1, AB at HealthChoicesFirst.com
