Meet the Doctor

   The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease...–-Thomas Edison

          The Wissahickon Spine Center was opened in the Summer of 2013 by Drs Tim and Laura Latham who have since passed the practice on to Dr Angela Mess. The mission of the WSC is to serve the community as providers of safe, science-based, and personalized care for conditions of the musculoskeletal system. The Wissahickon Spine Center utilizes a variety of non-surgical, drug-free solutions for the prevention and management of muscle and joint-related pain. Dr Angela integrates a dynamic blend of manual therapy, physical rehabilitation, clinical nutrition, and lifestyle medicine to help her patients achieve the best results in the least amount of time.
