OUR STORY
Hello… my name is Jesse Cannone and I am the owner and CEO of The Healthy Back Institute. I founded this company nearly 20 years ago, after my own struggles with pain and the discovery of just how broken our health and medical systems are. After figuring out how to “fix me” I decided to embark on a holistic journey into healing and pain management, and this is where I set out to change the way pain is thought about and treated.
Nearly two decades later, we have since helped millions of people all over the world to get quick, safe, and lasting pain relief naturally… and more importantly, we have helped these people to better understand how their bodies work and to dramatically improve their lives!
We help people through a holistic system of educational content and proven solutions and remedies, like far infrared heating pads and the highest quality nutritional supplements.
Everything that happens at the Healthy Back Institute is rooted in our core values:
Helping People, Trust, Service, Family, and Being Great!
These values are the foundation of serving our customers and how we treat each other.
In order to continue helping even more people, we need even more passionate, talented, and highly skilled marketers to join our team.
We are currently seeking a highly talented Director of Customer Marketing to join our team!
