Chiropractic CarePhilosophers and scientists both agree – 10% of your life is controlled by what happens to you and 90% controlled by how you or your body respond to the stress in your circle of influence. In that the human body is the highest and best creation on the planet, and your nervous system is the most highly specialized and sensitive system in your body, you have the innate ability to respond to life’s stress’ in an effective way ONLY IF your control system, the nervous system circuits are healthy. The most common location of nervous system “short circuits” are the spinal vertebrae that’s designed to be “shock absorbers” while they transmit and protect the body’s power supply! The mechanical/electrical “short circuits” in the spine are called “subluxations”. The subluxation driven short circuit can cause pain and weakness, as well as compromise the effectiveness of every organ, system, and tissue cell in the body. Compromising organ, tissue, and cell integrity can be a major precursor to metabolic chaos that, if not effectively corrected, can and will present itself as a degenerative disease. While chiropractic care excels in the care of neuro – musculoskeletal problems is can be an effective plus as “Complimentary Medicine” for patients who need their body’s natural healing response to assist their medical doctor and medications. The chiropractic adjustment (some say “manipulation”) is the “hands on” technique for correcting spinal subluxations and restoring vital order and strength within that promotes pain relief, restoration and healing! With 45 years of experience, I have discovered that some patients require regular or manual adjustments while others thrive with the low impact instrument treatments. While all are grateful for modern medicine, we understand that a MAJOR cause of premature deaths and hospitalization are serious side effects to script and over the counter medications. Chiropractic Care goes a long way to help patients optimize their strength and over all well being while minimizing dependency on drugs and surgery! William Spain, M.S., D.C. Laser TherapyCutting Edge Brand Laser Therapy uses two specific wavelengths of light to treat both inflammation and pain. Light energy enters the damage cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity. Laser Therapy is a painless treatment that usually last 10-15 minutes. Patients may experience a comfortable sensation at the point of application. Most patients experience positive results in the 1-3 treatments. Our Cutting Edge Laser is much more powerful than the smaller hand held diode units. Commonly treated areas include:
Ion Detoxification Foot BathThe Ion Detoxification Foot Bath is a non-invasive, pleasant way for most people to cleanse the body. A computer runs varying amounts of positive and negative current through a container of water. While you are relaxing with your feet in the water for 15-30 minutes you can watch the water change colors due to the toxins being release through the 2000 pores on the bottoms of your feet. The color of your water will vary from treatment to treatment depending on what toxins are present in your body, and where the toxins are releasing from. The colors to look for are:
X-ray ServicesWe have a high frequency x-ray unit that takes a quality radiograph with a fraction of the energy required by the previous technology. Even with this safety factor, we always intentionally take only the number of film required for quality care and good results. Soft Tissue TherapyOur licensed massage therapists are effective with Trigger Point and Myofascia Release Therapy, Swedish (soothing, relaxation) Massage, and firm, deep Sports Massage. Trigger Point and Myofascia therapy are very synergistic with chiropractic care. The effective “breaking up” of imbalance or injury sustained “pain and muscle spasm reflexes” with soft tissue therapy, in concert with judicious chiropractic care, will frequently expedite pain and healing by leaps and bounds. Interferential CurrentThe modern IFC unit sends two radio frequencies that are pre – tuned to human nerve and muscle pain frequencies into the painful and weak soft tissue to reduce pain, weakness, and inflammation. We frequently will use cryo therapy (ice) or moist heat simultaneously with interferential current. Cryo and Moist Heat TherapyIce or cold treatment is effective for pain and inflammation control. Moist heat can promote blood flow while reducing stiffness and spasm. UltrasoundOur new ultrasound unit sends low frequency radio energy into the injured area to reduce pain and promote joint mobility. Intersegmental TractionOur “spinalator” IT unit has three rollers designed to effectively massage and stretch the para-spinal muscles on the left and right side of the spine. It is frequently used before and after the chiropractic adjustment and is the relaxation, stretching treatment of choice before Spinal Decompression Therapy. Cold Laser TherapyThe cold laser is most effective for acute pain and spasm relief. Spinal DecompressionOriginally designed to give patients with “slipped” or herniated discs an effective, non-surgical treatment and prevent surgery, we choose to use Spinal Decompression for these two and many other low back conditions. SD combined with Regenerative Medicine (Clinical Nutrition) and Exercise is an intelligent, effective approach for many patients who want to prevent surgery and be as strong as possible. Many patients who have sustained spinal surgery and do not improve or relapse in a year or two see benefits with this conservative, natural approach! Regenerative MedicineI have been studying and advocating Clinical Nutrition or Regenerative Medicine recommendations to assist patients with acute and chronic conditions from 1962 to present. Again, I repeat, it’s truly remarkable what the human body can do when boosted by judicious chiropractic care, clinical nutrition, exercise, and a grateful spirit. We make recommendations based on your lab results, history, symptoms, and exam findings! Some of our favorite products are made by Standard Process, Biotics, Kroger Herbs, Heel (homeopathics), Nature’s Plus, Solgar, Flora (Udo’s Choice), Symbiotics, and Complete Life. Therapeutic ExerciseTruly, the vast majority of musculo – skeletal or spinal problems are aggravated or precipitated by spinal muscle weakness or imbalance as well as by the vertebral subluxation. Spinal exercise and muscle/nerve re-education is vital for good outcomes and results that last! The new Spine Force computerized exercise machine was designed and assembled in Europe. Today it is the state of the art, recognized leader concerning core muscle balancing and neurological re-education!
Our patients are given specific prescriptions for the Spine Force that will
hasten their recovery and spinal stability. |
