Now our Denver chiropractic clinic has so many ‘tools’ and therapies available that we can reach for the right one or the right combinations and usually we have a better chance at helping people get the results they want. Having a lot of options also allows us to be able to acknowledge and adhere to patient preferences because we’re not tied to just one technique. The Proadjuster, for example, is a computerized instrument we use when someone doesn’t want manual manipulation. Proadjuster chiropractors use this as an adjusting instrument to replace manual chiropractic adjustments. Without it, I wouldn’t have a choice. I feel that options are important for people.
“Although it was a horrible thing to go through, there is no way I could be as empathetic or effective at taking care of people who have been injured in a car accident if it didn’t happen to me. But I knew deep inside that my body needed more than drugs to get better. Someone told me to ‘find a chiropractor.’ I did…and it changed my life.
I used chiropractic, physical therapy, massage therapy and acupuncture combined. I had a caring ‘team’ nurture me back to health, naturally . It took a long time. After my recovery I made a promise to myself to always cherish being alive. I also dropped what I was doing (beach bum in Maui) and committed into pursuing a career in natural health care so I could do the same for others, I became a chiropractor.
Prior to the addition of the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression machine, in our Lakewood, Littleton, Denver clinic we predominantly utilized conservative and specific chiropractic care, a back pain relief machine called the ATM2, lifestyle modifications (including case specific stretches and/or core stabilization exercises) and physical and manual therapy. Now, if I have someone with a bulging disc, a pinched nerve or, in some cases, even spinal stenosis, or herniated disc or bulging disc symptoms, I will at least entertain the idea of using decompression therapy.
