Thanks for visiting the website. I hope you can get some of the answers here that your looking for. Feel free to ask questions, I'll try to help get you answers. I am not here to try to diagnose problems over the internet though that could place your health at risk if you had a serious problem that went untreated because you didn't have a proper examination. I am continuously working to include more information here for you. So check back every so often and I will try to make it worth your while.
If you find the site informative, please recommend it to your friends and become a fan on Facebook. I update and post interesting articles there frequently. It is at www.facebook.com/AmazingAcupuncture
I do not post health articles on my personal facebook page.
Chandler is a great little community just outside Tyler Texas. If you find yourself here at the website, like so mane people do, but you are to far away to come in for treatment, please feel free to e-mail and if I know someone near you I'll let you know.
It is my mission to help you, the people here in East Texas and Tyler to get the relief you need naturally, without drugs, without surgery, and then to help you rehabilitate your problem area to prevent future injuries and pain. When that isn't possible I will do everything I can to help you with Acupuncture or other very successful, very safe chronic pain management techniques.
We accomplish these things together by first determining what is most likely to help YOU. We all work very hard to provide you with individualized care, as well as an individualized treatment plan to restore you to complete health. I hate it but I do know that some of you reading this don't really want that and prefer just to get a few treatments to get over the pain and not worry about the long term so much. We are here to help you reach your goals so that is your choice.
Patients (this means you) often don't realize that in most cases your "problem" was there (to some degree) long before you felt the symptoms so it seems reasonable that much of the problem will still exist even after the pain recedes. Some patients come looking for a complete solution, we provide that for you. Others just want a couple of adjustments to ease the pain and don't really acknowledge that the underlying problems are not addressed with that sort of "symptom relief" based care. I understand that and while some treatments take longer than others we will do our best to stay on schedule and minimize your time spent here so you can get back to all the other things you have to do each day.
I use several different Chiropractic techniques that range from the very gently Instrument adjustment & Thompson Drop Table adjustment, to the more common "Diversified" type adjustment (the one that makes things "pop") I also have great success using Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression for low back pain from many sources including bulged or herniated discs, degenerating discs many causing sciatica, most are relieved by our combination of treatments. Similarly Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression can relieve neck pain, pain going down the arm or into the shoulder as well as headaches that often occur due to neck problems. Are you aware that up to 80% of headaches including migraines are actually from the neck (cervicogenic type) according to one large study.
In addition to being specialists in nerves, muscles and joints Chiropractors get a amount of training in Nutrition. I have trained after that for many hours in post graduate seminars with the Standard Process company. Standard Process has researched nutrition since the 1920's and has a very specific questionairre that they have developed over the years. If you will download and complete it here: Symptom Survey Form then bring it with you on your visit, I will do my best to help you in this most important area of your health.
Often patients come in with problems that are past where Chiropractic is a good first choice. For many our Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is what gets them back on their feet and enjoying life again. Very often this treatment program will get you better when you thought there would be no option but surgery. Bulged or Herniated Discs typically respond within a couple of weeks and Facet Syndrome and Degenerative Discs begin to respond even faster than that. This is a "Miracle" treatment for many of our patients.
Before I get into Acupuncture lets talk about "Body Work". By "Body Work" I refer generally to several ways of treating the muscles, joints and other "soft" tissues of the body by hand or with "tools" to correct a problem that is causing you pain, numbness, tingling, etc. This could include Massage provided by a Licensed Massage Therapist. Buy here we take "Body Work" to a whole new level by offering Active Myofascial Release Therapy and Graston Therapy. Active Myofascial Release (AMR Therapy) involves actually breaking down a tissue called "Fascia". Fascia both gives muscle its tensile strength and causes pain as it can become restricted in time. A good example is in the forearm, over the years I have treated many many people who thought they had carpal tunnel syndrome and that surgery was the only answer. In cases where the "Pronator Teres" muscle was involved as the primary restriction I have sometimes seen the numbness / swollen feeling / tingling all go away after the first treatment. Usually it takes 4-6 treatments to really get the restriction broken down where it will stay gone but then it is GONE. Then I would show you home stretches so you can keep it gone. There are dozens of other examples I will go into on the "Body Work" page. Another type of Myofascial Release is called Graston Therapy. Graston was developed by a Physical Therapist named, you guessed it Graston. He developed special tools to treat the different areas of the body and in some cases this is the best treatment for the Myofascial Restrictions that are causing your problems.
If all this wasn't enough... we also offer several types of treatment for Postural problems. You see there is usually some types of postural problems involved with the reason you might first come into our clinic and we understand that all of our patients are not always committed to really going all the way to reverse the things that got them into the shape they (they refers to YOU - ha ha) are in now. For those of you who are committed to that goal, we are committed with you. We have a program of in office and home posture exercises and stretches that will, in time, restore the curve in your neck like it was intended to be. In some cases single direction scoliosis or "C" shaped curves can be reduced with our posture based rehab programs.
Additionally we utilize Acupuncture several different ways to relieve Low Back Pain, Neck Pain, Headache, Neuropathy (including phantom limb pain), fibromyalgia pain and many other pain oriented conditions.
We have 2 highly specialized, state of the art "needle-free" electro-acupuncture devices that can treat the necessary points with no needles at all if you have that preference (we know some of you REALLY don't like needles) and it can actually take less time than the needle treatments do.
Finally, I also want you to know that we have one of the most effective Spinal Decompression Systems (from the initial pain relief treatments all the way to the final stages of spinal rehabilitation and printed home exercises) available anywhere, right here in our office in Chandler, again at the lowest cost anywhere!
To the left there are links to other pages that should give you the information you need to help you decide if I seem like the doctor that you would like to help you overcome your current condition.
Overall we utilize some of the most effective techniques and procedures available anywhere else, right here in Chandler, Texas. And all without drugs, all non-surgical and all at extremely reasonable prices. As a Chiropractor I see my share of people with painful back and neck conditions as well as headaches. It hurts me to know that many of you have come to accept these conditions as "normal" for you just because your medical doctor couldn't cure you with a pill or a scalpel. People have been conditioned to feel this way by industries that spend billions of dollars each year to brainwash you to keep thinking that. Don't misunderstand me to be against "medicine", not so! What I am is "cautious". So give natural medicine a chance to help you and your family.
Thank you for visiting, I appreciate you considering our facility to assist you in achieving your healthcare goals. I'll do everything I can to help you, I'll never give up on you and I'll never let money stand in the way of you getting the care you need.
