Types of People I Treat
The types of patients I treat are those in pain. That is 95% of the patients that venture into my office are in some sort of pain. Of the 95%, I would say 85% of those patients have back or neck complaints. The remainder fall within the extremity category of carpal tunnel syndrome or perhaps rotator cuff syndrome or trochanteric bursitis and a host of other conditions that affect the extremities.
5% of my patient base are patients that venture into the area that had already seen a chiropractor on a regular basis or existing patients that just want to be adjusted to work out stiff and tired joints. They come in on their own free will as we do not have any "mandatory" wellness or maintenance care programs. Some of those existing patients are chronic patients that come in every one to two months for a few adjustments just to feel loosened up or to workout stiffness and soreness.
I treat quite a few acute cases of back pain (sprain/strains) of patients that have sciatica, disc bulges or protrusions and even herniation. I also treat patients who have scoliosis, to help strengthen the weak muscles of the curve and maintain mobility in the spine, for as you and I know it is much harder to do when you are older and fully developed. It's to help restore motion and balance the muscles that become chronically tight or hypertonic. I also have quite a few cases of whiplash cases that are mostly work, motor vehicle or sports related.
A lot of the patients who venture into my office are those patients who are chronic and their symptoms are secondary to degenerative arthritis. Also, I treat patients with headaches. Not sinus headaches but rather tension and migrane headaches which are the most common. Most of these patients have some sort of positive response.
My main service I provide is manipulation of the spine and extremities utilizing traditional and non-force techniques. I also offer wellness services and talk with patients about diet, exercise, nutrition and fun sporting activities around central Oregon.
