Dr. T.J. Stickel, D.C., P.A.

I am a second generation doctor of chiropractic. My mother and father both were doctors, graduating from Logan College of Chiropractic in 1947. My brother graduated in 1949 and I followed in 1963, and have been in practice since then.
I am licensed and board certified to practice in Florida, Arkansas and Missouri.
Since graduating from Logan Chiropractic College, I have taken many post graduate studies and technique classes.
I am acupuncture certified in the state of Florida (please click on this section for additional information about acupuncture).
I hold certificates in orthopaedics and am a Certified Independent Chiropractic Examiner through A.D.E.R.I. (American Disability Evaluation Institute) from Ann Arbor, Michigan under the direction of E. Talmage Hiebert, M.D.
I am very nutritionally oriented and can assist you in nutritional counseling. My scope of practice is "holistic". I like to treat a
patient to achieve the maximum benefit, that will make a lasting improvement or correction, instead of temporary relief.
As a new patient enters my clinic, I will first take a detailed case history of the problem. Then I will make a thorough physical
examination (neurologic/orthopaedic exam), to get information as to how chronic the condition is.
Next, I will make spinal x-rays in the standing position for a postural study. I will then use my instruments and measure each bone
on the x-ray to determine how far it is "out of place" or "subluxated", I always demonstrate this to each patient. When the bones in
your spine are "subluxated" (out of place) they cause pressure on delicate nerves and not only produce pain and discomfort,
but also reduce the function of vital organs This can be the cause of chronic internal problems.
After the cause of your pain is determined, then a treatment plan is recommended with follow-up examinations to document
progress. Each case is different with some patients responding well in 5 or 6 visits, while others may require 20 or 30 and even
ongoing care.
lf you are in pain, or chronically ill, nothing has helped you so far, and you have never tried chiropractic or acupuncture, then let
me urge you to try these alternative forms of treatment. They are natural, holistic, scientific, they will not hurt you, and they help
the body to heal itself, which is the way God intended.
