Look For The Blue and White Sign BLUEWATER CHIROPRACTIC ACUPUNCTURE Dr. T.J. Stickel
Here is one of two identical spinal adjusting rooms with state-of-the-art Zenith 220 adjusting tables. These tables were special ordered with "drop pelvic" and "drop cervical" units so that spinal adjusting can be performed utilizing major techniques to include:
Thompson Technique
Logan Technique
Diversified Technique
Gronstead Technique
This adjusting table has special features to assist treatment of whiplash or injuries to the neck region and can also accommodate expecting women throughout their pregnancy.
Seen here is an adjusting table that was specifically designed to treat slipped or ruptured discs in the low back utilizing the Cox-McMannis adjusting technique (or closed reduction therapy).
First seen here (foreground right) is a Hill Amatomotor therapy table. It will perform long axis traction specific to the low back or neck and is very effective for helping spinal injuries to these areas. Auto crashes can cause the neck to be jammed into a "reverse curve", causing increased pressure to its nerves and spinal cord. This instrument along with specific spinal adjusting can help to restore and heal these areas.
The two instruments in the background are called "intersegmental traction tables". They are also very effective in helping spinal injuries and re-aligning bones in the spine which are out of place and cause pinching on nerves. These tables also exercise and strengthen the discs of the back, increasing flexibility.
At these two stations we can perform accupuncture, Shiatsu, interferential current and heat to reduce pain and relax muscle spasming.
In this area, we train our patients in rehab exercises specific to their needs. We use the Synergy system of rehabilitation for soft tissue injuries resulting from car crashes. At the proper time during a patient's care, he/she must exercise the injured muscle in order to obtain the best results.
Thanks for letting me show you around. Our facility is well equipped to care for all types of back and neck conditions whether from a traumatic injury such as an auto crash, Worker's Comp injury, or from a chronic cause. If you would like more information about our office or if you would like to personally talk with me about a specific need, please call and our staff will schedule for an initial consultation at no charge.
