SPINAL REHAB and WELLNESS CENTER

WAITING ROOM

    Upon entering our office you will be imediately greeted by our smiling receptionist, Jane.  We have no locked doors or opaque windows to hide behind because we have nothing to hide.  We want to greet you. We want to help you.  The next thing you may notice is the relaxing atmosphere created by the trickling waterfall, aroma therapy and "Zen" type music.  Many of our patients find this relaxing  atmosphere so de-stressing they consider our office a save refuge.  Lastly, we have a very small waiting room because we do not keep you waiting.  Its as simple as that!

In addition our receptionist and insurance office is "armed" with 2 computor data bases, fax, copier, scanner, and all forms to MAXIMIZE your insurance benefits so that you pay the least amount possible out of your own pocket.  Jane is very helpful at scheduling appointments around your busy life.  Just tell her what times are most comvient for you.

The lastest state-of-the-art computer tedhnology and low-radiation x-rays combined with traditional chiropractic hands on testing we have increased diagnostic accuracy.  The old-timers like my Granddad didn't have x-rays and my Dad didn't have computers.  But what they did have was skills, talents and intuition which was passed down to me.                                                        

Here we have several, models, x-ray biew boxesand charts to thoroughly explaon the exant cause of your condition.  Once we have determined the cause we then discuss the most practicle treatments available to effectively take care of your condition.  We encourage you to ask wuestions so you undestand which course of action best fits you.

Treatments are simple but very efficient.  We offer several types of spinal re-alignment from the very gentle preffered by females, elder and infants to the physically agressive preffered by men, athletesand larger individuals.  Don't be affraid to tell us, especial if you have been to chiropractors before.

At ADVANCED we offer so much. To help simple sprain and strains, to arthritis, to the very complex like herniate discs.  Usually we are able to help patients avoid spinal surgery.  Our physical therapy room features 4 interferential (computerized electric stim) machines to stimulate nerves to wake up and grow back, 4 of the ever-popular intersegmental traction (patients love these "roller tables") which are great to loosen up arthritis joints and heals discs, ultrasound helps with my difficult cases by giving a micro-massage to relax muscles and sooths irritated nerves, deep-heat diathermy increases circulation, chi-gong of course is from China, and now we have added decompression which is advanced computerized technology combined with traditional traction.  You may have seen it on TV.  It works amazingly well!  I wish I could use it on all patients over age 50 because it truely does such a fantastic job of reversing the harmfull effects of gravity like discs growing back and arthritis reduced.  Check out our other website www.spinaldecompressionofwestlake.com .  So you see, its just a matter of picking which is right for your condition.

REHAB CENTER

       The REHAB CENTER is equiped with a full range of equipement from the very sophisticated computerized core exerciser and vibration platform, to the cardio, to weights and balance board, to simple portable theraband elastic resistance bands, exercise ball and wrist/hand strenthening bars.  The point is, for total fitness you need a complete workout.  If you try to learn it all at once it can be over-whelming and folks get discouraged and usually quit.  So I personally work 1 on 1 with my patients.  There is no therapist or assistant.  I start slowly with stretching, balance and posture.  Then I add resistance training using weights and elastic bands.  After that I advance you to the core exerciser and cardio techniques (like swimming, cycling, running).  The "bottom-line" . . .  if you don't use, you will loose it; or . . . if you rest, you will rust! ! !

NUTRITION & DIET COUNSELING

 I am not a vitam.store!  And I am not a big corporation!  So I only stock those vitamins that I have personally tested myself and found to have worked very well.  So this is what I have: multi-vitamin is the best little insurance policy money can buy because it is good for everything; phyto-nutrients is a blend of organic fruits and vegetables if you are not good at getting your 8-10 servings each day; B-complex will help boost your energy and is nick-named "the nerve vitamin" because it really helps heal nerve damage like sciatica and carpal tunnel; ester C boosts your immune system, reduces alergies, minimizes bleeding; glucosamine-chondroitin stops arthritis; flax seed oil lubricates joints, helps skin conditions, and being extremely high in omega-3 fatty acid helps the liver metabolize fats to reduce cholesterol: herbal muscle relaxer that naturally relaxes spasms while your body heals itself: lastly an awesome herbal detox program that will boost your energy through the roof and loose 6-7 pounds by washing the colon not just emptying it and cleaning out the other internal organs of elimination (kidneys, bladder, liver, gall bladder, lymph, and skin). PERSONALLIZED NUTRITIONAL  & DIET COUNSELING IS AVAILABLE 

NOTE:  I am so excited to share with you the newest addition to our arsenal against sickness and disease.  Its called "chews 4 health".  It is a whole food suppliment.  It is for those of you who are not getting 8-10 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday (80% of us).  This thing is power-packed with 16 organic fruits and sea-vegetables which contain phyto-nutrients that are some of the strongest anti-oxidants on the planet!!!  And it is in a chewable waffer that has a delicious berry flavor.  Right now the manufacturer is working with me by offering a "but one get one FREE".  You can either follow this link  www.chews4health.com/35469 or stop by the office (you do not have to be a patient).

HOME HEALTH SUPPLIES

HEEL LIFTS are absolutely necessary when x-rays show a short leg.  This is an easy fix!

LOW BACK  SUPPORTS are needed to induce and support the normal curve in the lower back.

ORTHOPEDIC NECK PILLOWS will increase and hold the neck curve in proper position (even if you sleep on your side.  This is great for stablizing old whiplash injuries.

HOME NECK TRACTION is a convient and simple therapy that anyone can use at home over any door to help herniated dics in your neck or stenosis that frequently causes carpal tunnel syndrome.
