Chiropractic Techniques
I've learned multiple techniques to provide the most effective care possible. Many of these Chiropractic techniques are used on players in the NFL, NBA, NHL, to speed up recovery time and prevent future injuries. Please see our page on sports performance for more information about these Chiropractic techniques.
Chiropractic Myths
It has come to my attention that some people are hesitant to go to an Omaha Chiropractor because they do not have experience with one. There are many myths that go around the public. Here are a few.
Chiropractors and Medical Doctors do not get along.
It is true some Omaha Medical Doctors are not informed on how chiropractic works and the extensive education Chiropractors receive. Yet, I enjoys working with other Omaha Medical Doctors and we treat many M.D.’s.
Chiropractic is not based on science.
Chiropractic has years of research to back up the importance of joint biomechanics and how the body should best transfer forces most effectively. All techniques used in my office are evidence based. I pride myself on keeping up with new and current research as it comes out.
Physical Therapy or Massage Therapy will do the same thing.
A chiropractic adjustment is unique therapy that is not found in other massage and physical therapy offices in Nebraska. Chiropractors adjust the joints that help align and repair normal joint function. Chiropractors are also trained in diagnostics and imaging so you do not need a referral to be treated. A chiropractor may refer you to a physical therapist or massage therapist if it is beneficial.
Once you see a chiropractor you always have to go back.
Chiropractic is a fast and effective method to relieve pain. Chiropractic can also work well after the pain has gone away. Many of my patients choose to have their back checked up and adjusted on a regular schedule so that they keep good joint alignment. This will in turn prevent future chronic conditions. This is equivalent to having a Dentist clean your teeth. Wellness care with Chiropractic Adjustments is not required by out patients but may be recommended on an individual basis.
Chiropractic is only for adults.
Most back pain and joint conditions are not due to old age. This means that even children may require an adjustment. Having an Omaha chiropractor check your children’s spine on a regular basis will help them prevent simple conditions that can become chronic later in life. It will also ensure they develop a healthy spine. Unlike teeth, we all have one spine and it’s important to take care of it from birth. When was the last time a professional look at how well your joints functioned?
