Our Services
Dr. Stacie L. Sando Dr. John P. Degenhart
We believe our biggest asset is that we are here for you. No matter how good a chiropractor is, if they are not in the office they cannot help you. So, with our alternating hours, Dr. John and Dr. Stacie are here Monday through Saturday with Sunday emergency calls available.
We both employ a full spectrum of varying chiropractic techniques. For a really spastic patient who needs a more gentle approach, we have Logan Basic with gentle pressure points or the activator. For the majority of our patients we use the Thompson or Pierce techniques which utilize the drop pieces of the table and still effectively, yet gently, correct the spine. Then at the other end of the spectrum we can use Gonstead or Diversified for patients who prefer or need a more physical adjustment. We have seen that not one technique can be used on all patients to get them well. Each patient is unique and some people respond better to different styles of adjustments. We also utilize the gentle Flexion-Distraction technique for low back disc problems.
We would take a thorough case history, trying to be good listeners to your specific health condition. We have our own in-house x-ray machine to locate the sub laxation on an x-ray. We also utilize the state of the art (only one in the area) surface EMG to evaluate and monitor your soft tissue damage.
To supplement our adjustments, we utilize some adjunctive procedures which we have seen to help your body to "hold" its adjustment quicker and last longer by healing the muscles and ligaments. We can utilize ultrasound or muscle stimulation, or a more passive approach whereby the patient lies on a heating, vibrating table to decrease their back spasms. For some of you who have more time and if your condition warrants it, we also utilize three full-time massage therapists for a more thorough "custom designed" way for you to tell the therapist which muscles to work out specifically.
We can also bolster your adjustments with the use of cervical pillows, lumbar pillows, lumbar supports . . . We can give you advice for nutritional products to strengthen your body. We have exercise sheets to do rehabilitative exercises at home to strengthen specific muscular weaknesses as your spine is healing.
All in all, as you can see, we offer you a very comprehensive package. We believe it is the best you can receive. More importantly, we offer you all this service, with a loving spirit. We are busy because we offer our hearts to our patients. We welcome you to allow us to change your life!
