Complete chiropractic care does not stop with Dr. Dollinger’s expertise in multiple chiropractic techniques and spinal decompression. Our office also provides physiotherapy procedures to enhance our patients’ recovery process. These include:
- Ultrasound
- Electrical muscle stimulation
- Heat and ice
- Intersegmental distraction
- Exercise rehabilitation
- Orthotic fitting
Patient education in self-care measures is also an important aspect in the treatment of many of our patients. There are many factors that can be instrumental in the healing process such as:
Posture- Exercise (the right types of exercise and the right amount)
- Stretching
- Proper rest
- Stress reduction
Some of the most commonly treated conditions which benefit from chiropractic care are:
Back pain- Neck pain
Headaches/migraines- Sciatica (leg pain)
- Shoulder/arm/hand pain
- Numbness/tingling
- Disc problems
- Prenatal back discomfort
- Dizziness/vertigo
Certain spinal conditions such as osteoporosis, advanced arthritis, and/or disc problems, may require specialized chiropractic techniques. These include:
Activator Technique- Cox Flexion-Distraction Technique
- Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
These methods of adjustment do not produce the same "popping" or "cracking" that is associated with other spinal manipulation techniques. Apprehensive patients, and those patients who would rather not hear or feel the effects of spinal manipulation, can also benefit from non-force or low-force adjustments.
Dr. Dollinger determines which techniques and procedures would be most beneficial for each patient following an initial examination. In some, but not all cases, x-rays are necessary to fully evaluate and properly treat your condition.
