Chiropractic care has a long history of dramatically improving the life of the patients who make the decision to "give it a try". There is a lot of dispute about this, but if there was nothing more to chiropractic than the placebo effect it would have gone the way of the early 20th century snake oil remedies. Today the preponderance of the scientific evidence is siding with chiropractic being effective for a wide range of spine related conditions. If what we were doing is this effective why add to it?
Dr. Staker has practice for over 40 years and in that time he has helped a lot of people, but he has also seen a lot of his patients continue to return for the same conditions time and time again. Dr. Staker has always been looking for something more for his patients. That brought him to Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP), a chiropractic technique that has critically analyzed the human spine, defined normal values, and care protocols to restore spines back to those values. With CBP we have been able to do a lot more for the long term health of our patients but there was still something missing.
While at a seminar Dr. Staker was introduced to the Power Plate whole body vibration platform. He was able to personally experience what it could do for increasing the flexibility of his hips and that translated to less stiffness in his lower back. He quickly realized that this was something that he could add perfectly to the care with our patients. This has proven to be a great tool for increasing flexibility and core support that so many of our patients require. Here is a short video testimonial from Dr. Cammisa.
In December 2010 we were invited to hear about this BStrong4Life program, which is basically a combination of the Power Plate with this bioDensity isometric strength training unit. We were skeptical that it was as beneficial as it was made out to be, we discovered that we were wrong. BStrong4Life has a huge potential to not only add to the care we give, but also fill a gap that exists today in the care of osteoporosis. Dr. Cammisa has opened a ton of doors in his area that were once locked shut to chiropractors because of the clear combined benefits his care can give patients of all types. Here is a short video of Dr. Cammisa discussing the benefits of the BStrong4Life program on osteoporosis.
Over the past several years we could have bought new computers, tables, or even a new digital x-ray system. Instead we invested in technologies that can help our patients experience a better life. We believe with CBP, Power Plate, and BStrong4Life we have hit on what should be the model for chiropractic today. In additional to innovative techniques and technologies we have a patient centered approach that puts your wants and needs first. Everything we do in the office is optional, none of our patients is on a care plan that they did not elect to do for themselves. For example we have patients that come in for just adjustments, others that come in only for BStrong4Life, and others that do everything in between.
If you interested in experiencing all we have to offer firsthand, give us a call. We give office tours that include doing a few exercises on the Power Plate and bioDensity unit, just call to make an appointment and mention taking an office tour.
