Auto, Worker’s Comp and Sports Injuries
In conjunction with Chiropractic care, in our Rehabilitation area, Dr. Magelssen works with patient’s injuries every day and for forty plus years, he has helped patients get back to their everyday activities. He specializes in Auto and Work Comp injuries, injuries from falls, and sports injuries in all age groups. If you recently suffered an injury, don’t wait to get checked. Many times, the aftereffects of the injury will increase days, weeks and even years after the accident. It’s never a convenient time for an injury; however, we will evaluate extensively the injury and create a specific and individual treatment for you.
Neuropathy Program
Dr. Magelssen treats many patients in our Neuropathy Program that is specifically tailored for your condition. Our program works by addressing the underlying causes of Peripheral Neuropathy (blood ischemia and hypoxia) and not just masking the symptoms with drugs/medication. Give us a call or email us to request an appointment to consult if our Neuropathy program is suited for your condition.
Therapies
For specialized, individual patient treatment plans, we use specific therapies for your condition. For example, this form of therapy (EMS) uses 2-4 adhesive pads on an area of soft tissue, usually muscles, to help with pain management by sending a small amount of electrical current to the tissue underneath the skin. This gentle current level is controlled by you and is easily adjusted up or down during your therapy which usually lasts 10-15 minutes. This electrical current can help reduce spasms, swelling, and inflammation.
