Our Common Chiropractic Services 

For those who have never visited a chiropractor, you may think that your body is harmed through an improper movement, a spasmodic jerk, perhaps through a sports injury or a car accident. But that’s not always the case. 

 

We are regularly using our muscles and joints, and frequently, we’re not using them correctly. 

 

For instance, we often carry our large bags, toddlers, or physically-demanding work-related materials on only one side of our body- the dominant side. Athletes overuse specific muscle groups regularly. Office employees sit with improper posture daily. You get the idea.

 

Not all of these things will create immediate, sharp pain; however, when done over a period of time, your body is thrown off balance. Muscles need to overcompensate for areas that aren’t being supported as they should. Pressure is put on ligaments and joints that are not meant to hold that pressure. Spinal alignment is pushed out of place. These things will all eventually show themselves as pain. 

 

Dr. DeSantis will get the muscles, ligaments, and joints working together as they should through his chiropractic care solutions. Once they start talking to each other as they were meant to, your body will find its balance again, and your pain will dissipate. 

 

Chiropractic Adjustments

Sometimes called spinal manipulation, our adjustments apply manual pressure to the joint that’s causing you pain with a quick, controlled thrust. These adjustments often immediately provide pain relief in the back, neck, and shoulders and quickly restore range of motion. 

 

Dr. DeSantis may determine that a chiropractic adjustment is necessary on other body parts, such as your hands, ankles, or other extremities. 

​

 

The McKenzie Method

This therapy is designed to nurture the relationship between the patient and the patient’s body so independent care can take the place of dozens of doctor visits. This method also leads to proactive care to avoid future body harm. 

 

Patients who receive this solution will learn how to best support the cause of their symptoms and rid themselves of pain or discomfort. Often, we discuss mobility and movement patterns, as well as posture. Education is key to a happy, functioning body. 

​

 

Evidence-Based Chiropractic Care  

Our Rice Lake chiropractic office offers evidence-based care to each patient. This means that we will get a full grasp on every patient’s individual needs and preferences to best support them through treatments they approve. Our patient’s care and well-being will always be at the forefront of our treatment plans. 

​

 

Therapeutic Exercises and Stretches

Whenever possible and safe, we will put together a program the patient can take home that offers realistic exercises and stretches. Dr. DeSantis has found that when combining these therapies with his chiropractic services in the office, the patient sees quicker, more effective results. 

 

Patients will never be asked to do more than they are capable of or committed to. 

​

 

Massage Therapy

Massage is a great way to loosen and relax stubborn muscles. When the muscles are more pliable, Dr. DeSantis can better manipulate the joints and bones, allowing for a more successful and efficient solution plan. 

​

 

Kinesio Taping Therapy (KT)

This method is used to relieve pain in muscles, joints, and ligaments quickly. The tape will add support to the damaged area, reduce swelling, and increase range of motion and proper mobility. 

 

In addition to these chiropractic manipulations and rehabilitation exercises, our chiropractic office offers: 

 

• Exercising modifications and new programs to support your body’s capabilities 

• Proper sleeping positions

• Stretches

• Mobility exercises

• Postural exercises

• Strength exercises

• Desk and driving ergonomics
