One premise of chiropractic is that when the
flow of nerve impulses to parts of the body is hindered, illness, pain,
numbness, weakness and tingling can result. Causes of these 'pinched
nerves' include herniated, bulging and degenerated discs as well as
spinal misalignments (subluxations) and muscle tightness. Chiropractic
manipulation, including Cox Flexion-distraction decompression, helps
remove this interference and restores normal nerve flow to the
musculoskeletal system. Cox Flexion-distraction can also be modified to
treat pregnant patients with back pain and sciatica.
As a Chiropractic Orthopedist, Dr. Kruse
frequently treats conditions such as rotator cuff impingement and
tendonitis, hip bursitis, knee pain and plantar fasciitis. Both offices
provide massage therapy, physiotherapies, Acupuncture, custom foot
orthotics, kinesio tape, muscle activation technique, nutrition, and
rehabilitation.
