Intradiscal Disc Decompression..ie, cervical and
lumbar decompression
  By painlessly stretching the spine, IDD
treatments create a vacuum within the discs,
drawing fluid back in so they rehydrate, and
essentially, return to their natural, healthier
state.  Over time, healing occurs and along
with it, increased flexibility and diminished
pain.  And, the success rate is unusually high
--- more that 75 percent of patients are
successfully treated and find significant relief.

cost, low tech, revealing, painless,
non-invasive, screening test.We use Infrared
Thermal Imaging as a screening test only. We do
not diagnose from these images. In fact, when we
discover an abnormal scan, these patients are
referred to their primary care physician for
further evaluation.

What Do We Treat ?

• Our doctors specialize in the evaluation and
  treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders
• We excel in the treatment of low back pain, neck
  pain, and headaches, including disc injury, and
  soft tissue injury secondary to Low Speed Rear
  Impact Collisions (LOSRIC)
• Virtually 100 of what we treat is of a
  musculoskeletal origin and responds very well to
  conservative chiropractic care

33
Commonly Treated Conditions

• Neck pain, arm pain, and headache
• Low back and/or leg pain including
  HNP/radiculopathy
• (usually treated conservatively with
  flexion-distraction)
• Extremity sprain/strain
• Carpal/Tarsal Tunnel Syndromes
• Facet syndrome, myofascial pain disorders,
  fibromyalgia
• (MD/DC approach preferred)
• Scoliosis evaluation

34
Spinal Manipulation/Therapy

• The mode of treatment most often used in a
  Chiropractic setting is
• spinal manipulation.
• A wealth of research exists on the effectiveness
  and safety of
• appropriately administered spinal manipulation
  (copies of specific
• literature can be provided upon request).
• Therapy modalities are also administered when
  pain, spasm and
• inflammation are present.
• Exercises are given to virtually every patient.
• Activities of Daily Living are also discussed
  with each patient,
• in addition to nutritional issues when
  appropriate or requested.

35
Therapy Modalities

• Our office utilizes several forms of basic
• therapeutic modalities. Patients requiring
• more extensive therapy are referred to local
• PT centers.
• High volt electric muscle stimulation
• Interferrential Current
• Intersegmental Traction
• Hot and Cold packs
• TENS In advanced or permanent cases

36
Safety Issues

• Patient safety is always a concern.
• Our doctors carefully screen each patient to
  determine if they are a candidate for
  chiropractic care/manipulation/rehab.
• If a potential risk is identified the patient is
  sent back to the referring physician for further
  diagnostic tests or alternative treatment options.

37
Liability

• One of the greatest concerns regarding a referral
  
• to a chiropractor is that of liability.
  However,
• please consider that our doctors follow very
  strict
• guidelines.
• Liability associated with spinal manipulation is
• very low. The average D.C. pays a mere 1,400
• per year in malpractice premiumsso you be
• the judge whether or not liability truly exists
• concerning referral to a DC.

38
Treatment Guidelines

• Our office adheres to stringent nationally
  accepted guidelines.
• In general, if a patient does not respond with
  2-4 weeks of care,
• treatment is terminated and other factors are
  considered.
• Typical Treatment Strategy
• 2 weeks initially, followed by re-evaluation.
• If improvement noted, treatment continues.
• If no improvement, change treatment for two
  weeks, and
• re-evaluate again.
• Referral back to PCP/Specialist if improvement
  unsatisfactory
• at any point.

39
Manipulation Contraindications

• Advancing neurological deficits
• Joint infection
• Fracture
• Joint instability
• Ankylosing Spondylitis
• Tumor
• Abnormal provocative maneuver (History of CVA)
• High risk pregnancy

40
Exploring The Myths Drugs

• One of the most common myths surrounding
  Chiropractic is the belief that Chiropractors do
  not advocate the use of medication or surgery.
• Nothing could be further from the truth. Our
  office works closely with and receives a large
  number of referrals from area medical physicians.
  
• We also maintain an extensive list of physicians
  to whom we refer. We believe by providing
  treatment options, including drugs when
  necessary, we can better serve our patients.

41
How much is enough?

• Myth Once a patient begins care, they have
• to keep going the rest of their life.
• If that were true, we would never have room
• for new patients.
• Reality The majority of patients consult our
  office,
• get treated, get well, and are released from
  careperiod.

42
What about Wellness Care?

• Once the patients condition has resolved or
  reaches the point of maximum therapeutic
  recovery, they are released PRN and/or instructed
  to return to their PCP.
• If a patient chooses wellness care, they are
  instructed on the importance of mental, physical,
  and spiritual well-being (obviously mental and
  spiritual concerns are referred elsewhere), and
  the need to utilize a multi-disciplinary team
  approach. No type of physician does it all!
  Chiropractic is but one spoke in the wheel of
  health.
• Chronic pain According to the literature,
  singular treatment interventions are doomed for
  failure. MDs should be referring to DCs, and DCs
  should be referring to MDs. Its the right thing
  to do for the good of our patients!!

43
Education/Training/Skill

• Myth Chiropractors have a limited education.
• Fact Chiropractors are well educated and
  trained, completing 4 years of undergraduate
  studies, 4 years of study at an accredited
  chiropractic college with heavy emphasis on
  neuromusculoskeletal dx and tx, followed by
  passage of stringent national and state board
  examinations, then followed by the typical yearly
  CE requirements, a minimum of 24 hours.
• Additionally, post-graduate specialties can be
  obtained.
• Dr. Farabaugh possesses sub-specialty
  certifications in both Sports Medicine and Low
  Speed Rear Impact Collision and Accident
  Reconstruction.

44
Why Refer Patients To A Chiropractor?

• If your patient is not responding to traditional
  medical
• care, a referral to a chiropractor is often an
  appropriate
• and effective alternative. Patients appreciate
  your
• willingness to consider other options.
• The types of cases which often frustrate medical
  physicians
• are the very types of cases most commonly
  treated by DCs.
• LBP, leg pain, neck pain, and headaches are the
  most
• common conditions treated in a chiropractic
  office.
• Chiropractic manipulative techniques and rehab
  are
• also very effective for extremity injury.

45
Research

• Our office houses a very large data base of
  research.
• A wealth of research exists demonstrating the
  effectiveness and safety of manipulation for
  both acute and chronic neck and low back pain.
• Studies and articles concerning soft tissue
  healing, chronic pain, etiology of pain, and Low
  Speed Rear Impact Collision (LOSRIC) can be
  obtained upon request.
• If you wish to be added to our monthly research
  update program, just let us know!
