Services & Techniques

At Rissacher Chiropractic Wellness Center, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Stuart Fla.office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr.Tred J Rissacher has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the office or in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Wellness and Lifestyle Counseling

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Dr. Tred J Rissacher can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.

Cold Laser Therapy

LLLT (Low level laser therapy) is a painless, sterile, non-invasive, drug free treatment which is used to treat a variety of pain syndromes, injuries, wounds, fractures, neurological conditions and pathologies. Laser therapy can be used anytime a patient requests or needs a drug less procedure for the control of pain, when convential therapies have been ineffective or when the accelaration of healing from injuries is desired.

How does laser therapy work?

Low level lasers supply energy to the body in the form of non-thermal photons of light. These photons are infra red and are not visible to the human eye. A flashlight looking device is held over the area to receive laser therapy and these photons penetrate the skin down to 5cm or 2-3 inches. When the low level light waves penetrate deeply into the skin, they optimize the immune response of the blood. This has both antiinflammatory and immunostimulate effects. It is a scientific fact that light transmitted to the body in this way has positive effects throughout the whole body, supplying vital oxygen and energy to the cell. 

What to expect during a laser treatment session.

For most people, laser therapy is quite passive. There are no pulsating shocks felt, as in forms of electronic stimulation, nor heat as is felt with ultrasound. The most noticeable sensation felt is the touch of the probe head of the laser, as it comes in contact with the skin. Following (and even during) a laser therapy session approximately 75-80% of patients being treated can notice an immediate improvement in their condition. This will depend primarily on the type of condition and the length of time the condition has been present. Generally, the more chronic or severe the condition, the longer it takes to respond. The majority of conditions treated will take anywhere from 4-5 or 10-18 treatments. Once again, the number of treatments depends upon the severity of the condition and its duration. If your condition does not change immediatelly, it may take 3-4 sessions before a dramatic or marked change is perceived.
