A Story of Exceeded Expectations
I had the privilege of being invited to a
BNI (Business
Networking International) West-End Chapter meeting where I first
met Dr. David Krohse. Dr. Krohse gave a presentation on
ART (Active Release
Technique) for knees. Now I must tell you I was not a
big fan of going to a doctor for any medical conditions. I tell
you this so you will understand the depth of pain I experienced
from a high school basketball injury in 1988. The only remedy I
was aware of at the time was surgery. Since I knew I would not
play basketball again, I did not force the issue. Thus I went
for the next 20 years in knee pain. The pain continued to get
worse. It became difficult for me to run and to exercise.
Now you understand why I was so intrigued
with Dr. Krohse when he said he could perform ART without
surgery. I did not believe he could help. I went in a skeptic
and came out a believer. I am proud to say Dr. Krohse not only
helped to alleviate the pain in my knee, he also gave me a new
found respect for Chiropractors. After all he was the first
Chiropractor I had the privilege of meeting. Dr. Krohse made a
great first and lasting impression on me and my knees.
Thank you for all the work you do.
Respectfully,

Condition of the Month –
Knee Pain
Knee pain can be one of the most frustrating
conditions as it makes it nearly impossible to maintain decent
levels of fitness. Often a knee injury is the starting point of
a downward cycle toward poor health and ongoing pain.
Fortunately for Central Iowans, Compass
Chiropractic is often able to offer effective nonsurgical
solutions for knee pain. Care for knee pain begins with a
thorough examination to determine the sources of the pain. These
sources can include misalignments of the knee joint, scar tissue
around the knee, and increased stress on the knee due to flat
feet.
Dr. David Krohse is able to address each of
these common causes. Hands-on or gentle instrument-assisted
chiropractic extremity
adjustments address misalignments in the knee joint.
Active Release Techniques
is extremely effective at resolving scar tissue around the knee.
Flat feet can be supported with recommended off-the-shelf or
guaranteed custom
orthotics following a digital foot scan to determine
exactly what is needed.
If you know someone suffering from knee pain
please recommend that they visit Compass Chiropractic before
trying surgery. Even if surgery eventually becomes necessary,
surgeons around the country are implementing Active Release
Techniques into their recommended pre and post surgery rehab
procedures.
A no-charge consultation is always available
where Dr. David Krohse will thoroughly explain the options for
care in a no-pressure environment.
