Wishing You Happy and Healthy Holidays!
Recent Advanced Additions at Compass Chiropractic
Arthrostim Adjusting Instrument: The Arthrostim Adjusting Instrument has recently been added as an option to provide optimal care at Compass Chiropractic. This handheld adjusting instrument puts 12 impulses per second into problem spinal, arm, or leg joints. The force of the impulses can be adjusted instantly from ounces to 40 pounds making it ideal to address joints all over the body as well as children, seniors, and pregnant patients. It will allow Dr. Krohse to make rapid changes in patients' pain levels, range of motion, and joint function. Those who prefer that their neck or low back not be rotated during adjustments will especially appreciate this new adjusting instrument.
Myovision Surface EMG: Myovision surface (electromyography) EMG is able to determine real time tension in the muscles along each side of the spine. Often spinal muscles around problem areas clench down. In the low back, weakened spinal muscles can be a partial cause ongoing pain. The Myovision enables Dr. Krohse to determine even more specifically the causes of pain and put together a plan to fix the problems.
$188 Guaranteed Custom Orthotics Reorder Special
Our custom orthotics provider, Foot Levelers, has announced a special promotion for the month of December where any spinal pelvic stabilizers custom orthotics reorder is available at $188. If you have purchased a pair of orthotics and have found them to be beneficial, this is the best deal available to pick up a second pair for a different pair of shoes.
Compass Chiropractic in the Press
Register Health Forum: Dr. David Krohse will be answering questions in the Des Moines Register Health Forum, which you can find in Monday's Iowa Life section and Wednesday's Health section. Answers will focus on conditions where Dr. Krohse's very thorough examination is able to determine the specific muscles, joints, and nerves causing pain. A comprehensive approach consisting of adjustments, Active Release Techniques, and patient involvement through specific stretching and strengthening is often able to rapidly resolve these conditions including shoulder pain, hip pain, back pain, neck pain, headaches, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Feel free to submit a question to Dr. Krohse through the contact form at CompassChiro.com.
Des Moines Juice: Dr. David Krohse was featured in the Juice as a young business owner making it in Des Moines. The article highlighted the uniqueness of his specialty, Active Release Techniques, as well as his focus on becoming actively involved in the community.
Health Hub: Dr. Krohse continues to answer cycling-related health questions in the Des Moines Cycle Club's Newsletter, Draftlines. This newsletter has become a valuable resource for local cyclists thanks to the diligence of its editor, Georgie Libbie, from Insight Advertising, Marketing, and Communications, an Urbandale-based advertising agency (515-331-3206).
