St. Paul, MN, 01/14/10 - Dr. Robert Thatcher and Health and Wellness Center of Mid-America are pleased to announce that Dr. Thatcher uses the latest and chiropractic technology, traditional chiropractic techniques, and acupuncture to help alleviate pain in his patients.
Acupuncture has been used by the Chinese as a means of relieving pain for thousands of years. Western medicine seldom recognizes its value because of the way it is set up to work with meridians that focus energy within the body. However, even the most modern Western doctors admit that acupuncture is a viable and valuable tool in pain relief.
In addition to providing acupuncture Dr. Thatcher is an expert in chiropractic manipulation of the spine to relieve pain caused by pinched nerves due to spinal subluxation. He also has tools at his disposal that can help relieve the pain of slipped or herniated discs in the back and neck.
Using the combination of procedures available to him, Dr. Thatcher has had success at relieving pain brought about by injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraine, fibromyalgia, and other causative factors. If a spinal adjustment is needed the doctor is skilled in providing gentle, sure pressure that brings the vertebrae back into proper alignment.
For other causes of pain, when acupuncture is appropriate, the doctor is skilled in the proper placement of the needles to release pressure and relieve pain.
