We take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Austin office.

• Chiropractic Care
  We provide advanced spinal correction in our practice 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. 
  
• Spinal Decompression Therapy
  We believe the Triton^®  DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy System manufactured by Chattanooga, Inc. to be one the most advanced, non-surgical and cost-effective alternatives available today.  The Triton DTS is FDA cleared and spinal decompression therapy has been clinically proven with an 86% success rate for pain associated vertebral disc syndromes, pain in the low back and neck, sciatica, pinched nerves and bulging, "slipped", or degenerated disc problems...even after surgery has failed.

So what is the difference between the DRX9000^TM and the Triton^® DTS?

In my opinion, and as far as my patients are concerned, the price.

According to Axiom Worldwide, the makers of the DRX9000^TM, their machine and their machine alone offer "true spinal decompression";  and technically, they are completely correct.  The reason I don't dispute this is because the manufacturer of the DRX9000^TM machine obviously has a brilliant marketing department; they actually named the machine the "DRX9000^TM True Spinal Decompression^TM System".   This full "name" rarely goes unmentioned on any advertisement for the machine.

Nevertheless, as far as the FDA's "classification" and "common name" for both machines is concerned, they are the same for the DRX9000^TM, http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/pdf6/K060735.pdf , as they are for the Triton^®  DTS, http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/pdf5/K053223.pdf.   This is one of the main points I based my decision on to purchase the Triton^® DTS over the DRX9000^TM.

Granted the DRX9000^TM is gorgeous and it comes with all kinds of awesome bells and whistles.  It also comes with a tremendous price tag.  The Triton^® DTS costs 1/10th of what the DRX9000^TM does.  However, when I chose the Triton^® DTS over the DRX9000^TM, it wasn't because of what it would cost me, but rather what it would cost my patients.  I prefer to find ways to offer services for a reasonable fee than be forced to charge thousands and thousands of dollars, in ADVANCE?!?, to cover the cost of my overhead.  Again, my opinion.

For most patients we recommend 18-20 sessions; daily for the first week and 3x/week for the next four weeks .  The cost per session is $45.00; $800-900 for the whole series.  Insurance does cover this service when it is billed correctly as mechanical traction (CPT 97012), not as the experimental code of S9090.  Patients may pay as they go on each day of service.  If they prefer, patients may pay for the whole series in advance and we will apply a 10% pre-payment discount.  We offer treatment for both the cervical or lumbar, the price is the same.

• 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 comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%.
  
• Lifestyle Advice
  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.
  
• Nutritional Counseling
  We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patients return to optimal health.
