who has suffered the pangs of back pain, a pinched nerve, chronic pain,
or arthritis may have considered or used chiropractic care in the past.
If you haven’t tried chiropractic care recently, a whole new generation
of therapies and treatment options awaits you. One clinic option is WellnessOne
of Lincoln, which is located at 4210 Pioneer Woods Drive. This is one
of three WellnessOne locations in Lincoln, with a fourth expected to
open later in the spring in Omaha. The minute you walk through the door, it’s apparent that this is a different type of chiropractic experience. You’re greeted by a gently flowing waterfall at the Pioneer Woods location, lulling you immediately into a more relaxed frame of mind. The earth-toned color scheme, curving walls, and quiet atmosphere feel spa-like—not clinical, in my opinion. But the treatments and therapy options are state-of-the-art. The decor, with its emphasis on soothing neutral color tones, curvilinear architecture, and water features, is a theme carried throughout all Wellness One locations. The goal is to enhance the healing experience for patients. At WellnessOne, the philosophy is holistic and patient-focused. After taking a case history, the Doctor will then proceed with a chiropractic examination. Each patient will receive a thorough examination with the painless Myovision (a computerized spinal examination) process to evaluate spinal alignment. Some of the procedures that may be performed during a typical exam include: Range of motion of the spine, orthopedic and neurological testing, and examination of your problem area on a chiropractic table or while seated in a chair. The patient is normally fully clothed during the exam. At this time, X-rays may be taken if the doctor needs further information about your condition. In some instances, the patient is referred to a local diagnostic facility for unique X-ray views. Over the years, the doctors at WellnessOne of Lincoln have developed a cooperative, professional relationship with most of the major medical facilities in the area and have a wide database of resources for further medical diagnostic procedures related to your condition if necessary. You will return that afternoon or the next day and the Doctor will review your X-rays and report of tests with you. After the Doctors have had sufficient time to review your exam findings, X-rays and any other related data, they will spend some time with you explaining the results of their findings. At this time, they often review X-ray findings and answer any specific questions you may have about your symptoms or conditions. Patients may be referred within WellnessOne’s three Lincoln locations if it is determined that he or she might benefit from the specialized focus of another WellnessOne physician. This approach is based on the philosophy of what is best for the patient. If the doctors do not believe they can help you or that you should visit a different type of Doctor, they will let you know at this time. Did you know that there are many different chiropractic techniques? They include the Consted, Diversified, Activator, Blair, and Chiropractic Biophysics to name a few. WellnessOne’s doctors are versed in these and many other techniques, and they use them according to the patient’s physical needs. They are also skilled in the use of an activator—a hand-held device that delivers a painless pressure for realignment, which can be used for young children or seniors who may need non-intensive adjustments to their spine. Treatments may also include the use of “roller beds” with massage features or hydrotherapy beds (imagine a waterbed combined with massage technology). Other treatment practices include standard massage and Erchonia 3LT Cold Laser treatments. According to the physicians at WellnessOne, the Erchronia 3LT Cold Laser is the “first and only low-level laser approved by the FDA for use in reducing pain.” This painless treatment option can be used to treat acute and chronic pain such as carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, and fibromyalgia, along with standard sprains, pains, and aches. WellnessOne locations also offer gait analysis and custom orthotics through the Footmaxx Metascan system. There is also detoxification and nutritional counseling using the Pharmanex Nanopak system. They will be adding the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa System for skin care this summer. Every WellnessOne location is a one-stop wellness center with a unique philosophy. The entire staff, including five doctors, nutritionist support, and team leaders, work together in a team-centered atmosphere to provide personalized care and attention to each patient. Their attitude is based on treating the entire patient to maintain balance throughout their body. “ Education is key,” says Susan Stalder, WellnessOne’s marketing officer. WellnessOne is passionate about educating its clients on the benefits of a healthy, well-adjusted spine, which has whole-body ramifications for the entire nervous system. As anyone who has ever experienced back pain can attest, if the back and spinal column aren’t happy, the rest of the body isn’t either. The nervous system can be thrown off through misalignment from age, stress, strain, or disease. When you correct the misalignment, the body can begin to regain its natural balance. A unique part of WellnessOne’s approach to education is their emphasis on community outreach. The doctors and staff can be scheduled to provide talks and lectures to groups or organizations on many health and lifestyle topics. Recent subjects have included, “Stress Management in a Changing World,” “It’s Your Future—Be There Healthy!,” “The Ultimate Workstation Makeover,” and “Industrial Excellence.” And, on May 31, WellnessOne will sponsor a health and fitness event at the Lancaster Event Center. It will feature theirs and other providers’ and vendors’ products and services. It is an opportunity to learn about new therapies, treatments, and products for a healthier lifestyle. For the latest in advanced technology, health, wellness, and healing, you may want to call WellnessOne today to schedule an appointment. All ages are welcome, and chiropractic care is generally covered in whole or in part by most insurance plans, including Medicare.
