Dr. Douglas Asks some important questions of interest to Cedar Rapids residents - Chiropractor Cedar Rapids Dr. Douglas Asks...

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Cedar Rapids folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.

About Dennis Chiropractic in Cedar Rapids

We've been delivering quality chiropractic care to the Cedar Rapids since 1996.

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they�ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:

1. Relief Care�for Cedar Rapids
Relief or wellness care... it's your choice.

When many people seek care in our office�they have one goal: relief. So that�s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

  • Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
  • Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
  • Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
  • Explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care
2. Wellness Care�for Cedar Rapids

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

I have two goals for you

They are�Get Perfect Back Health and Get Back Perfect Health.�

I strongly believe you cannot attain one without the other.� I�m Dr. Douglas Dennis and I believe that stress is the cause of discomfort and eventual disease.� Stress comes in many forms: structural, emotional, toxins, allergies and nutritional deficiency.� Each of these stresses can cause or contribute to the dysfunction of one or all of the others.�

STRUCTURAL- In Chiropractic, we cover structural stress.� It has always been my goal to help return my patients to pre-injury condition as quickly as possible.� Many patients want to be more than pain free.� They want to be at optimal health and function.� I have developed and use many muscle balancing techniques and exercises to help patients quickly achieve optimal structural balance.� I work with many athletes to improve performance.

EMOTIONAL- I am also a certified Neuro Emotional Technique Practitioner and use other emotional balancing techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique, to help balance emotional stress.� These techniques can be used to relieve the emotional stress that manifests as structural imbalance, but it can also be used to find and eliminate self-limiting beliefs that prevent success in many areas of life.

TOXINS� Many patients are also affected by toxins, either internal or external.� Long-term exposure to toxins, absorbed through the skin, inhaled, or consumed as food and drink, accumulates in our systems and interferes with the normal function of our bodies.�� I use Homeopathies and nutritional supplements as detoxifiers to help the body eliminate internal toxins and balance intestinal yeast.�

ALLERGIES- I�ve developed a technique I call Allergy R.E.S.E.T. (Rapid Environmental Sensitivity Elimination Technique) for the reduction and elimination of allergies.�

NUTRITION- Nutritional deficiency is rampant in our society, despite the abundance of food.� We are bombarding our bodies with food depleted of nutrition and full of partially hydrogenated saturated fats which act as inflammatory agents in our body.� I use several nutritional supplements, primarily from Standard Process.� The company has developed whole food supplements to support the body�s ability to repair itself and speed healing.
