More about Dr. Rik Wahlrab DC, the "AgeStrong Doc"
If you are fed up with your frequent pain and being put through the merry-go-round of doctors and therapists and treatments that don't work...give me a call. I have spent my career helping people "who couldn't be helped"...people who had given up on the hope of ever feeling better.
The AgeStrong Lifestyle: I have become rather obsessed with the idea of having a long "healthspan"...the idea of living a long, healthy life and then dying rather suddenly at an old age. Who wants to live a long time but have the last 10-20 years being miserable due to health and back issues? There are MANY WAYS to help ensure YOU (and I) have a much better lifespan while being healthy. Truly the perspective I bring with my patients keeps that in mind at all times. Want quick pain relief that doesn't fix anything? Morphene and Oxycontin work. But that's NOT the way to get WELL. I'm here to help your structure be strong and healthy, and help the cells inside your body, like your heart, brain, and microbiome, be as active, efficient, and "STRONG" as possible. AgeStrong is my motto and I work with my patients following that credo.
How am I different than the rest?
First...nothing beats experience and I've helped tens of thousands of patients over the years. Whatever you've got, I've probably seen it and I know what to do; what works and what doesn't. If I can't help I'll refer you to someone who might. When you're in pain you want someone decisive to help you right NOW! That's me.
Second...I use the most advanced procedures you'll find anywhere. Even some professional athletes don't have access to some of this equipment. I treat the physical structures to help them function properly.
In addition, I address the INSIDE story of diet and nutrition. The advice I share is what my wife and I have been following for about 40 years now, including some NEW discoveries that have become known in just the past year or two. It's exciting to be at the forefront of these advancements and I work to pass along curated information to my patients to keep it simple. My wife and I study the information and research so you don't have to, and we give our best advice that we follow ourselves. Check out the Nutrition page for more information!
Third...providing health care, especially as a chiropractor, is an art, not just a science. The answers aren't always found on Google or in a book. It is important to be capable and confident in helping people feel better and get healthier. I'm from a family of chiropractors and I think there is some kind of genetic predisposition to having "it"...the skill to discern what the real situation is with a patient and to proceed onto the most efficient path. I'm very good at delivering a painless, specific, and let's say terrific adjustment. It has always come naturally to me. A lot of my patients have been to other chiropractors and they stick with me because I'm good at this...that's what they say.
Forth...I truly care about helping you get well. Some doctors make you feel like you're simply a number, that you're part of their "assembly line" and don't seem to care that you're an individual with unique needs. I care.
If you've got back or neck pain, headaches, pain between the shoulders, or hip, knee, foot, shoulder, arm, or hand pain, I can probably help. Give us a call and let's see what we can do.
