We at Fisher Chiropractic and Integrative Health are pleased to be your resource for Hinsdale acupuncture services. Acupuncture, an ancient method of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is used as a treatment for pain relief, stress relief, and even as an anti-aging treatment. Dr. Fisher, our staff chiropractor, is proud to be offering acupuncture as either a stand alone therapy or as a complement to our other chiropractic treatments, physical therapy, and massage therapy.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves the insertion of ultra thin needles into specific pressure points on the body. When the needles are inserted at the proper points, they will allow the body's "Qi", or proper natural flow of energy, to be restored. An interruption to the Qi is very often one of the reasons for pain associated with personal injury, car accident injury, or chronic conditions.

Our chiropractor, Dr. Fisher, uses biomedical acupuncture as a safe and highly effective back pain and chronic pain relief method. In many cases, our patients find that the initial days and weeks after their personal injury or car accident injury are the most difficult since the pain is at the most severe during that time. Additionally, physical therapy can cause some discomfort in its early stages. All of these pain conditions can be easily resolved with the use of biomedical acupuncture treatments from Dr. Fisher.

Our cosmetic acupuncture treatments are also becoming more popular every day. Anti-aging treatments like Botox do prevent wrinkles -- but few people actually want to have botulism toxin injected into their forehead. With Dr. Fisher's expert acupuncture treatments, the frown lines and other signs of aging like saggy skin can be reversed -- no botulism toxin needs to be injected into your body.

We are so pleased to offer acupuncture here at Fisher Chiropractic and Integrative Health. We feel it is an excellent complement to our other all natural treatments. From back pain to improved appearance, acupuncture can make a big difference for anyone! Do you have any acupuncture questions for us? Please ask here!

Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) is a video-based fluoroscopy system that uses static x-rays with digital technology to view the spine and other intricate areas of the body in real time motion. The DMX machine views areas of the body at 30 exposures per second using real time motion to capture how muscles, ligaments, bones and tissues move. This allows the technicians to view areas that static films and MRI scans miss.

The DMX helps our chiropractic physician evaluate all 22 major ligaments of the cervical spine at once using up to 2,700 x-ray images. The x-ray procedure using DMX is performed with the patient moving in a weight-bearing position using the muscles, nerves and ligaments that produce the pain in their body.

How DMX Aids in Chiropractic Treatment

The DMX system aids our chiropractor in determining the cause of back pain, neck pain, headaches, any kind of personal injury and sports injuries. Many patients who suffer from a personal injury caused by an auto accident, such as whiplash, will not get treated properly because their deep tissue and ligament damage does not show up on x-ray films. With the DMX technology, we can see how the neck and spine moves. This helps us find out what is causing the chronic pain in these areas. Small areas of damage in the neck can not only cause pain in the neck and back, but also headache, nausea and dizziness. By discovering where the damage is, our chiropractor is able to treat and pinpoint specific areas that need attention.

Our Hinsdale chiropractic staff is dedicated to treating pain and preventing future problems. We want to help our patients live healthy, happy lives by using an integrative approach to chiropractic care. This includes providing pain relief first, then corrective care and wellness. The DMX system allows us to treat the pain faster and get you feeling better in record time.
