Chiropractic

Dr. Wolfe practices several techniques, ranging from non-force to traditional adjusting.This allows him to tailor his approach for each patient's needs. Correcting subluxation of spinal vertebrae is the basic goal of chiropractic, and can have tremendous positive impact in the restoration of one's health, besides helping to resolve acute and chronic pain syndromes such as neck, back,and extremity pain. Vertebrae can be disturbed and misaligned from the birth process on up, through falls and accidents, so chiropractic is appropriate for people of all ages, including children.

Doug's years of experience treating and helping people have taught him to adjust smoothly and painlessly, with minimal discomfort and maximum results.

Acupuncture

A healing art over 5000 years old is bound to stir interest and get results. The basic premise of acupuncture involves the flow of Chi, or energy, through the acupuncture points, which lie along 12 main meridians. When a problem or injury exists in a part of the body, the Chi flow is interrupted to and from that area. By stimulating surrounding pints and some distal pints, the flow and blood supply can be brought back to normal in the area.

Dr. Wolfe's original training was in the Japanese style, which is very practical and effective. He has learned and used many applications of acupuncture, not only for pain, but also for many internal problems resulting from the imbalance of Chi energy. Besides using new disposable needles, he will more often us the "needle-less" Acuscope 80, which stimulates the points with electricity only. The stimulation is computerized, and can have an immediate effect. Doug is the only practitioner in the area using the Acuscope, and has 15 years experience with the instrument. Dr. Wolfe also uses acupressure and laser acu-therapy, which is used mainly on the ear points, which can affect any part and organ of the body.

Nutritional Therapy

Herbs, vitamins and minerals can play an important role in restoring one's health. In the hands of an experienced doctor they can be even more effective. Doug has used these natural tools for almost 2 decades, and has attended many hours of post-graduate training in their use. He also has cleansing plans for patients who want to go that extra step to restore their health. Colon, liver and gallbladder cleansing can do wonders to jump-start your health, removing years of toxic build-up. These measures can often help prevent degenerative diseases and surgery.

Keeping up with all the latest in nutritional research and discoveries can be near impossible, and having a doctor such as Doug to give some guidance can not only be more effective, but save the patient wasted money on unneeded supplements.

Physio-Therapy

Besides using chiropractic, acu-therapy, and nutrition in his practice, Dr. Wolfe also employs several physiotherapies, such as ultrasound, muscle-stim, diathermy, hot packs, intersegmental traction (roller table), and flexion traction (prone mechanical stretching).These therapies can truly enhance the healing experience, providing faster relief for acute and chronic pain by loosening and softening the surrounding soft tissues such as the muscles and ligaments to increase circulation and decrease inflammation.

Auto Accidents

Dr. Wolfe has been treating auto accident victims since 1983, and can help to resolve these painful injuries quickly and with minimal discomfort. He's experienced and comfortable dealing with the unpleasant side of these cases, such as insurance companies, lawyers, and juries. Dr. Wolfe's experience plus that of his staff will help you to a speedy recovery, minimizing the long term effects of such accidents. The negative effects from auto accidents often will not show up immediately, but nevertheless can be devastating later on.

If anyone you know is involved in an accident, even a seemingly minor one, please know how important it is to be checked out and treated immediately. Also a note about your auto insurance... people are often sold a policy with a PPO type PIP (Personal Injury Protection/Medical) coverage in order to save a few dollars each year. I urge you to decline this type of PIP, as it severely limits you in the case of a claim involving injuries, forcing you to go to the doctor of their choice, not yours. This often results in poorer quality medical/chiropractic treatment.

Work Injuries

Dr. Wolfe has treated on-the-job injuries since 1983, especially those involving neck and back sprains and strains. His combination of therapies can help the injured worker continue working as soon as possible, often missing no work. If your company does not have a designated clinic for the injured employee's first visit, or would like a more effective, "worker friendly" one, have them adopt Cornerstone Wellness Clinic as their "first stop" clinic.

Smoking & Weight Loss

Dr. Wolfe has been helping people quit smoking with acupuncture and herbs for over 25 years with a success rate of over 70%. The devastating effects of smoking are well known, and Doug enjoys helping people quit this destructive habit.

Weight problems are epidemic in America, causing many health problems. Dr. Wolfe's approach includes diet, exercise, herbs and acupuncture. With a "whole life" approach to losing weight, he can help you lose the extra pounds and keep them off.

Radiographics

We have a complete x-ray facility for taking and developing spinal x-rays. These can be invaluable for analyzing your condition, especially if you've been in an accident. Dr. Wolfe is fully trained in radiography and has attended several postgraduate courses. Although very helpful, x-rays are not necessary to treat all of our patients.
