Halleljuah! We are almost there!

We are getting SO close to "officially" opening the doors of Redenius Chiropractic! We will be working hard throughout this next week to finish all of the small things that need to be put in place before "officially" opening the doors. 

As many might have noticed, our big window decals list many of the services we provide, and if you drive by, you will notice that there is much more than just "back-cracking" going on at Redenius Chiropractic! 

Because we are so close to opening, this blog post lists just some of what Redenius Chiropractic can offer you and your family. Read on to learn the answers to some FAQ's we frequently get about the clinic.

Spinal Adjustments-  Dr. Redenius will use manipulation with our patients to correct misalignments in the body. If left untreated, these misalignments can cause patients a wide range of unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, stiffness, decreased range of motion, low back pain, numbness, and much more. Though most adjustments in a chiropractic office are of the spine, Redenius Chiropractic also provides extremity adjustments. Because Dr. Redenius took a substantial amount of additional training beyond the required course work at Palmer College, he is well qualified to adjust both upper and lower extremities ranging from patients feet to shoulders.  If you have never had your feet adjusted--try it out--seriously!

Activator- The activator, or "clicker" as it is commonly referred to, is a device that allows Dr. Redenius to adjust you without having to physically manipulate your body. If you are one that does not like "your back cracked" (for lack of a better term), the activator is a way to get the benefits from an adjustment without a physical manipulation.

Spinal Decompression- Many individuals do not realize how beneficial spinal decompression therapy is for people who are experiencing pain. Individuals with herniation's, slipped discs, ruptured discs, disc tears, bulging discs, disc degeneration, degenerative disc disease, spinal canal stenosis, facet syndrome, sciatia, and back pain in general are commonly treated using decompression therapy. A lot of people ask if this therapy hurts, and it is actually quite opposite of that. Most patients describe the treatment as very relaxing (a few have even fallen asleep)! More information on spinal decompression can be found here.

Chiropractic Care for Pregnancy- Chiropractic care is extremely safe and beneficial for expecting mother's. Chiropractors that have been trained to work with pregnant women may use tables that adjust for a pregnant woman’s body, and they will use techniques that avoid unneeded pressure on the abdomen. During pregnancy, there are several physiological and endocrinological changes that occur in preparation for creating the environment for the developing baby. These changes can result in a misaligned spine or joints. It is also important for a pregnant mom to establish pelvic balance and alignment. Seeking out chiropractic care during a pregnancy can help not only with joint and lower back pain, but can also help prepare the body for an easier and safer delivery.

Pediatric Chiropractic Care- Patients of ALL ages (even babies) benefit from chiropractic care. At Redenius Chiropractic, patients of all ages are encouraged to come in to receive chiropractic care. Many do not know that chiropractic care helps children of all ages with issues like: ear aches, bed-wetting, ADD/ADHD, growth-pains, colic, sleep problems, Torticollis, scoliosis, head pains, teething. This is just a short list of what chiropractic care can do for young patients.

Nutritional Counseling- Dr. Redenius has extensive education on nutrition. He can help you learn how what you eat and when you eat it impacts your daily life. He can also help explain how diet impacts pre-existing conditions as well as how diet can be used to help prevent chronic disease. Dr. Redenius can sit down with you to discuss meal plan options or just overall nutritional guidelines you should seek to follow based off your individual needs.

Therapeutic Modalities- These modalities treat injuries, back pain, muscle tightness, etc., etc. etc. Dr. Redenius provides ultrasounds, decompression therapy, ice therapy, and electronic stimulation as therapeutic modalities for his patients.

DOT/Sports Physicals- Dr. Redenius provides both DOT and sports physicals for his patients.  DOT physicals are just $90.00 and sports physicals are just $25.00 with a free t-shirt! Call today to get yours in before school starts!

X-Ray's- Not only are x-ray's used to address the needs of injured patients, x-rays are used to initially treat patients as well. In order to receive the most accurate chiropractic care possible, Dr. Redenius may suggest x-raying your spine to get a better picture of what your spinal health looks like.


Athletic Training- Dr. Redenius received his undergraduate degree in Athletic Training, and has over six years of athletic training experience. He served as the Head Athletic Trainer for the men's and women's rugby teams at Palmer College in Davenport. Dr. Redenius is qualified and knowledgeable in knowing how to treat athletic injuries of all levels. He can also provide x-rays to athletes who suffer from an injury. If the x-ray shows a fracture, he will refer out to a qualified health care specialist.

Massage- Massage therapy is also offered at Redenius Chiropractic. Haley Abbott, LMT, is a very qualified massage therapist who has over ten years of massage experience. She offers a wide range of techniques. Call Redenius Chiropractic at 712-464-3301 to set up your first massage appointment with Haley today!

A final note: As stated in a previous blog post, pain is usually the LAST symptom of dis-ease. Often times, an issue goes on for a long time before the body decides to "tell you about it." If we leave you with anything this week, we hope to leave you with the understanding of how important preventative health care is. Eating healthy foods, exercising, and making regular visits to Redenius Chiropractic will help you feel better in all areas of your life, and we promise you will see benefits from being proactive about your own health and well-being.

You can call 712-464-3301 today to set up your first appointment with Dr. Redenius or your first massage with Haley!
