I use Talsky Tonal Chiropractic, Spinal Touch Treatment, Cranial Adjusting Turner Style and handheld adjusting instruments. These address misalignments of the spine, head, jaw, arms, legs and other parts of the body. Getting adjusted reduces stress in the nervous system, joints and muscles. When joints consistently stay aligned then muscles relax, we move better and pain can improve.

But our body is so much more elegant and complex and why other health conditions often improve with chiropractic care. The joints in our spine have direct access to our nervous system, blood supply and lymph channels. All of these have a direct connection from the spine to the brain and our vital organs. Chiropractic also has a calming effect to the Autonomic Nervous System.

Did you know that only 20% of the time, we are supposed to be in fight or flight and 80% of the time, we should be in calm, heal, rest, digest and heal mode? One of the many benefits of getting adjusted is that this can help our body have a better balance as so many people are in fight or flight way more than 20% of the time. Too many stress and inflammatory chemicals are released when that occurs, which can contribute to a myriad of symptoms. That's why since 1895, when the Chiropractic profession began, so many patients have noticed beneficial changes in their immune system, digestive system, hormonal system and their ability to better react to stress. This is why I personally get adjusted every week by two different chiropractors and that many of my patients continue with regular care, once what they originally came in for has improved.

The lymphatic system is responsible for getting rid of excess fluid and toxic build up. When one is sick the lymph nodules, especially in the neck get swollen. Once recovered, the lymph nodes are no longer swollen. Some experts feel that chronic conditions may indicate that the lymphatic system is not draining properly and is congested. One way to help release build up congestion in that system is with the Chi Machine. It allows for passive motion of the feet, legs, hips, spine and neck as they body sways back and forth. Many of my patients have bought one for themselves to use at home.

Another way to relieve lymphatic congestion is with the Recovery Boots as they squeeze the feet, ankles and thighs in order to pump areas of congestion. I have also used the boots when patient's have had knee, calf or ankle pain. These boots are also all the rage with athletes to help them recover after a game or a workout.

​​Along with the chiropractic adjustment, I include modalities that release tightness and soreness in muscles and the fascia. One can use these on the back, neck, ribs, ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows and hips. I might use electrical stimulation combined with ultrasound. The ultrasound is a deep heat that opens circulation and helps the cells release pain chemicals. The electrical stim is almost like an electric comb that releases tangles in the muscles. I often add essential oils to the conductive gel so that the properties of those oils can work better for pain and inflammation.

The massage gun has a deep vibration that can be used on all parts of the body and doesn't require direct skin contact. I also have tools that are designed to release fascial restrictions. They look like a claw and do require direct skin contact, which allows me to use arnica and essential oils for better effects.

​Lasers are very popular and I have three Low Level Light devices in my office. The BAX 3000 Wand has helped those with sensitivities to foods, pets and outdoor allergens. It's an amazing technology as the light laser wand is hooked up to a laptop, which has the frequencies of thousands of substances. The laser helps the body release endorphins and other chemicals that have healing and calming properties. That laser is also emitting the frequency of a food or other substances that one's body can have a stress response to. The combination of the laser and frequency are designed to help retrain the body to have a calming effect. This in turn is why patients over the years have been able to add foods back, or be around pets, flowers etc. were before their body had a bad reaction to those things. The Near Infrared light pad contains red and blue light to stimulate circulation and reduce inflammation. The Pain Buster Device also reduces inflammation and calms the nervous system for pain relief.

Pregnant women and children also greatly benefit from the positive effects of receiving regular chiropractic care. Being Webster Certified allows me to help babies that are breech or transverse. Getting the mom's anatomy in better alignment allows baby to be in optimal position for birth. Mom's feel better throughout their pregnancy too, finding relief with back pain, groin pain, trouble breathing, nausea, headaches, etc. They appreciate feeling more at peace in preparation for labor, which many have told me over the years was easier when they included Chiropractic care during their pregnancy.

After their baby is born, as a Certified Pediatric Chiropractor, they bring in their baby as birth can be traumatic. Babies who receive care often nurse easier, are calmer, colic can get soothed and chronic ear infections can be relieved. Kids may come in for sports injuries, headaches, back pain, poor posture and stress relief. Chiropractic Wellness visits are helpful for mom and kids to enjoy a happier and healthier life .  

​This Omni device, which is placed over the head emits low level Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency. This can help reduce inflammation for those with concussions and headaches. The Bemer Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency pad relax muscles and enhances circulation. It can be used on the back, abdomen, legs, arms and chest. Many patients find that they feel very relaxed when these Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequencies are used during their chiropractic visit.

Dr. Liselotte Schuster

Some patients moved away to another state or others have been referred to me but do not live in the area. During phone consults we discuss all kinds of issues and can go over lab tests. I might suggest supplements, herbs, Bach flower remedies, essential oils, exercises, Emotional Freedom Technique and anything else that guides them towards a healthier life. It's very satisfying to help patients no matter where they live.
