Halloween 2009

This year we had some fun at the office for Halloween. We had a great time on a very busy day at Helton Chiropractic in Lubbock and Levelland. The girls dressed up as Chiropractic Beauty Queens. Lindsey was Miss Diagnosis, Allison was Miss D'Appointment, Jennifer was Miss Treatment, Tasha was Miss Handled, and Mandy was Miss Underestimated. Ella was Dr. Helton's clone.

Acupuncture sinus success story

Jeannie Speed Harlan Thank you Dr. Helton for the accupuncture session on my sinuses. My head was clearing and ears were popping before I left the parking lot. My head stayed clear all week. I reccommed this to anyone with sinus problems. Thank you again!

Sinus and Allergy Protocol

I wanted to post a few pics of the facial points used during the Sinus Protocol. I've been doing more of these treatments as the weather has changed and there are more allergens in the air. Full disclosure: The patient pictured is my father. He's suffered from sinus/hayfever problems most of his adult life. He has tried multiple medications and sees and allergist for injections. He noticed a marked change 24 hours after treatment and has noticed 4 days so far of decreased symptoms including less inflammation, decreased congestion, and decreased sinus pain and pressure. Remember, these points can be stimulated with laser instead of needles if someone is squeamish about needles. Or, these points can be stimulated by both laser and needle.

Acupuncture protocol for Sinus/Allergies/Stuffy Nose

One of the main reasons I began my acupuncture certification was to be able to help my patients with chronic sinus infections, sinusitis, allergies......essentially what is termed the "crud." I'm excited to begin treatments in my office with a protocol designed to help alleviate the symptoms. I can use needles, laser, acupressure, or a combination of the 3. If you're suffering from these symptoms and have tried everything else, contact our office to see if I can help you get over this stuff naturally. Read an article about it here. So far, my acupuncture has been used to help several women begin labor and with carpal tunnel and elbow pain. I'm hoping, as my schedule allows it, to begin focusing on other conditions with acupuncture.

Getting ready for Acupuncture

Dr. Helton is pleased to announce that he has completed the coursework and passed all examinations necessary to attain his certification in Acupuncture. Dr. Helton is now a Fellow of the International Academy of Acupuncture (FIAMA.) He is going to continue his education to attain the status of Diplomate of Acupuncture (DiplAc.) The Diplomate program is an additional 200 hours of study along with clinical research. The acupuncture that he will provide is considered medical acupuncture in that it involves treatment for neuromusculoskeletal conditions. Dr. Helton will utilize both needle and non-needle techniques. The non-needle techniques are pressure, electric stimulation, and laser stimulation. The treatments will vary in length from 5 to 15 minutes depending on condition.
