Video from "The Doctors" TV show on Scoliosis

http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/procedure_list/1329
The above is a link to the Doctors TV show showing chiropractic treatment for scoliosis.  At Helton Chiropractic, we have treated children and adults for years with scoliosis.  Patients usually suffer from pain due to the curvatures.  We can not only help them with pain but also sometimes reduce the curvature or slow down the progression.  Dr. Helton has used the ATM2 Pro to exercise the spine and reduce and stabilize the curves.  It's also very effective for unlevel hips and shoulders. 

AMC Training for the Entire Staff!

We returned from Dallas this weekend after taking the entire staff of both offices for training at the AMC seminar.  I was very proud of the girls for all of their awards they won and for the professionalism they demonstrated.  I'll have pictures up soon of all the awards won.  I receive compliments almost daily on how friendly and happy my staff is.  We're very happy to have such a great staff in our office.  A big thank you goes out to Allison at the front desk for getting everyone scheduled properly and Jennifer in therapy making sure everyone is getting the care they need and Lindsey running such a tight ship as office manager making sure it all gets done properly. 

Acupuncture for Sinus Problems

With the weather changes comes sinus changes.  Over the past few weeks I've done a lot more of the Sinus Protocols for people with sinus pain, congestion, infections, and allergies.  I still am amazed at how well it works.  If you, or someone you know, is suffering from sinus problems and is tired of taking claritin, alavert, zyrtec, sudafed and the like, tell them about our treatment for those problems.  The treatment is quick, relatively painless, and highly effective in often 1 treatment.  The cost is only $40 and takes about 10 minutes. 

Dr. Helton voted Best Chiropractor in Lubbock!

We asked for your support and you did it. Dr. Helton would like to give a sincere "Thank You" to all who voted for him as the Best Chiropractor in Lubbock for 2010 for KCBD's Best of the West. This is especially great because 2010 marks his 10th year of practice in Lubbock and his 12th year of practice in west Texas. Dr. Helton would like to also thank his staff for making the past year great. Dr. Lorin Wolf has been valuable in assisting Dr. Helton with his patients and also doing a great job with his own patients. Lindsey May has been an invaluable member of the management team and pushing us to new levels. Allison has used her "ninja appointment" skills to keep us organized and running smoothly with record patient volumes and Jennifer Ray has been fantastic in assisting with Dr. Helton and keeping everything running smoothly in our therapy rooms. Again, thank you Lubbock and west Texas for bestowing this honor on us!

Ribbon Cutting for Helton Chiropractic Levelland

On Thursday, December 3, we had the Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors in our office for the Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting. We were very happy to have a large group of people come even though it was extremely cold and snowing. We had Dr. Helton, Mandy Helton, and Ella come from the Lubbock office. Dr. Marin had his parents, his grandfather, and Clarissa there to support him. Representatives from the newspaper, Chamber, radio station, and other businesses were there. Dr. Marin gave the visitors a tour of the office highlighted by the information about the decompression table, cold laser, atm2, and in house xray unit.

Bulging and Herniated Disc treatment in Lubbock

I've had several people comment lately on how they'd love to refer someone to see me for treatment but aren't sure if I could help them because "they have a bulging disc." One thing they don't realize is that I'm an expert in bulging and herniated discs. I am a Certified Decompression Therapy Practitioner through the Kennedy Decompression Technique. This training has allowed me to fully evaluate disc problems in the neck and low back and the proper course of treatment. Several other chiropractors in town have decompression tables but no other doctor has as much training as I do in using the tables effectively. The decompression tables allow me to take pressure off the discs and thus take pressure off of spinal nerves. The treatment is practically pain-free and highly effective. I frequently get referrals for treatment from medical doctors such as pain specialists, general practitioners, and even neurosurgeons. I get referrals from them because I am thorough in my evaluation and straightforward in my care. If I don't think I can help a person, I won't waste their time or money. If you or someone you know has a bulging disc, let me see if I can help them before they begin using dangerous drugs or undergo surgery.

Veteran's day appreciation at Helton Chiropractic

To show our appreciation to the men and women of our armed forces, Helton Chiropractic will be giving a free 5 minute massage to our veteran patients on Veterans' day, Wednesday November 11. A sincere thank you to all of our patients who've served their country and the families who've paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Over the years, I've had the honor to treat men and women who've fought in all branches of the military and served in World War II, The Korean War, The Vietnam War, The Gulf War, and the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. My father and uncle served in the US Army in the Vietnam War and my grandfather served in the US Army Air Corp in World War II.

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!

Laser Therapy now available in Levelland Clinic

We had another great week at Helton Chiropractic in Lubbock and Levelland. Our Vectra "cold" laser finally arrived for our Levelland office. Dr. Marin will be able to use the laser next week. It's extremely effective for soft tissue injuries. The laser has been used effectively for knee pain, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, heel spurs and even skin injuries. Dr. Marin has had specific training on different protocols for laser treatment of the body. Both offices are now fully equipped with Decompression Therapy, ATM motion rehab, Laser, and physiotherapies.

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.

Red Raider Road Race 2009

Helton Chiropractic of Lubbock and Levelland had a great showing at the 2009 Red Raider Road Race. The RRRR is held annually the morning of the Homecoming football game. This year our 14 runners braved cold wet weather and fog during the race. Team members were Dr. Helton, Mandy Helton, Dr. Wolf, Kaylee Wolf, Dr. Marin, Clarissa Calderon, Clinic Mgr. Lindsey May, Therapy Asst. Jennifer Ray, Criss Cleavinger, Deanna Helton (our oldest runner at 61), Honey Powers, Scout Powers (our youngest runner at 10), Marissa Bell and Gary Vivian. Mike Cleavinger once again helped with logistics and cheered us on along with Ella Helton for the second year in a row. This year marks the 3rd year Helton Chiropractic has sponsored a team to run in the race. We hope to have even more runners next year.

Meet our Staff

I'm very happy to introduce the staff here at Helton Chiropractic in Lubbock. It's taken me a while, but I've finally gotten a great staff in our office in dedicated positions. First off...our Office Manager Lindsey. Lindsey comes to our office with a background in health, fitness, and is a licensed insurance agent. This has made her a great asset for assisting patients with their financial and insurance questions.

Next is Allison. Allison is our Front Desk/Receptionist. She's extremely good at making sure our patients can get an appointment that works best for them and handle questions regarding sheduling and payment information.

Last but not least is our Therapy Assistant, Jennifer. Jennifer is a student and has quickly learned our complex and varied therapies. She's responsible for getting patients on the proper therapy and in their treatment room quickly and efficiently. Many of my patients have commented to me on how efficient and personable she is.

Without these 3 staff members, we would not be able to provide excellent care in a timely manner to our patients at Helton Chiropractic. It gives me great peace knowing that when a patient calls our office, enters for the first time, and returns for treatment, that they will be given the best service in Lubbock.

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.

Helton Chiropractic is on Facebook

We are happy to join Facebook. We hope to make quick updates on things pertinent to the office on our facebook page. Please become a "fan" of us and let your friends know they can read about us on the Facebook page!
