WELCOME!
You've probably seen the newspaper ads that "hype" Spinal Decompression Therapy asking you to call some unknown doctor's office in order to receive a free report in the mail. We do not believe anyone should have to do that!
Our website will give you the complete facts about Spinal Decompression Therapy including published studies and actual case studies that support its effectiveness.
And we will also tell you the approximate treatment cost. We do that so you will be better able to make an informed decision about what you should do for your condition and because our fees are a fraction of what some other clinics charge.
If you need any additional information, please call our office at 743-2364 and ask to speak to Doctor Moellendorf about spinal decompression.
That's right, we'll talk to you personally in order to help you make the right decision.
THANKS FOR
VISITING!

After a significant amount of research, Moellendorf Chiropractic Office, Ltd. chose the Triton ® DTS system manufactured by the Chattanooga Group, the premier manufacturer of physical medicine equipment. More importantly, we have the brand new computerized head which is the most sophisticated and technologically advanced unit in the world.
In fact, the new Triton® head is so revolutionary that it won the Australian Design Award in the "Medical and Scientific" category. It is also the system that the University of Texas purchased for the treatment of its world-class athletes. We also selected the Triton® DTS systems due to their ability to treat discs in both the neck and the low back. In regard to clinical skills, Dr. Moellendorf has completed the Kennedy Decompression Technique course work and passed the qualifying examination to achieve the status of "Certified Practitioner" in spinal decompression therapy. |
