Todd Bedell, D.C.
Chiropractor |
Dr. Bedell graduated magna cum laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic West in June of 2000. He is board certified in chiropractic and specializes in mobilizing spinal facet joints.
Dr. Bedell is an expert at a chiropractic spinal manipulation technique called Palmer Diversified. The Palmer technique is one of the best methods to adjust areas in the spine that aren't moving properly. Over the past 19 years, Dr. Bedell has literally performed over 1.2 million spinal adjustments.
Dr. Bedell has found that most people immediately feel better after just 1 or 2 adjustments, but the pain can return a few days or a few weeks later. This happens because the core muscles are still weak and the spine pulls out of alignment again. The science says in some cases the initial healing process can take up to 12 spinal adjustments over 6 weeks. However, the ultimate goal is spinal stabilization which can take up to 6 months or longer depending on patient compliance.
Patients also learn how to maintain their spinal alignment with regular stretches and postural exercises. A study published in the medical journal Spine found that patients who followed a maintenance plan that consisted of getting adjusted every 2 weeks, experienced ongoing pain free movement. Science has also found that when you combine spinal adjustments with core strengthening exercises, this is the most effective strategy to keep your spine in alignment and moving properly.
