WESTLAKE, Ohio, May 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chiropractor Dr. Michael Darr of Westlake is celebrating more than 30 years of successful practice at Advanced Spinal Rehab & Wellness Center. According to Dr. Darr, he is proud to celebrate three decades of helping patients enjoy a higher quality of life through chiropractic, physical therapy and the other non-invasive methods of care provided at his Center.
Westlake chiropractor Dr. Darr is a third-generation chiropractor, a profession he shares with his grandfather, father, two uncles and his older and younger brothers. And, he said, it's a profession he chose when he came to the realization in a high school physiology class about the important role of the nervous system in controlling all functions of the body.
In 2004, Dr. Darr won the Cleveland Plain Dealer's "Top of Consciousness Survey" as the most popular chiropractor in the Cleveland metropolitan area for his Westlake chiropractic care. Dr. Darr graduated cum laude in 1981 from Logan Chiropractic College in St. Louis with a Bachelor of Science degree in human biology and a doctorate degree in chiropractic.
In 1994, he became certified in electromyography and clinical neurophysiology from the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and in 2011 became a certified kinesio taping practitioner.
"Over the past 30 plus years, it has been my honor and privilege to help so many people live healthier, happier, pain-free lives through chiropractic treatments," Dr. Darr said. "Over the years I have collected about 20 binders packed with testimonials from patients who praise the relief they have discovered through the many services we provide." Patient testimonies are also on the website under "Success Stories."
He added that the practice's non-invasive approach to pain relief is based on the principle that the spine and nervous system affect the functioning of all other systems in the body and that when the spine is healthy and in proper alignment, the rest of the body is healthy.
"Through chiropractic, physical therapy and other services, we have helped relieve many chronic conditions including back pain, headaches, arthritis and fatigue," said the chiropractor.
The Center provides spinal manipulation and adjustments to bring the spine back into alignment, reduce pressure on nerve endings, and improve joint mobility. These services are complemented by the center's advanced, state-of-the-art spinal decompression therapy using the Triton 5000 Decompression unit.
The Center also offers accident injury rehabilitation and physical therapy, as well as therapeutic massage, corrective exercises taught to patients to practice at home, nutritional counseling on supplements and healthy food choices to enhance health, spinal and postural screenings conducted at various locations and events in the community and physiotherapy techniques to enhance chiropractic adjustment, such as ultrasound, interferential electrical muscle stimulation, moist heat therapy and work hardening rehabilitation.
Advanced Spinal Rehabilitation & Wellness Center of Westlake, Ohio, offers comprehensive chiropractic services for patients suffering back pain, fatigue, arthritis, fatigue, headaches and other conditions.
