Call for afternoon appointments and locations. 09-2748-22242
I am the almost legendary Chiropractor who was living in Carcar City, and decided to relocate to Argao; a lovely community of approximately 70,000.
Presently I take afternoon appointments at SPRICE café across the street from Wilkris Appliance & Furniture dealer. (branches in Carcar and Argao and others.) See my hand drawn map and travel directions below.
Everything I do is natural. I do not use pharmaceuticals and am not qualified to do so. Sometimes I might recommend an anti-inflammatory medication. I always say, the Pharmacist is a good source of information for you. They know what is good, what MDs recommend, and what is selling. Don’t expect a drug to cure your spine. That has never happened.
Your spinal cord extends from your brain. It also has memory cells in it, which tend to hold a pattern that was useful after you got hurt, twisted, or in the problem you have now.
Get your spine moved into its correct position a few times with massage to help restore the normal pattern and allow the spine to remain positioned properly.
My experience has been, if you follow this general schedule idea you’ll get well naturally, normally, and you will tend to stay in proper spinal alignment if you have not ignored your spinal problems for many years.
I’m searching for a cottage that can become my home/office location. For now, remember everyone remains dressed. They lie on my massage/Chiropractic table. I use a technique that gets your body to tell me what it needs. I almost never need X-ray photos. I’ve practiced this way since 1977, saw about 18 patients daily. It comes to a lot of visits. More about that here>
I combine Swedish/Classic Massage through your clothing and as I feel muscles relax, I can gently adjust the spine by hand, as has been done and expanded since the late 1890s. No one gets injured. (Injuries are extremely rare for most American trained Chiopractors.)
From age 27 to 50 I saw approximately 4,680 patient visits per year spanning 23 years; that comes to 107,640 visits. No one ever said I caused an injury. Chiropractors who adjust very hard should learn to use classic massage, and adjust vertebra WHILE they are massaging. Using pillows under the patient to return the spine to its natural healthy shape, the patient can relax. There is no need for drop piece tables. The table I have is built to accommodate various body shapes including the woman who is a bit “top heavy.” Everyone can rest comfortably.
There is no licensing for Chiropractic in The Philippines but just to be extra sure that I might not violate a law, patients remain dressed and I call myself a manual back-pain therapist. The qualifications page displays my degrees and license.
Leave money only if you think I did a good job. Suggested DONATION is P500 per visit as cash. No bank cards or QR codes. Call, visit, tell me about your health history and present pains, let me look at you standing to make notes on my chart. Your body stance tells a story.
Muscles that are not working at full potential for normal motion are pointing to the joints to which they attach. Thus, the “postural analysis” is an excellent first diagnostic tool. We do a few muscle tests, the training chiropractors receive teaches all the parts of each bone. We know what bone and surrounding flesh we are touching. We know what it should feel like and what is not quite normal tells us more about its misalignment direction. A gentle nudge to retore its position is all we need.
I don’t speak for all chiropractors. I visualize your spine as I work on it. Drawing lines on x-rays can lead to an inaccurate diagnosis and an improper attempt at adjusting the spine.
I was “a technique freak”. In college I looked in at many clubs took many seminars, and considered many different techniques. What I wanted was the skill to care for patients in a low technology environment, in the dark, on a floor or the beach, or on a forest log, a picnic table, or on a sailboat. I’ve helped in many places, nearly anywhere. Contrary to various ideas patients have, the older diagnosis techniques work beautifully.
Some new patients assume that what they experienced somewhere in the US is the ONLY way to treat a spine. There are more than 200 different seminar teachers and they each teach their own alternatives. The more complicated they can make it, the more they involve x-rays and various physical therapies, the more they can justify a higher charge per visit.
My advice is to experience 5 – visits in my little place spanning a month or two, and then tell me your opinion of my work compared to the high-tech doctors you visited in the US. I expect most of my visitors will be very happy to have my help and they can honestly say, “the donation is more than fair, and I recommend him in social media.”
