Health Specialties

No Cracks, Pops, or Excuses Chiropractic

Alan 2_reducedDr. Trites has been practicing in Kansas for the past decade and helps people to relieve pain and suffering using a bio-Systems Integration System; a low-force biofeedback technique that helps find the true cause of specific conditions and helps to provide a “no excuse” practice.

In order to relive pain and suffering, Dr. Trites examines more than just the local spot of discomfort to decide if that spot needs to be reduced for neurological inhibition or irritation, to activate muscles for increased performance, or to help old injuries respond or even remote tissues because many tissues are connected to more than just one system in the body. In other words, if you can’t find it how can you fix it?

Dr. Trites’ combination of chiropractic and medical knowledge creates a well-rounded doctor who works toward helping his patients achieve an optimum level of health. To assure his patients are getting the most recent and sound advice he has completed his post-graduate certification through the American Board of Chiropractic Internists.

Dr. Trites has published several other works and lectures to doctors about what he has learned and researched, has a podcast for non-doctors to follow on how to be empowered and take responsibility for your health.

From the concept of Health Specialties our motto has been “No Pop, No Crack, No Excuses.” While it isn’t as easy to understand what this means it’s how I follow my practice guidelines. Let me explain.

In traditional chiropractic patients are positioned on an examination table and a joint is manipulated to where the individual hears a “pop” or “crack.” While there is nothing wrong or unsafe about this practice, it’s not how I saw how to treat a patient.

We are individuals. We have different ways in which we get hurt, sick and fatigued, we eat differently, think differently, live differently, have different genetics so this relatively archaic approach, while effective at times, was not how I choose to practice. There are other methods to treat that I feel are less painful, more adequate, and more functional and that is precisely how I choose to practice.

It’s actually much the opposite. The majority of times we are hurt, sick and fatigued is because of internal disorders and a joint that no requires a typical chiropractic adjustment. My question in my physician training infancy was “how many adjustments will it take to override these internal disorders?” Typically, it’s 30-50 adjustments but not always.

That doesn’t mean we should ignore a rolled ankle and assume it’s internal, but for the majority of us we have no idea why we feel the way we do. While structural adjustments denote function and affect chemistry in this day and age who has that kind of time, money and of course patience? Why not take it one step further and rule in or out internal disorders so that patient isn’t going from doctor to doctor, alternative or medical, without answers or results?

I have hundreds of patients who have been to other physicians and have no answer for their ailments? Why? Perhaps they don’t have enough time, training, it is not their specialty, or they are convinced there is really nothing wrong with their patient that warrants further investigation.

In fact, the no excuses portion of my motto is just that. To not quit, to not give into the easy out that there is not an answer, and outcome or the ability to manage. Have I been frustrated with a patient or outcome, sure I have. But I have not quit or given excuses as to why they may not be improving.

This is why I choose to treat through functional medicine where we can test, treat, and tweak the management of each case, individually for each patient I have the pleasure of treating.
