Treatment Philosophy

Dr. Vancho performs only the examination and x-ray procedures that are essential to the diagnosis of your condition.

He treats each patient according to their individual needs, utilizing heat, massage therapy and manual chiropractic adjustments.

If your condition does not show improvement within a few visits, you will be re-examined and Dr. Vancho will either modify his approach or discuss alternative treatment plans. In addition, he will help you prevent a reoccurrence of your problem.

If you are sick and tired of seeing your chiropractor for weeks or even months, It is time to get another opinion. Dr. Vancho does not offer pre-packaged or extended treatment programs. He does not, and will not provide any services that are not based on accepted chiropractic and medical research.

Chiropractic Treatment Methods

My treatments are traditional manual adjustments as taught at the Palmer College and diversified mobilization of the spine and the extremities. Treatment also includes moist heat packs, mechanical massage and a variety of soft tissue techniques.
