Dr. John Phelts provides effective treatments for people who have conditions of the neck, back, shoulders, rotator cuff, wrists, carpal tunnel, knees, feet, and ankles.  Patients are amazed at how quickly they feel batter. 

You might ask, "How does Dr. Phelts' patients get better so quickly and stay better?  ".  Let's explain this by using an example.  Let's say that you sprained your ankle joint.  .Dr. Phelts realizes that a sprained ankle involves more than just the ligaments or muscles that were sprained/strained.  A joint is made up of two bones. Ligaments and muscles attach to the bones.  In general, the ligaments prevent the joint from dislocating and the muscles move the bones of the joints in a stable fashion.  It's not enough to exercise the muscles of the joint.  The alignment of the bones of the joint must also be addressed.  Muscles work better and without discomfort when the bones are properly aligned.  Ligaments are under less stress and produce less pain when the bones are aligned well. Nerves feed and instruct muscles, so the nerves must also be addressed. Pressure or inflammation on a nerve can have a negative affect on the muscle that it is supplying.  So, when the ligaments, bones, muscles, and nerves are addressed, you feel better sooner and you heal quickly.

He also  employs novel treatments for patients who have allergies, digestion issues, hormonal imbalances, and general fatigue, etc.  One such technique is the Disc Pump for patients with herniated or bulging discs.

Genetic Analysis
Your genetic profile is analyzed to see which processes your body is good at performing and which processes may need support.  For example, the test results can determine if your body efficiently produces Diamine Oxidase, which is an enzyme that breaks down histamine.  Low diamine oxidase can allow for uncontrolled histamine levels and leave your body primed for allergic reactions.  Recommendation would be made to address, such a situation.
