Dr. Wagreich's work involves evaluation and treatment of muscle, joint, disc, and nerve injuries. Treatments help to heal the cause of headaches, pain in the TMJ/facial area, back, neck, arms, and legs. Her treatments combine the use of physiotherapy, massage, stretching, and strengthening exercises along with spinal manipulation. Several spinal adjusting techniques are used based upon the patient's preference from very gentle work to the more traditional techniques. One of the more gentle spinal manipulative techniques used entails using an activator device.
Proper ergonomics of a person's work place and home are taught. Proper posture and body position is taught for sitting and sleeping as well as doing activities of daily living. Individual exercise programs are designed for strengthening the area of concern and preventing future problems.
