Frequently Asked Questions
Questions:
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts based upon the understanding that good health depends, in part, upon a normally functioning nervous system (especially the spine, and the nerves extending from the spine to all parts of the body). "Chiropractic" comes from the Greek word chiropraktikos, meaning "effective treatment by hand." Chiropractic stresses the idea that the cause of many disease processes begins with the body's inability to adapt to its environment. It looks to address these diseases not by the use of drugs and chemicals, but by locating and adjusting a musculoskeletal area of the body which is functioning improperly.
What conditions benefit from chiropractic care?
Although chiropractic is used most frequently to relieve low back pain, studies have found it to be effective for a variety of conditions, such as migraine headaches, neck and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and infantile colic.
Does Chiropractic hurt?
Under normal circumstances, adjustments don't hurt. The patient may experience a minor amount of discomfort during the adjustment which lasts only seconds.
Is Chiropractic safe?
Chiropractic adjustments or manipulations are extremely safe. The risk factor is estimated to be in excess of one million to one.
What kind of education and training do doctors of chiropractic have?
Chiropractors receive an education that emphasizes neuromuscular diagnosis and treatment. Preparation for the practice of chiropractic is concentrated on three areas of learning; basic training in the biological and health sciences (anatomy, physiology, histology, biochemistry, clinical and radiological diagnosis); specialized training in the chiropractic discipline (theoretical studies, practice, diagnosis and applications); and extensive clinical training.
Have any studies been published showing what chiropractic is effective for?
Several studies have documented the effectiveness of chiropractic in relieving back pain. More recent studies have shown chiropractic to be effective in treating infantile colic and migraine headaches.
What can I expect on my first visit?
The first thing a chiropractor will do is ask you about the health complaints about which you are chiefly concerned. The DC will also ask about your family history, dietary habits, other care you may have had (chiropractic, osteopathic, medical, etc.), your job, and other questions designed to help determine the nature of your illness and the best way to go about treating the problem.
A physical examination will be performed in accordance with your DC's clinical judgement, which may include x-rays, laboratory analysis and other diagnostic procedures. In addition, a careful spinal examination and analysis will be performed to detect any structural abnormalities which may be affecting or causing your condition. All of these elements are important components of your total health profile, and vital to the doctor of chiropractic in evaluating your problem.
What other services do you offer besides chiropractic?
Our office offers a variety of alternative health treatments, including IDD Intervertebral Differential Dynamic Therapy, which includes a proprietary disc decompression program and ancillary physio-therapeutics.
We also offer a full range of physical therapys, acupressure, homeopathic formulas, herbal medicine, Chinese medicine and nutritional consulting.

How does IDD Therapy work, and is it painful?
No, in fact most patients sleep, while listening to their favorite CD with headphones.
The best way to understand it, is to come in for the reduced fee consultation.
However "my personal story" will educate you to this incredible protocol.

How did IDD help you? Dr. Bob?
Dr. Bobs’ personal story!!
Let me tell you a little bit about the philosophy, the treatment, my personal story, and the financial. And then if you like we will schedule you for a reduced fee consultation and history. My name is Dr. Bob Waterstone, and I am the owner of A Aachen Back and IDD™ Internal Disc Decompression therapy.
I’ve been a practicing Board Eligible Chiropractic Orthopedist. A Kinesiologist, Nutritionist, and studied Acupunture in China 15 years ago. I have been in the same location for over 21 years. Married to Carol, and have 2 wonderful children Josh & Andrea both at the Univeristy of Ga.
I became a DC because Chiropractic helped me when nothing else could, until even that did not help me. And then I discovered IDD™!
I have suffered for over forty years with severe neck and low back disc degeneration, herniated disc, and sciatica. I have been to orthopedists, neurologist, internist, medical doctors, Chiropractors, & massage therapists. But I always treated all of my doctors the same, like a pain pill. In other words "Doc", I have a pain, I would like something for the pain. Whether it's a shot of cortisone, muscle relaxers, pain pill, chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, massage, shot of steroid, shot of whiskey! And when the pain goes away, or lessens, I must be healthy, I want a divorce.
And we treat ourselves like that don't we? When we are young we think we are indestructible! But every year that goes by, we keep going through the aging & degeneration process, and the little things can become the straw that breaks the camels back! Sometimes rolling over in bed, picking up a shoelace, coughing or sneezing! And every year that goes by we keep losing the water content in our body and skin and disc. That is why we get wrinkles. That is why our parents grew shorter when they grew older, and our grandparents grew shorter. The disks, which are the shock absorbers between the bones start to dry out and small cracks may form that allow the middle of the disk, called the nuclease to seep out through the cracks. That is called bulging disc, slipped disk, degenerative disc, herniated disc, and ruptured disk. And you don't necessarily have to have any pain, because only 10 percent of the nerves are the pain nerves (sensorial). The other 90 percent are function nerves (autonomic). There are a multitude of people walking around with DJD disc degeneration, slipped disc, bulging disc, herniated discs, that have no pain or symptoms, until the time that they do something innoculous, like picking up a feather, and then.."I've fallen, and I can't get up" That's what happened to me!
26 years ago I herniated a disc playing racquetball picking up the ball, and a wonderful Doctor of Chiropractic got me walking again without surgery. I then decided to make that my profession, as the medical field did not have a permanent answer to me, except surgery, epidurals, or pain pills.
But the disc degeneration kept going on.
Well fifteen years ago I was simply bending over and I re-herniated the disc in my low back and could not walk. I had sciatica going down both legs to the heels. Nothing was helping me. Not even my own profession!
That is when I discovered decompression therapy. I went to a clinic and paid cash for a series of treatments that helped me get well without surgery. I was so impressed, that I bought an early form of decompression called VAX-D. And was actually trained by the inventor of Decompression Therapy! He was an MD instrumental in the invention of the Cardiac defibrillator.
And then I had a life-changing event happen over 2 years ago! I was involved in a major auto accident, almost killed, and suffered four herniated discs. I could not walk, and they had to install an elevator chair in my home to get me up and down the stairs. That’s when I discovered IDD™ therapy. “Internal Disc Decompression” It is the state of the art, non-invasive, next generation, computer controlled answer to many patients suffering from disc degeneration,herniated disc, slipped disc, sciatica, hip and back pain without surgery. I became relatively pain-free again, without surgery, and I bought this wonderful therapy, and put it in my clinic to help other patients. And it has been nothing short of miraculous!!!!
This procedure has an incredible success rate nationwide. Not only getting to the pain, but resolving the problem too. The way it works is that when you are standing you have around 200 mm Hg pressure pressure on the disk. When you are sitting you have around 150 mm Hg of pressure on the disk. When you are lying down, you have around 100 mm Hg pressure on the disk. With a good chiropractic adjustment, traction in or out of the hospital, with the best inversion therapy hanging upside-down, the best you can do is to reduce the disk pressure to about 25 mm Hg pressure, which may relieve some symptoms temporarily.
This wonderful therapy, which is the state of the art protocol, reduces the disk pressure to a minus 150 mm Hg pressure over ten - fifteen treatments ranging from two-three weeks to three months. This negative pressure helps re-imbibe the disc, like a flattened marshmellow becoming more whole again, allowing blood, water, nutrients, oxygen back into the disk, rehydrating the disk, and in many cases allowing the protruding portions of the nucleus, the middle of the disk to be reabsorbed back towards the middle. And in up to 86 percent of patients nationwide, they get a permanent resolution to not only their pain, but also their problem. Post MRIs have actually showed an increase in disc height in many patients, in not only the bad discs but the good ones also!!
And it is our goal to be able to provide this treatment regardless of financial ability to pay. So we do some special things in our office for patients. We use a budget system that allows a person to have the complete workup including x-rays and exams, treatments, and follow-ups over the next one to two years, and make payments as little as $60- $90-$150 a month, so you can afford to have the care. With our budget system, and you may pay it off at any time with no prepayment penalty. As long as you have fair to good credit, you will be approved for our budget system. And we also have bookeeping cash discounts.
If you have insurance? My staff will be glad to get some information from you, so that when you come in for your consultation, we will let you know what your reimbursement should be. But if insurance does not pay, or you do not have insurance, we will still accept you from our budget system so you can afford this wonderful procedure. No credit, but still have insurance or no insurance? Call me personally for a free telephone consultation. I speak with all new patients to try to help you.
The in office consultation is normally $150, and I need a good hour with you, but there will be a reduced charge for you for the consultation if you have been referred in by a patient or our advertisement or have talked with me. At that time we. will take a through history and consultation. You will see the therapy unit, watch a video that will teach you exactly how the procedure works, and then after your consultation, if we feel that you are a candidate, & you would like to have the procedure you'll have your exam and weight bearing films taken. Then as long as there is no pathology, in other words no tumors, fractures, or cancers, ect. then we may possibly start you on the same day to get you on the road to health. And many patients feel a dramatic quality of life change and relief immediately after their first few treatments.
Our consultation times are limited, as we have been inundated with calls. Your initial visit will take approximately 1 1/2 to two 1/2 hours. Depending on if we give you your first session that day.
Subsequent visits will be approximately 30-45 minutes each.
Call me personally for more information at my home (770)425-2105, or my cell (678)923-9593 or at my office (770)424-7777. I accept all calls for information, as this has changed my life, and I would like to help you have a better quality of life for yourself.

Is it true that Back Surgery can be worse than no surgery????

Are you considering surgery for your back pain? Before you do, consider this: Research shows that many patients who undergo surgery for lower back pain often have subsequent surgeries for the same condition due to the failure of the initial procedure, which can contribute to further patient disability. Researchers sought to examine whether such patients had poorer general health than those with no history of spine surgery.
The study examined more than 18,000 patients with back pain enrolled at first visit in the National Spine Network (NSN) database from January 1998 through April 2000. Of those patients, 3,632 had a history of low back surgery. Data were derived from a first-visit questionnaire and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), both of which were completed by all patients when first evaluated for back pain.
Results showed that patients with a history of lumbar spine surgery fared significantly worse on areas such as physical functioning, general health and mental health compared to those patients with no prior history of spine surgery. "Previous back surgery is associated with significantly worse general health status than those without surgery among patients with low back pain..." the researchers wrote, further noting that "active rehabilitation intervention strategies designed to improve physical and mental well-being should be promoted, as they could have an impact on enhancing positive health outcomes."
If you suffer from low back pain -- or any kind of pain, for that matter -- think twice before considering surgery. Instead, consult your doctor of chiropractic for a treatment plan that will not only help reduce your pain but preserve your general health for the long term. And our new innovative IDD Therapy can give a permanent resolution to not only pain but the problem in over 86% of patients nationwide!!!
