Times Newspaper Wednesday, April 7, 1999 Page 15 New chiropractor helps By Patricia Knoell Time Reporter .' Dr. Mitchell L. Jephson, DC, opened the doors to his new Center Cen-ter Street Chiropractic clinic a little over two weeks ago and clients cli-ents are already learning to appreciate ap-preciate his individualized approach. ap-proach. "I know some chiropractors are really into numbers and there's nothing wrong with that approach," ap-proach," Jephson said. "But I like more of a one-on-one approach. 1 like to spend a extra time with each person and talk a little. So really, Tm just looking for enough clients to keep me going." It shouldn't be hard for Jephson to make that wish a reality. re-ality. Fresh out of Chiropractic college, col-lege, Jephson believes in thoroughly thor-oughly examining each patient's individual needs and setting up the program that will best suit that person's needs. Toward that -r end, Jephson uses a combination of therapies involving manipulation, manipula-tion, physical therapy and massage mas-sage therapy. He also plans to begin using nutritional advise as soon as he can get the funds to begin that program. "Each person is different," he said. "I try to do whatever will make a person feel better." With his willingness to go beyond be-yond just manipulative work, Jephson can treat a wide variety of problems relating to the spine and can have patients seeing results re-sults in sometimes surprisingly short times. In order to offer a variety of treatments, the equipment in Jephson's office goes far beyond the usual chiropractic tables. In one corner, there is the intersegmental in-tersegmental traction table a mechanized table that, with help from a moist heating pad, gives some wonderful massage action as the table itself rolls under . your back all the way from your neck to your lower back. There is also an electrical muscle stimulation machine that helps decease pain in specific areas and a hand-held massage machine. "The intersegmental machine really helps relax the muscles," Jephson said. "If someone comes in here that's just really tight, we can put them on that and relax their muscles a little before we start the manipulative therapy. vThe electrical muscle stimulation stimu-lation machine hits the muscles deeper than is normal (for regular regu-lar muscle massage) and can reduce re-duce pain either for short term or for the long haul, depending on the problem." '." . , Chiropractic work is a i drugless, knifeless way to deal J ;i with many of the spinal problems 1 that can cause so many of the aches and pains that today's busy lifestyles cause". ' "Often times, a pain in the el- bow, leg, wrist, etc., can come v from what we call subluxations ,. in the spine," Jephson explained. "A subluxation is a niisalignment of the vertebrate that can cause a nerve to get pressed and that nerve can be one that goes to almost al-most any part of the body.

Many people tend to shy away from chiropractic treatment because be-cause they fear the possible long-term long-term commitment to almost daily treatments. But it doesn't have to be that way. "A lot of people hesitate coming com-ing to a chiropractor because they think that they'll be coming in three times a week for the rest of their lives," he said. That isn't the case at all. Different people have different needs. "My goal is to get a person feeling feel-ing better as soon as possible, then just do maintenance care," he added. Til do as many treatments treat-ments as they need to get them feeling better, then cut It down to once or twice a month or however much the patient feels he or she needs." . ' Jephson got interested in chiropractic chi-ropractic work when he had firsthand first-hand experience with what it could do when he was a sophomore sopho-more in high school. "I was an athlete in school," he recalled."And during my sophomore sopho-more year, I had a huge growth spurt that threw my back out of alignment. I was in almost constant con-stant pain and my dad finally took me to a chiropractor down in Idaho Falls. He straightened ; out my pelvis and pretty soon, the pain was gone."
