Meet Dr. Derkach
We believe our patients deserve the best scientifically based, safe and effective equipment and procedures. We therefore provide a gentle and safe approach with the use of the Activator Method of spinal adjustive care. This method allows us to treat with precision and accuracy using a method of analysis and a hand-held instrument. There is no twisting or cracking often associated with chiropractic care which can result in pain or injury. Dr. Derkach is proficiency rated with Activator Methods International.
Many of our patients have failed to improve with medications or surgery or wish to avoid the potential risks and side effects which often come with these treatments. We realize however that some patients require treatment or procedures in addition to chiropractic care. In these cases referral to other health care providers including medical physicians will be made as necessary. Diagnostic studies such as X-ray and MRIs will be obtained only when felt medically necessary.
