Dobrich Chiropractic & Wellness

What makes you different from other "nutritionists" or "health professionals" in Harrisburg?
We use scientific, objective testing in our analysis and recommendations and we see objective results. Some of the diagnostic testing we use are blood testing, toxic and elemental hair testing, food allergy testing and more. We get our great results because we test and we use objective testing methods.

How long will it take before I start to see improvement in my health problems?
Understand that we don't have a cure for your problem whether it is a rash, MS, diabetes or cancer. Our goal is to get you healthier. Progress is the key and there should be some definite, objective improvement within about 2 months if what we are doing and recommend is going to work. Do you have 2 months? If you can give us 2 months and you really work and do what is needed, it is highly unusual that progress/improvement is not seen. Then the goal is to keep you improving on a consistent basis. Sometimes a 2-3% improvement in 2 months could the best that we can hope for but if you continue to improve 2-3% every 2 months for the next 2-3 years, where will you be?

What tests are required?
Every person is different. So it really depends on your particular case.

How long does it take to get the test results back?
If you do the testing through our office, it usually takes no more than two weeks to get all of the test results back and your personalized detailed report completed!

Can I get my blood work done through my other doctor?
Of course! You may get your blood work done through another doctor. However, it would be prudent for you to check your pricing thoroughly. Most patients find the price will usually be less if you get it through our office. Remember, if you decide to go through your insurance company for reimbursement, the test findings will go on your permanent record and will affect future premiums and ratings.

Is chiropractic care safe?
Absolutely. Compared to other medical treatments, which include medication and surgery, chiropractic is by far the safest. It is estimated that 140,000 people in the USA die each year from drug-related reactions and nearly 100,000 people die as result of medical errors. Insurance companies who evaluate the risks of all professions, and charge a premium based on the risk the profession poses, rate chiropractors by far as the lowest insurance premium of all health care providers. Even though thousands of chiropractic adjustments are made each year, only a few complaints are registered

What is a subluxation?
A Subluxation is an interference of the nervous system which affects how the brain communicates with the rest of the body. Subluxations are caused by physical, emotional, and chemical stresses.  The body’s natural ability to heal itself is greatly improved when subluxations are corrected with Chiropractic Adjustments.

What type of Adjusting Techniques does Dr. Dobrich use?

Dr. Dobrich not only does traditional chiropractic adjustments using a Diversified Technique, she also uses a specialized technique called Torque Release Technique for those who prefer a "no pop" adjustment.

Does the adjustment hurt?
Most chiropractic adjustments are not only virtually painless, they actually feel great! If a subluxation has been present for a long time, occasionally soreness will occur after an adjustment. Using ice over the sore area for about 15 minutes usually gives relief.

Will repeated chiropractic adjustment lead to arthritis?
There is no evidence to suggest that manipulation of the spine or other chiropractic care can lead to arthritis. On the contrary, chiropractors often care for people with arthritis by maintaining joint health. Motion is life when it comes to joint health.

Is there a minimum or maximum age for a person to receive chiropractic care?
There is no age excluded from chiropractic care. Even babies can have subluxations, due to the rigors of birth. In Denmark, for example, Chiropractic Doctors are part of the birthing team. Children's subluxations should be adjusted early, as they interfere with nerves that control developing muscles and organs. Uncorrected subluxations in babies and children can lead to conditions chronic ear infections, colic, childhood asthma, reflux, etc.

Can chiropractors refer patients to other specialists?
Chiropractors are part of a network of health-care professionals. Like other doctors, they will make referrals for patients when necessary. Chiropractors are trained to recognize risk factors and signs of disease that are outside their scope of treatments and they will not hesitate to make a referral when it's in a patient's best interest.
