San Leandro Chiriopractor and Yelp 5 Stars Reviews Filtering System

by

San Leandro Chiropractor

San Leandro Chiropractor have been receiving numerous phone calls from Yelp’s rep to advertise on their platform. At the time when phone calls started  I had over 50 – 5 stars reviews and about 20 filtered  5 stars reviews. My San Leandro Chiropractor practice is based on providing quality service to those who live or work within 5 to 10 miles radius. I did not have any desire to advertise on a digital platform that was performing well Free of Charge for many years. Of course getting 70 – 5 stars reviews takes years to acquire. Building great digital reputation for San Leandro Chiropractor takes a lot of time and effort. Quality of care creates many happy clients walking outside your door. Back in days the most powerful means of advertising was word of mouth. Now it is just a small fraction of a 21st century small business model. Google local places, Yelp, Instagram, YouTube, Blog post like this one are all parts of a big engine that move San Leandro Chiropractor forward.

Managing and understanding what drives Yelp reviews has become an important tactic for many local marketing professionals. It is important for every brand’s local marketing strategy. The majority of businesses stand to gain some level of benefit by engaging with Yelpers, even if the review is… less than perfect, or if the best reviews are regulated by Yelp’s automatic filter. While some businesses have gone as far as filing class-action lawsuits against Yelp, alleging that their filter is set up as a way to extort businesses into advertising, so far none of the lawsuits have succeeded; and one judge after another has dismissed a variety of allegations of a similar style. Our San Leandro Chiropractor practice is not planning to file anything and wasting time with Yelp. Instead we simply use our own digital platform like this blog and Google search results in order to show up on a first page of Google search results. Besides being a chiropractor with 18 years of experience I know a thing or two about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). If you read this post, feel free to share it with other small business owners.

As of today Yelp filtered over 25 reviews in the past two weeks and now our San Leandro Chiropractor Yelp Page at 22 – 5 star reviews and 46 – 5 stars filtered reviews.  Few reviews just disappeared completely. Moving forward in 2019 we are planning to focus on San Leandro Chiropractor Google Local places our YouTube channel and maybe occasionally on Instagram.   We will continue to focus on providing the best chiropractic service to our current and future patients in 2019 and forward.  Happy New Year – exercise, rest, eat clean and keep your spine aligned with your local chiropractors. Oh yes, do not forget to write a review if you are happy with your San Leandro Chiropractor or any other local chiropractor.

Cold Laser Therapy is at San Leandro Chiropractic Clinic

cold laser therapyCold Laser Therapy is at San Leandro Chiropractic Clinic

Cold Laser Therapy is the newest FDA approved device for healing. With over 3000 published medical articles, it is one of the most studied medical devices on the market; it is proven effective for many conditions as well as being safe without side effects.

Cold Laser Therapy light is produced by the unit and then it is super-pulsed to keep it from burning the patient. As the light enters the injured cell it causes something called photo-bio-stimulation (photo = light, bio = biological response and stimulation = stimulation of the cell).

The state of the art, class IV, infrared, Cold Laser Therapy Machine by Aspen is a recent addition of San Leandro Chiropractic Center in San Leandro, CA. It is replacing our older Class III cold laser Erchonia PL 5000.

Safe & Non-Invasive

Safe and non-invasive

Safe and non-invasive

Cold Laser Therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment that increases the local immune system, increases blood and lymph circulation, decreases cell damage, and causes the release of different substances, such as ATP (energy used by the cell), endorphins, TNF a, IL-1ß, COX-2, PGE2 (pain chemicals), and more. In short, Laser Therapy reduces inflammation, decreases pain, and accelerates injured or inflamed tissue healing. If done correctly, laser therapy can initiate the body’s own healing processes and should therefore primarily be viewed as an aid to self-healing.

Most Advanced Laser on the Market

Our new Aspen Cold Laser Therapy provide a whole new avenue of pain relief, improving circulatory problems, lymphatic system drainage, sinus congestion and arthritic joints. Lasers can range in price from several hundred dollars to over $20,000 dollars depending upon the penetration, speed of healing and other factors. We chose the Aspen Laser because of the science behind it as well as being the most advanced laser on the market. And yes, we spent quite a bit… but the results that our patients are going to get will be fantastic.  We are already successfully treating conditions such as whiplash, neck pain, lower back pain, headaches, shoulder impingement and bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis). patelofemoral pain, jumpers knee, ankle sprains, and plantarfascitis.

Laser is the latest technology for patient care in the United States. By no means is it “experimental” therapy as Laser has proven itself successfully in Europe for over 30 years. This machine is safe, has no side effects, reduces pain and inflammation and helps people recover quicker from injuries and surgery. The following are frequently asked questions including a list of the many conditions or ailments the laser can help with.

What is Laser Therapy?

Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions. Laser emits a visible coherent light that stimulates the body’s ability to produce ATP, which allows a natural healing of the body in decreased time. Through this process pain and inflammation decrease, the natural range of motion of the joints return and optimal function of cellular physiology occurs on a more permanent basis.

How does it Work?

Light energy enters damaged cells and stimulates their inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the cells. Once the cells recover, the process is complete. Every living cell in a human body that makes up muscles, organs, bone, nerve cell and other tissues, functions at a specific frequency, or environment that it knows as its “normal”. Cells may change its frequency when exposed to emotional and physical stresses, chemical toxins, surgeries and even injuries. During this process cells stop send messages to neighboring cells and communication between brain and cells being interrupted. Erchonia is the only cold laser,  that will help to activate the communication between the brain and the damaged cells. Thus, flawless performance can be achieved.

What to Expect During a Laser Therapy Treatment Session?

For most people, laser therapy is quite passive. Some patients have reported a slight tingling or tapping in a nerve or along a nerve pathway. Some have noted that they are able to sense a slight feeling of warmth. But for the most part, the treatment, which may last from 10 minutes, is not noticed at all. Following (and even during) a laser therapy session, approximately 75-80% of patients being treated can notice an immediate improvement in their condition. This will depend primarily on the type of condition and the length of time the condition has been present. Generally, the more chronic or severe the condition, the longer it takes to respond. The majority of conditions treated will take anywhere from 4-15 treatments. Once again, the number of treatments depends upon the severity of the condition and its duration. There are some conditions that will never completely resolve but can be helped and maintained with laser therapy. If your condition does not change immediately, it may take 3-4 sessions before a dramatic or marked change is perceived.

 

What are commonly treated conditions?

These are conditions that patients tend to seek treatment for.

  • Tendon and ligament injuries
  • Neurological pain
  • Disc disease (bulges, herniations, injuries)
  • Chronic non-healing wounds
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • General pain
  • Muscle strains and tears
  • Musculoskeletal disorders
  • Joint and muscle pain
  • Pre and post surgical treatment
  • Arthritis and degenerative joint conditions
  • Anti-inflammation/edema

How much treatment do I need?

As was mentioned earlier a series of 4-15 treatments are recommended, depending on a severity of the condition. For lower back conditions, studies have show approximately 10 visits are optimal. We schedule the sessions with about 1-2 days in between as the effects of the laser are cumulative and build up with each treatment. You feel better with each successive treatment.

Once the 6-7 visits are finished, you may choose to have treatments monthly or every two months depending on how good you feel or in some cases to help maintain your health.

What does treatment cost?

Each laser therapy session costs $50.00. Studies have indicated that following through with a 6-7 session regimen is optimal for best results for moderate conditions. Conditions with severe pain might take longer. Our goal is to combine this healing technology with chiropractic adjustments and expedite the healing process with cold laser therapy.

If you are a new patient to our office, Dr. Burt welcomes you to discuss whether laser therapy is right for you. He will perform an initial Chiropractic examination that costs $100.00.

Insurance does not cover the cost of laser visits but your flexible spending or health savings accounts will. The office staff will furnish you with a statement of services that will serve as your receipt.
Are there any safety reasons why I can’t have laser therapy?
Pacemakers, systemic diseases (i.e. cancer), and over the thyroid area are reasons we do not do laser. For other concerns, talk to Dr. Burt.

Can I come in just for the Laser Treatment and not Chiropractic care?

In the state of California, Dr. Burt must utilize Chiropractic care in conjunction with laser therapy. He understands that some of you reading about this laser would never consider going to the Chiropractor in the first place or you may already have one you currently see. Please understand that you are likely calling Dr. Burt to trouble shoot a health related problem or ask him about specific pain you want to get rid off. His Gonstead style of Chiropractic adjustment is different and part of doing a great job for you is to evaluate you properly.

The adjustments he will provide may not have to be very extensive and in almost all cases, he can work with your current Chiropractor, Physical therapist, M.D. or massage therapist so that there is no overlap in treatment or over-treatment. Dr. Burt just wants to be able to help you with this laser, so call and talk to him and you can make your own decision.

If I am not a patient but want to talk about care that includes laser treatment, what is expected of me?

You can call to schedule an initial appointment where Dr. Burt will perform an initial exam to find out about your specific health condition. He will find out how laser therapy and Chiropractic can help you. The cost of this exam is $100.00. After explaining what is happening with your body and your condition, Dr. Burt will outline your treatment plan. If you wish, your first laser and Chiropractic treatment will be performed that day. Expect to spend 30 minutes on your first visit, then 15 minutes for visits after that.

We do not accept any private health insurances at our office with an exception of personal injury cases. We let our attorney deal with  insurance paperwork on all of our personal injury cases a our San Leandro Chiropractic Center. A payment in full is expected at the end of each treatment session. We can provide your an itemized statement and you can take to your insurance coverage and ask for reimbursement.

 

Car Accident Injury & Chiropractic Rehabilitation in San Leandro

San Leandro ChiropractorCar Accident Injury & Chiropractic Rehabilitation in San Leandro

This patient was referred to my clinic by one of the personal injury attorneys that I have been working with. When I spoke to a patient on a phone I did not expect that this is going to be a case when I would need to treat a spine with a compression fracture, protruded disc , subluxated rib and sever neck and back pain. This particular patient was very lucky to be alive after I saw the pictures on a phone and whatever was left over from her car after it was crashed by an AC Transit Bus. Ambulance was called and patient was taken to a nearby Hospital for observation and diagnostic studies. X-Ray did not reveal any life threatening fracture to a cervical and lumbar spine.

Examination:

During examination patient had severe amount of pain and did not know what to expect from a chiropractic care as she has never been to a chiropractor before.  Every single orthopedic test was positive during an examination. Any way patient moved would cause pain and discomfort. She was not able to go to sleep without taking heavy dose of pain medications and muscle relaxants. Lack of sleep adds extra stress to an already injured body, which creates a wishes cycle in a recovery process after such a serious car accident. Posture revealed uneven pelvis base, which is an indication of sacroiliac joint misalignment, lumbar spine was painful upon digital palpation. Sever pain at T12 vertebral level (later MRI revealed Compression Fracture at that vertebral Level) with radiating pain along intercostal nerve on a right side which did not allow patient to freely inhale and exhale.  Severe neck pain with minimal range of motion and muscle spasm.

Treatment:

The rehabilitation process began right after examination has been concluded. The frequency of visits was set at 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Each visit would include Electric Stimulation from Interferential Machines, Moist Heat at 140F from automated Electric Blanket both for 15 minutes. After this passive therapy this patient would get full spine chiropractic adjustment as well as rib adjustment in order to eliminate intercostal referral pain. Next stop would be a deep tissue massage from my in house Certified Massage Therapist. This frequency was kept for 4 weeks.

After two and a half weeks of care I have ordered MRI study of the lumbar spine due to persistent pain and minimal improvement. This study has revealed that this patient had severe disc protrusion both anterior and posterior and L5 vertebral level. This is most likely the cause of the persistent pain and discomfort in a lumbar spine. We have scheduled this patient with an Orthopedic surgeon for evaluation and possible treatment. MRI has also revealed a compression fracture at T12 vertebral level. The anterior portion of the body has been compressed under tremendous amount of force during the collision of the car and a bus. Rib and neck pain have improved since the beginning of the treatment.

Result:

At this point we are approaching a third and a final month of a rehabilitation process. Patient comes in once a week. Her rib pain, mid back and neck pain have improved quite a bit. However, she still feels pain and discomfort in a lumbar spine. Orthopedic surgeon did not offer anything exciting regarding treatment and management of the lumbar spine – it was the usual taking drugs or performing a surgery which can bring only 50% of success. I have discussed with patient specific lumbar exercises and stretching program in order to manage lumbar spine pain level and discomfort. Overall this lucky patient is very happy with an outcome of a rehabilitation process at our San Leandro Chiropractic Clinic.
