Santee, CA – Dr. Wayne Whalen is a highly sought after chiropractor and founder and owner of Whalen Chiropractic.
According to Dr. Wayne Whalen, a full service chiropractor who has practiced chiropractic medicine for over 35 years and has co-authored multiple peer reviewed guidelines for the profession.
"I recommend seeing a chiropractor at the onset of minor pain before it becomes a serious problem."
He sees the problem from a mechanical perspective and has co-authored the national guidelines to address these ailments in a more holistic approach rather than rely on over-the-counter or prescription drugs. His first recommendation would be a 6 visit trial including spinal manipulation, exercise advise and other options. Most spinal problems relate to mechanical dysfunction, and respond well to mechanical, rather than chemical treatments. He recommends a thorough evaluation, trial of care, and assessment for improvement after treatment.
Dr. Whalen also points out that seeing a chiropracter is a much safer option than taking drugs or having surgery.
"There is a reason we have an opiode crisis in this country.and a lot of it stems from all the physicians over prescribing drugs that are both addictive and deadly."
Dr. Whalen now works with a team of practicing chiropractors who have created national guidelines on addressing lower back pain. A couple of years ago, he published a guideline on neck pain, and most recently chronic pain.
“My work is all evidence based and although I do not make promises, I explain how I approach pain management."
