GENERAL COMMENTS:
-Dr. Carol Loechinger's patients have affectionately named her “Dr. Carol”. She has developed a chiropractic practice of women and children and a nutritional practice of men, women and children seeking optimum health as opposed to just treating the condition.
Dr Carol reports many patients seek my care with a wellness vs. illness based goal, “and this is my ideal patient”.
“I love to work with people who are informed enough to seek ways to maintain health and try to avoid disease”.
Dr. Carol views one on one consultations as a priority and treats her patients with complimentary medicine known as nutraceuticals which are comprised of vitamins, minerals, herbs, and homeopathic remedies.
Dr. Richard Loechinger is one of the few chiropractic physicians in the Miami Valley who is trained and skilled in performing MUA (Manipulation under Anesthesia).
- MUA offers a non-surgical approach to disc patients who are no longer automatically sent to surgery.
- Many times a short course of conservative care with moderate treatment techniques and equipment can elevate problems that used to be treated only with surgery.
We, (Dr. Richard Loechinger and Dr. Carol Loechinger) offer painless, low force spinal and extremity manipulation that was not available 20-30 years ago.
Advanced treatment and therapy offered today are exciting and highly effective
COMBINED TRADITIONAL CHIROPRACTIC AND HOLESTIC NATURAL MEDICINE IS A BONUS FOR OUR PATIENTS
- "Our patients are educated, enlightened, and in search of physicians that combine these methods," explain the doctors
MISCONCEPTION REGARDING CHIROPRACTIC AND HOLISTIC MEDICINE;
THAT IS TRADITIONAL MEDICINE IS DISGARDED

“OUR TEAM APPROACH AND INDIVIDUAL INTERESTS ALLOW US TO DELIVER A UNIQUE BLEND OF TRADITIONAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND COMPLEMENTORY NATURAL MEDICINE. WE TREAT INDIVIDUALS NOT JUST THEIR CONDITIONS”
