Advanced Training & Collaborative Care
Every chiropractor can say they will “get to the root cause of your pain.” But how can they if they don’t know what’s happening biomechanically? What sets Metro Chiropractic apart is a higher level of expertise and a commitment to integrated healthcare.
Our diagnostic process is built on the Spinal Analysis System (SAS), a methodology that goes beyond surface-level symptoms and uncovers the precise biomechanical issues causing your pain. Robert E. Elder, DC, FPSC(C) analyzes your X-rays with a computerized engineering program to find the true source of your problem — and it’s what allows us to deliver such great results!
Robert E. Elder, DC, FPSC(C) holds a candidacy for his fellowship in primary spine care (FPSC) from the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in Buffalo, New York. His advanced training provides a deeper level of expertise in diagnosing complex conditions, especially trauma experienced in motor vehicle accidents. He also collaborates with a medical team of professionals if co-management is needed. This integrated approach means we look at your health from all angles to create the most effective and appropriate treatment plan for you.
Our experienced team provides chiropractic treatment for a wide range of neuromusculoskeletal issues. We focus on identifying the source of your pain – the bones, nerves, muscles, tendons or ligaments – to provide effective, long-term relief.
