ACCUPUNCTURE | SPINAL DECOMPRESSION | CHIROPRACTIC
Hello, my name is Dr. Matthew Labertew. I am originally from Bethalto and graduated from Civic Memorial High School, class of 1993. After completing my undergraduate schooling, I attended Logan Chiropractic College and graduated in December of 1998. Upon graduating I was given the opportunity to complete a year long internship in a very successful office that averaged 350 patient visits a week. This experience provided me the chance to literally get my hands on thousands of spines of all ages and sizes.
After the internship, I started my own practice in Vandalia, Illinois in 1999 and sold it in December of 2007. While in Vandalia I was a professor at the local junior college teaching Anatomy and Physiology and coached track and field for Greenville College for 5 years. During that time I encountered many athletic related injuries and became proficient in treating them. I have been back in Bethalto for the last 3 years. I practice a variety of techniques. I have recently added acupuncture as an alternative therapy.

Accupuncture
Originating in China between three and five thousand years ago, acupuncture is the oldest continuously practiced system of medicine in the world. Today acupuncture is used by nearly one-third of the world as a primary health care system and by millions more as an adjunctive therapy. The fundamental principles of acupuncture are: treat the person as an integrated whole in body, mind, and spirit, and to remedy the root cause of illness and disease. Acupuncture is based on the movement of Qi (pronounced “chee”). Qi is the life-giving energy that circulates along channels to all organs of the body and enables them to function. Qi is what animates you, gives you vitality and shows up as the sparkle in your eyes. When the Qi in the body is abundant and flowing freely, you thrive. If your Qi is depleted or obstructed, symptoms--the body's distress signals warning there is a problem--begin to arise. If the underlying problem is not addressed, very likely sooner or later more serious illnesses or disease affecting your physical body, your mental clarity, your sense of joy in living, or your sense of purpose, may show up. The acupuncturist looks to the underlying disharmony and focuses treatment on both the root cause and the symptoms brought on by the imbalance. There are approximately 360 points that acupuncturists use to influence the Qi. This is done with the use of acupuncture. Over time, acupuncture treatment rebalances the circulation of Qi to all the organ systems. One impressive advantage of acupuncture is that it is almost completely free of side effects. Acupuncture does not separate the mind and body, and looks at everything about a person, including lifestyle and stresses as well as symptoms. Initially you will be seen weekly. After about 6 weeks, as your energy begins to hold balance for longer periods, the time between treatments is spaced out to every other week, then every three weeks, then monthly. In addition to treating their primary concerns, people often report side benefits such as increased energy and vitality, more restorative sleep, healthier appetite, more enjoyment of life, better handling of stressful situations, improved menstrual cycles, an overall sense of well-being, and other improvements.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression is achieved through the use of a mechanical traction device applied through an on-board computer that controls the force and angle of disc distraction, which reduces the body’s natural propensity to resist external force and/or generate muscle spasm. This enhanced control allows non-surgical spinal decompression tables to apply a traction force to the discs of the spinal column reducing intradiscal pressure, unlike previous non-computer controlled traction tables.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a health care discipline and profession that emphasizes diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system , especially the spine , under the hypothesis that these disorders affect general health via the nervous system . Although chiropractors have many attributes of primary care providers, chiropractic has more of the attributes of a medical specialty like dentistry or podiatry .[4] The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy , including manipulation of the spine , other joints, and soft tissues ; treatment also includes exercises and health and lifestyle counseling.[5] Traditional chiropractic assumes that a vertebral subluxation or spinal joint dysfunction interferes with the body's function and its innate intelligence ,[6] a vitalistic notion that brings ridicule from mainstream science and medicine.

Detox Foot Bath
People love the effects of our ionic foot baths; they find themselves more relaxed and relieved of tension and stress. But what is an ion and how does it work? A negative ion is an atom that has lost or gained one or more electrons causing it to become negatively charged. This negative ion is smaller than a molecule which allows it to be easily absorbed by the body through the process of osmosis. The scientific term of Osmosis is used to describe the movement of particles through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. All Detox Foot Baths operate through a process called electrolysis. This is done by generating the proper amount of current in the foot bath water causing the molecules of H2O to divide producing negative ions. When it has been fully charged it can not absorb anymore energy. All foreign matter such as harmful chemicals, heavy metals, parasites, and others are all positively charged. The negative ion seeks out a positive molecule to attach to. Once attached to these foreign substances the body can readily eliminate them naturally through its own natural processes. This is the reason why a person should only do a foot bath session 2 or 3 times a week. Some of the impurities are transferred through the feet during the detox foot bath session, however, once the body has absorbed such a high amount of negative ions it begins to eliminate these toxins naturally over a period of days.
