Alternative Healing Chiropractic Center

09/13/2018
Photo Caption:Dr. Abby Stauss and Dr. Dianna Loudenbeck of Alternative Healing Chiropractic Center.

Debbie Loudenbeck is the office manager for the Alternative Healing Chiropractic Center, located at 576 Donnelly Avenue in Coos Bay. She has a very personal interest in this practice, too, since the founding Chiropractor is her daughter, Dr. Dianna Loudenbeck. Debbie was born and raised on the South Coast, graduating from Marshfield High School. Coincidentally, her daughter did, too.

I asked Debbie how her daughter decided to become a chiropractor.

"Dianna had been having migraines from the time she was in second grade," Debbie explained. "We went the whole route of taking her to different doctors, and for years she found no relief from her headaches. Finally, Dr. Lanway at Bay Area Chiropractic Center, helped her by using his adjustments and treatments and her migraines finally stopped. When Dianna was in high school, she knew she wanted to be a chiropractor to help people experience the same relief from pain that she had received."

In June of 2010 Dianna graduated with her doctorate degree in chiropractic from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland Oregon. In August of that year, her dreams were realized when she opened The Alternative Healing Chiropractic Center. Now the center boasts two doctors. Dr. Abby Stauss joined the clinic in May of 2016. She graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida. She grew up in Fargo North Dakota, but is now proud to call the bay area her home.

"We get patients from all over the South Coast," Debbie said. "We are a full service chiropractic clinic, offering a complete line of physiotherapy, including ultrasound, electric muscle stimulation, microcurrent, infrared light therapy, low level laser therapy, traction, therapeutic massage for the body or general physical well-being, and nutritional supplements. We see patients who have neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, disc problems, fibromyalgia, headaches, carpal tunnel, back pain, sciatica, whiplash, most any kind of ailment that the body experiences. Massage and chiropractic treatments are offered five days a week by appointment. We have two licensed massage therapists who are proficient in therapeutic massage, including deep tissue, cupping, and muscle scraping to name a few."

I asked Debbie what she thought made Alternative Healing Chiropractic stand out from other chiropractic centers in the bay area.

"Since we're a full service chiropractic center, our patients don't have to go someplace else for their specific need, as they can get an adjustment, physiotherapy and massage on the same day, in the same office." Debbie replied. "Another important point is that if someone was injured in a car accident, they can come directly to us for treatment, with or without a referral. Our two doctors are young women who are knowledgeable in all the latest chiropractic techniques. They are continually updating their education and training, and we consider this clinic to be very progressive. We pride ourselves in having a friendly staff, who makes everyone feel welcome."

Dr. Loudenbeck says, "Chiropractic is an overall way of looking at the human body. It's based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing; that in essence it is completely controlled by the brain through its connection via the spinal cord and the vast network of nerves that make up the body. When this system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is lacking. And that's where we come in."

Debbie said that what she enjoys most about working at Alternative Healing Chiropractic is that "Patients come in here in pain, and leave feeling so much better. It's very uplifting to see. To keep feeling good, patients often come back for maintenance care. We even see little babies and toddlers. I recall one case where a three month old infant was crying continually and the parents were exhausted. Dr. Loudenbeck treated his little spine and he slept through the night for the first time. She checked him another two or three times, and that's all it took. Other babies are brought in just for a wellness check as there are many things that chiropractic care can treat."

Alternative Healing Chiropractic Center moved to their new location on Donnelly Avenue, behind the Coos Bay Fire Station, in June of 2017, and now has a beautiful office with lots of space and parking. They are adding two more treatment rooms which will allow them to see more patients soon. They gladly bill Medicare and most health insurances. Their hours are 9am to 5pm Monday through Thursday and Friday from 10am to 5pm. Give them a call at 541-266-7543 and find out more about chiropractic care and how you may benefit from it! Please check out their website at www.alternativehealingchiropractic.com and take the video tour of their office. You'll be glad you did!

Abbreviations

Accepted Shopper Abbreviations  For consistency & clarity in the South Coast Shopper we use a set of standard classified ad abbreviations. They are listed here to help advertisers in writing their ads and readers in understanding the ads. (There is a fee for NOT abbreviating classified ads because our rates are based on these abbreviations)  UPDATE! We use abbreviations to save space in the paper, saving cost, that we pass on to our advertisers with lower classified rates than comparable papers across the Nation. A new way of naming products has developed that make product names unnecessarily longer. We will list these names in the traditional way to continue to save space in the paper, saving cost that we can continue to pass on to our advertisers. Examples: Ranger XLT by Ford would be abbreviated to: Ford Ranger XLT OceanRunner Rainbow Series by WildSeas would be abbreviated to: WildSeas Rainbow OceanRunner In the body of an ad always use numerals. Example: Newer 3bdr home. At the beginning of an ad spell out short numbers. (Example: Three bdr home.) As always, if you do not want your ad abbreviate we can use the longer version for $2.
