His rise to fame was meeting the challenge of finding a better way to help heal patients…
Because of the minimal amount of health benefits that the chiropractic profession afforded just a few years ago, Dr. Helwig was driven into searching for new, better and efficient ways to help people with their traditional back pain problems. The doctor’s thirst for finding these new methods became an obsession in his quest to help people be the best they can be with optimal function and personal well being. After a five year search, the 21st Century Chiropractic Family Wellness, S.C. is a result and along with it came the newest methods in providing non-surgical and non-invasive treatments for disorders such as: lower back pain, headaches, herniated disc, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain and 11 other danger signals that create life-long pain and frustration.
Dr. Helwig has employed the latest in medical technology and professional staff to help improve the treatments he administers, with success rates of over 85% in many of the aforementioned disorders.
To quote Dr. Helwig, “I spared no expense bringing in the most state-of-the-art equipment for my patients. I did it for a single purpose…to help people by treating them in a straight forward manner and as honestly as I can.” This new technology is, in fact, allowing him to do just that. His million dollar investment in equipment such as the DTS Spinal Decompression Therapy, the ProAdjuster, Erchonia Laser and his Digital Thermal Scanner are just a few of the space-aged medical technology breakthroughs that are transforming the lives of patients who, at one time, thought there was no help available, rekindled Dr. Helwig’s burning desire to improve and maintain people’s health and general wellness.
