• Meet The Doctor

  
  

  
  If you are from Florence SC or the Pee Dee region, you probably know Dr. Donna as:

  1) the Chiropractor with the funny last name

  2) the Chiropractor with the dog. (German Shepard)

  3) the Chiropractor with the 2 cute kids

  If you have seen one or more of her TV commercials then the above statements probably ring a bell…..

  In addition:

  Dr. Donna Klucharich (Yauneridge) is a graduate of Sherman Chiropractic College in Spartanburg SC. She has practiced Chiropractic in both Pennsylvania and the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. After much success in Bennettsville, Darlington and surrounding areas, she opened her own practice in Florence SC in 1998.

  As a teenager she was quite athletic, and played various high school sports, while often competing in regional and state events. Her interest for better health and natural healing, coupled by her desire to help others were instrumental in her desire to go to Chiropractic College immediately after high school.

  Her passion for the natural healing is second only to her family and faith in Jesus Christ. She is married to Lou Klucharich and has 2 wonderful kids Ashley Grace and Caleb Paul. She not only teaches and practices “The Natural Way to Good Health” at her office, but also lives by those standards at home as a wife and caregiver. She has educated herself in proper nutrition, diet and natural remedies and lives by the same principles. Patients that are interested in more "natural" avenues to get well and stay well find her knowledge and experience most valuable.

  As a mom she has fond memories of her pregnancies, as her body thrived with new life. She continued to adjust patient’s right up to and including the day that she delivered both of her kids. She was able to give birth to her children completely natural and did not require any medications (not even an aspirin). Ashley and Caleb have never been vaccinated or have received flu shots, and are rarely sick thanks to Chiropractic adjustments which have strengthened and optimized immune systems. On certain week nights and Saturday’s mornings you can find her and her husband coaching little soccer and baseball at the Florence Family YMCA.

  Dr. Donna and her family attend and serve at Lamb’s Chapel Christian Center, in Florence SC. Over the last 11 years they have served local Christian community needs as well as participated in building churches in Central America.

  She is known by her patients and friends as sincere, understanding, thoughtful, and compassionate. These characteristics coupled by her extensive experience and success provide her patients with a unique doctor / patient experience.

• What To Expect

  
  

  Laying the foundation

  Chiropractic care is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully.

  There are three general phases of chiropractic care . . .

  Phase 1: Crisis Care

  If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 2- 4 weeks.

  Phase 2: Critical Transition / CorrectiveCare

  During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.

  Phase 3: Wellness Care

  Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.

• PEMF

  
  

  Dr. Manny Alvarez - Amazing Foot Pain Treatment

  Explaining PEMF Sessions

  P = Pulsating

  E = Electro

  M = Magnetic

  F = Field

  Question: Is it effective ? Is it safe?

  Answer: PEMF has been successfully used used in Europe for over 40 years. The FDA has approved PEMF for bone healing and depression.

  Question: What does the machine do?

  Short Answer : It produces a variable pulsating electromagnetic field, which improves cellular metabolic function. Long Answer: The Cells within this variable pulsating electromagnetic field are being exercised and the cells that have low energy can be felt as a mild discomfort or slight pain. Higher energy cells are being exercised but may not be felt. While these low energy cells are exercised they are beginning to have toxins permeate out their membranes and therefore the PEMF unit helps to detoxify cells.

  The PEMF unit also increases blood circulation and oxygen flow to the cells which helps the cell to function at a higher metabolic efficiency.

  The PEMF technology has been known to help detoxify and increase the flow of the lymphatic fluids which will help detoxification and cellar fluid dynamics including nutritional uptake.

  PEMF puts a healthy energy charge into the interior of the cell behind the cell membrane that raises cellular energy so the cell can heal itself faster. While many technologies can affect the interstitial fluids, pulsed electromagnetic fields can influence and charge the interior parts of the cell including the nuclease and the mitochondria.

  PEMF's are like a spark plug or catalyst for energy production in the cell. Just like a car needs oxygen, fuel and an ignition (spark plug), so does the human cell need fuel (glucose), oxygen and a "spark plug" or ignition. This ignition is PEMF or pulsed elctro magnetic energy.

  We can also think of PEMF as abattery re-charger for the human cell. We now know that the voltage of a healthy cell is about 70 millivolts. When we get sick or have damaged cells, these cells have been known to operate at 30 - 15 millivolts or less in cases of cancer, or cell / body death. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) act like a catalyst and battery re-charger for the human cells and these PEMF's are critical for human metabolism.

  PEMF's also improve microcirculation, oxygenation (up to a 200% increase), help in nerve regeneration, pain management and many other health promoting benefits. There are over 1000 clinical studies and over 7000 research papers validating the therapeutic benefits of PEMFs.

  Things PEMF Can Help

  Painful Joints

  What causes it? Painful joints are generally caused by inflammation in the joints producing pain and stiffness. Often the inflammation is caused by arthritis, a degenerative disease of the joints that commonly occurs in aging.

  How can PEMF help?

  Pulsing electromagnetic fields induce electrical changes around and within the cell that improves blood supply, increases the oxygen pressure, activating repair and regeneration of the damaged cells. Increased calcium transport stimulates the repair and growth of cartilage. This allows for better transport of nutrients and more efficient removal of inflammatory fluids and decreases the pain, sometimes dramatically. The application of PEMF therapy in the area of painful joints once or twice a day for 30 minutes will help stimulate healing and reduce swelling and pain.

  Doctors in the USA have used PEMF (Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field) since 1978 when it was officially authorized by the American Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to help the healing of severely broken bones. Over the past few years, research has shown that its effectiveness not only helps the healing of fractured bones but it also can significantly reduce pain and accelerate the healing of soft tissues and cartridge in joints.

  Sports Injuries

  Whether it’s a pulled hamstring, torn muscle or fractured bones, studies have proven PEMF therapy significantly reduces pain and inflammation while stimulating a faster recovery. Pulsing electromagnetic fields induce electrical changes around and within the cell that improves blood supply, increases the oxygen pressure, activating repair and regeneration of the damaged cells.

  When applied to the injured area Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field (PEMF) causes a relaxation of the smooth muscle walls of capillaries improving blood flow and oxygenation. This allows for better transport of nutrients and more efficient removal of inflammatory fluids. The result is reduced swelling and bruising and significant increases the rate of repair of damaged tissue. Allowing you to be up and competing again in record time.

  PEMF facilitates cellular detoxification by providing the body with a proprietary combination of beneficial, broad spectrum electromagnetic energy. This results in heightened energy levels and increased capacity to recover rapidly from strenuous workouts. Additionally, users have come to rely on PEMF sessions to combat common side effects of strenuous exercise, including; Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), chronic fatigue, and strained or injured muscles and joints. . Athletic Performance

  PEMF can be highly beneficial to serious athletes who are looking to get the most out of their body. By exposing muscles to Pulsemaster’s pulsed electronic magnetic field (PEMF) natural chemicals are release that promote cells to recover, and rejuvenate.

  Among the growing list of current users are professional basketball teams, world champion motorcycle riders and world-class cyclists. Several high-profile national swim teams, track and field stars, and Olympic athletes are using PEMF technology as an integral part of their training and recovery regiment.

  Golf & Tennis Elbow - Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI)

  What causes it?

  Tennis elbow is an inflammation or degeneration tendon that attaches the bone on the outside of the arm or elbow that results from overuse or repetitive stress. It is one of a whole spectrum of injuries called Repetitive Strain Injury or RSI.

  RSI includes tendonitis of the hand or wrist to carpal tunnel syndrome. Basically, if your hands or wrists hurt or go numb or tingle, that may be RSI. If these symptoms are associated with repetitive tasks, such as typing at a computer, it is almost certainly RSI.

  How can PEMF help?

  PEMF therapy can penetrate skin, fat, muscle, bone to deliver high frequency energy directly to the tendons that are usually central to the cause of the inflammation and pain. This electrical energy is specifically shaped and tuned to induce electrical changes around and within the cell that improves blood supply, increases the oxygen pressure, activating and regenerating cells. Increased calcium transport stimulates the repair and growth of cartilage while at the same time decreasing pain dramatically. PEMF therapy is drug free and proven to amongst the safest treatments available for Tennis elbow and other repetitive strain injuries. PEMF therapy works best on RSI injuries when used regularly as the treatments have a cumulative effect.

  Swelling & Bruising

  What causes it?

  Swelling and bruising is an inflammation and discoloration of soft tissue caused by an impact injury, a fall or while participating in sport. It can also result from surgery. Tissue cells are tiny electrically charged machines. When traumatized, the cells' electrical charges are diminished. Your body also releases chemical signals that cause inflammation, swelling, bruising and pain.

  How can PEMF help?

  PEMF therapy treats the cellular source of swelling by recharging the cells with a mild electromagnetic current. This stops the release of pain and inflammatory mediators, reduces inflammatory fluids and allows an increase in blood flow to help the cells heal faster with less swelling, pain and bruising.

  In America therapy very similar to PEMF therapy is used daily to reduce swelling and bruising after plastic surgery.

  Poor Circulation

  What causes poor blood circulation?

  Poor circulation is most commonly caused by a progressive blocking of the arteries in the leg (athersclerosis). Those with diabetes are more likely to develop poor circulation to the foot. Other risk factors for developing poor circulation include a lack of physical activity, smoking, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

  Some of the symptoms include:

  Claudication (this is a dull cramping pain in the calf muscle that comes on after walking a certain distance - it is relieved by rest).

  Numbness or tingling in the foot, or toes can occur.

  Changes in the color of the skin (it becomes more pale, bluish, or reddish).

  Changes in skin temperature (the foot becomes cooler. See cold feet).

  Skin breakdowns, infection and sores do not heal as well as they should.

  How can PEMF help?

  Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field (PEMF) complementary therapy creates a magnetic field that penetrates skin, fat, muscle, bone to deliver a mild energy charge that helps the ions in the blood to move more freely in the direction of the blood flow. Over time this process can significantly improve your blood circulation. It also induces mild electrical changes around and within the blood cells that increases the oxygen pressure, activating and regenerating cells. Regular use of PEMF significantly improves circulation in you legs and arms.

  PEMF has been used in Europe for over 40 years.

  PEMF has been approved by the FDA for Bone Healing, and Depression.
