The Clinic

Dr. Nixdorf has been in practice in Richmond since September 1972.   The primary care provided is for spine and related conditions regardless of age.    Spine problems often occur through events associated with sport, work, or accident  which will be easy for most patients to identify.   At other times no immediate cause is identified but the common feeling of loss of movement to one direction and soreness of muscles are usual first signs or symptoms.  These effects or symptoms should not be confused as being a muscle problem but instead help you understand which area or part of the spine may be causing the condition.   When these or more obvious pains occur and do not show a decrease within 2 days you should contact the office for an examination.    Spine and related problems that do not improve early by themselves may begin to develop nerve and related disc symptoms.

The clinic includes investigation of conditions including fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome and other common neuro musculoskeletal chronic pain affecting persons while sleeping.  Research trials on the effects of emf have been published demonstrating the absence of emf can reduce persons chronic pain.   Farabloc a woven fabric has been successfully demonstrated in research and clinical application to help reduce chronic pain for a broad range of common conditions.   Custom applications for chronic shoulder pain, hips, or headaches are provided at the clinic location.   Persons experiencing phantom limb pain can should contact the clinic for a limb cover for the reduction of pain when sleeping or not using their prosthesis.   Persons experiencing phantom limb pain when wearing a prosthesis are recommended to contact Award Prosthetics for a prosthetic lamination with Farabloc.
