DRS Protocol
The DRS Protocol is a patented spinal decompression treatment for chronic back and neck pain. This non-surgical therapy uses advanced technology to relieve pressure on spinal discs, promoting healing and reducing discomfort. Patients benefit from targeted treatment for herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and failed back surgery syndrome without pain medication or invasive procedures.
Neuropathy Treatment
Our Busch Neuropathy Protocol addresses peripheral neuropathy symptoms through infrared therapy and photomodulation. This drug-free approach targets nerve damage from diabetes, chemotherapy, or other causes, reducing pain, numbness, and tingling while improving mobility and quality of life for patients experiencing debilitating symptoms.
Knee Pain Treatment
The Busch Stem Cell Stimulation Protocol offers non-surgical knee pain relief using low-level light therapy and shockwave treatments. This comprehensive approach reduces inflammation, promotes tissue repair, and improves mobility for patients with arthritis, meniscus tears, or other knee conditions without requiring surgical intervention.
Carpal Tunnel Therapy
Our non-invasive carpal tunnel treatment combines chiropractic care and focused wave therapy to relieve median nerve compression. This alternative to surgery addresses numbness, tingling, and weakness in hands caused by repetitive strain or medical conditions, restoring function without downtime or recovery periods.
Balance Protocol
The Balance Protocol improves stability and coordination through targeted neuromuscular treatments. Designed for seniors and those with balance disorders, this three-step approach reduces fall risk by addressing musculoskeletal imbalances, enhancing coordination, and improving confidence in daily activities through specialized chiropractic interventions.

After 20 years of low back pain, numerous doctors with no confirmed diagnosis of what was actually causing my pain, I finally was encouraged to give Dr Busch a try. This was literally my last physical hope next to a miracle. And maybe it was. I have much less pain, walk up the stairs to bed instead of crawling, and I just feel better overall. Thank you, Dr Busch, for being so confident and helping me to feel the same.

I have had lower back pain that flared up intermittently the last 20 years. I am a nurse and many years working in the hospital took its toll on my back. Recently, while on a motorcycle trip, I had such severe sciatica pain radiating down my right leg. Upon follow up from our trip I found I had a bulging L4-L5 discs with nerve pinched. Years ago, My son had a similar diagnosis and had successful treatment thru Busch clinic and his DRS Protocol.

I'd never been to a chiropractor before, and I truly had tongue in cheek. But since the treatment had worked wonders on my son, I decided that I may as well give it a shot. I'm sooo glad I did! I noticed improvement after my second treatment! I am thrilled with everything! The Dr and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely will recommend to all my friends! Thank you to Dr Busch and his wonderful staff.

After a failed back surgery, I started the DRS protocol around 7-8 years ago. I have continued with the program because it is the only thing that keeps me out of pain. Dr Busch and his friendly staff provide the best non-surgical care I could find.

New patient to Dr. Busch's office in 2020 when my sciatic pain was becoming unbearable and interfering with my mobility. Years of wear & tear on my lower back contributed to my disc disease. After reviewing my X-rays I was just hoping to gain back some degree of function and manageable pain. Amazing to me, but understandably typical of his patients after treatment, I was totally pain free and had gained full function after 6 months. Wanting to keep what I gained I opted for a maintenance program and have been delighted with that choice to date. Everyone on his staff is super knowledgeable and friendly! I highly recommend Dr. Busch and staff!
