Glen M. Batson, D.C.

 A 1988 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, Dr. Batson interned under Dr. Vernon Pierce and co-sponsored seminars with Dr. Pierce on the Pierce Results Technique. Certified in video-fluoroscopy, Dr. Batson assisted  Dr. Pierce in developing and instructing the Video-Fluoroscopic Imaging Certification Program through Palmer College of Chiropractic at the post graduate level. Dr Batson has been serving the Chicago land area since 1989.

Dr. Batson sustained spinal injuries as a young man, suffering with severe low back pain for many years. It was through the personal care rendered by Dr. Pierce that Dr. Batson resolved his spinal complications and is now treating patients for similar and other conditions. Dr. Batson understands first hand how pain and its ramification affect the daily living activities of the individual suffering from spinal complications.

Dr. Batson utilizes video fluoroscopy motion x-ray, plain film x-ray, and physical examiantion to analyze the biomechanics of the spine. Video fluoroscopy is a procedure of viewing and analyzing the spine in dynamic motion, whereby the patient is moving through a series of pre-determined motions while being examined via x-ray imaging. These images are captured for further review. Specific manual adjusting techniques, electronic adjusting instrumentation, infra-red instrumentation, as well as soft tisuue therapy are utilized for the correction of the subluxation/misalignment which may be causing a neurological, musculo-skeletal,and soft tissue symptomatology. Dr. Batson does not perform jerking or twisting adjustment procedures.

Dr. Batson utilizes the LORDEX Lumbar Decompression System for lower back and leg pain associated with disc bulging, disc herniations, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, and sciatica. The therapy is gentle, relaxing, and effective to restore strength and function to the ligaments, disc, and soft tissue of the lumbar spine. Decompression therapy targets the pain producing areas of the spine (the disc, nerve roots and facet joints) that are undergoing abnormal biomechanical function causing irritation. By gentle distraction of specific spinal segments, decompression therapy attempts to draw nutrients and disc material back into the disc space to relieve nerve impingment. Muscle strengthening and stabilization excerises are also utilized to improve the functional capacity of the spine.

Dr. Batson also consults with organizations, municipalities, and businesses for the education of work place ergonomics and spinal care, with the emphasis on preventative care. Personalized lectures can be scheduled by contacting our office at 630-323-1181.
