Q. Dr. Young is a D.A.B.C.O. - What is a DABCO?

A.

D.A.B.C.O. stands for Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Orthopedists. This is also referred to as a Chiropractic Orthopedist and as Board Certified in Chiropractic Orthopedics. This degree requires approximately 400 hours of study beyond the basic Chiropractic degree (D.C.) and the passing of a very difficult, two day exam at the conclusion of this multi-year program. This is a degree held by fewer than 1% of all Chiropractors. Some of the additional education in the program includes the diagnosis of musculoskeletal and nerve disorders, sports injuries, arthritic disorders, and MRI evaluation.

Q. What is P.I.N.S. therapy?

Q. How is P.I.N.S. therapy different from Prolotherapy?
