A New Approach to Health in Champaign IL

These types of conditions affect an ever-increasing number of Americans each year. They are a major cause of missed work and increased doctor visits in this country. They often involve the spine, joints, or soft tissues throughout the body, major internal organs, or even the brain & nervous system. If you’re one of the “unlucky” ones, you know how difficult it can be simply taking a walk, working around the house, sitting & reading the newspaper, watching TV or browsing the Internet… much less more strenuous activities, perhaps related to your employment or long-distance travel.

Pain or disability related to these types of conditions ultimately affects all areas of your life – causing you to miss out on activities you love, sending you to doctors on a regular basis, often leading to frustration with poor response and possibly even to depression. Some people suffer for years, having tried:

Over-the-counter & prescription drugs (including narcotics),
Physical therapy (including active therapies like stretching & strengthening, aerobic & water exercise),
Physio-therapy (including passive therapies like heat, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, trigger point therapy & traditional traction),
Injections,
Traditional Chiropractic Care,
Acupuncture,
Massage Therapy … etc.

and are putting off the expense and risk of surgery, which has been presented as the only remaining option, until the pain becomes unrelenting and truly unbearable. Does this sound familiar?

Imagine for a moment what it would be like to have your pain reduced or perhaps even eliminated. What would you do? Where would you go? How would you feel? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if that were even possible? Many people, after suffering for so many years and trying so many different treatment regimens, lotions, potions, and pills, have given up on trying to find temporary, much less permanent relief. Based on their past experience, understandably, they simply don’t know “who to turn to” or “who to trust”.

Great news! There is New Hope! Due to extensive post-graduate study in orthopedics and additional study in functional neurology & functional internal medicine, I have the ability to understand the root causes and CRACK THE CODE of many different types of degenerative conditions, which are traditionally very difficult to manage. With this knowledge and experience utilizing several different types of “medical scientific breakthrough treatment” in proprietary protocols, REDUCTION OR ELIMINATION OF YOUR SYMPTOMS/CONDITION IS POSSIBLE, followed by a RETURN TO A MORE ACTIVE LIFESTYLE is possible, in many cases. I say this based on 45 years of experience in practice. The best news is, once the care is completed, if you have followed my directions & continue to do so, the root cause of your pain or condition is neutralized, so this relief will likely be long-term!

MOST PATIENTS WHO CONSULT WITH ME HAVE BEEN TO THEIR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN & AT LEAST 2-3 SPECIALISTS (including orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, pain specialists, internal medicine specialists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists & even traditional chiropractic doctors, etc.) … and I prefer it that way, because every possible test these doctors are aware of has often been ordered, ruling out most conditions which may not respond to my care.

When I first learned of the medical breakthrough procedures referred to above, I was determined to thoroughly research them and then, if worthwhile, add them to my practice! Here are a few I have incorporated into my proprietary treatment programs:

Far-Infrared Heat Therapy
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
Nerve Rebuilder
Neuro-Cranial Integration
Vibration Therapy

After completing a program of care with these procedures, a high percentage of my patients have obtained some truly incredible results.

One of my patients with severe Degenerative Disc Disease was freed from his power wheelchair, returned to walking, and returned to his employment as a pharmacist again!

A patient with severe Degenerative Joint Disease told me how he’s now pain-free & working on projects around the home for the first time in 20 years!

Another patient with Peripheral Neuropathy was in constant pain, experiencing numbness & weakness of his legs & feet, as well as balance difficulties. He had to give up his lawn/landscaping business. After 6 months of care, he called to tell me he was back to his normal activity and had started up his lawn care business again.

One patient with several Disc Bulges in both the Cervical and Lumbar spine returned to a strenuous job with the state highway department, repairing steel girders along the interstate. Even though he is the oldest individual on his crew, he says the younger guys complain that they can’t keep up with him now.

Another patient with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy can now feel his feet & walk without looking down at the ground. In fact, his balance is so much better he can now walk without a cane after having to use one for several years.

A patient with severe Degenerative Disc Disease and disc Bulges/Herniations in the Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar spine–complicated by Peripheral Neuropathy of the hands and feet–can now tilt his head back to drink, while he had to use a straw the past 5 years. He can now turn his head side-to-side to see cross traffic as he is driving instead of asking his wife for assistance as before. He now is able to bend and flex his lower back, keep his balance, and lift moderate weight. On top of all that, he is now walking 1/2 mile at a time two times a day, when initially he could not walk 1/2 block without stopping due to the pain and exhaustion. He spends his winters in Florida & the rest of the year at his home in Central Illinois, pursuing many different types of activities on a daily basis. He stated that he now enjoys being retired.

Another patient had been in a wheelchair for 18 months. After 3 months of care, he entered the building with a walker then cast it away as he entered the therapy area and walked approximately 25 feet under his own power.

Others who could barely walk without a cane or walker and were suffering from constant, daily pain and disability when they first came through my door, have similarly returned to walking without their assistance and resumed work or activities they love such as exercise walking, running, tennis, lifting weights and even golf!

You can read more and view videos of what my patients have to say in their own words here on our Success Stories page. Needless to say, it has been very gratifying to CRACK THE CODE (of their conditions) and be able to help people GET THEIR LIVES BACK in this way!

Some programs are performed in the office, others in the comfort and convenience of their homes. Patients tell us the treatment is comfortable. In fact, many patients even fall asleep during treatment sessions and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to “meet the day”. The average length of care for these types of chronic conditions is between 2-6 months, depending upon the cause and severity problem. A major plus with this type of care is there is usually no downtime or missed work.

Patient Restrictions

Patients are merely restricted from strenuous activities during the first couple of months during the treatment program. If necessary, you will be recommended and provided nutritional and structural support to ensure maximum relief and long-term effectiveness.

What about lost time at work? Most individuals are able to continue with their employment during one of my recommended treatment programs. Depending on the patient’s pain, flexibility, and stability, only the most strenuous activities are restricted. As a result, there is minimal, if any, lost time at work during the recovery program, minimizing or preventing loss of income.

Response to initial care and follow-up: The results are typically gradual, cumulative, and usually long-term with maximum relief attained within a matter of months . . . It is important to note these degenerative conditions take years to develop, so they do not heal overnight. We will ensure you achieve maximum strength, balance, and flexibility in order to allow you to resume as active and strenuous a life-style as possible. This will be likely be the level of activity you choose, rather than the limitations your present condition dictates. Once treatment is completed, you will be recommended maintenance care or dismissed from care completely, depending on your progress and lifestyle.

Because some of these procedures are relatively new & delegated as elective procedures, they are not typically covered by major medical insurance; although that is slowly changing with coverage now in Auto Accident Med-Pay, Workman Compensation & Federal Government BCBS Insurances.

As a result, our treatment and recovery programs are often provided on a cash basis. However, compared to the cost of many traditional insurance deductibles and co-pays, our treatment plans are still VERY affordable for most patients. Many people do not consider the cost of allowing their condition to further deteriorate. There is a cost to accommodating the loss of function (i.e. ramps to your home, lift chairs, special safety equipment in bathrooms, additional prescriptions to mask symptoms, missed activities with loved ones, etc.). Our aim is to help you SAVE money and MAXIMIZE your activity level by healing the root causes of your condition.

In order to make this treatment available to people of any means, we offer significant prepayment discounts. Further, for those who qualify, we offer a variety of financing options to ensure you can afford the relief you need and deserve.

Qualifying For Care

Now for some potentially bad news … not everyone qualifies for care here. We accept patients with specific conditions and who exhibit a high level of commitment to follow all recommendations. If our clinic is not a good match for you, we will certainly do our best to refer you to someone who may be able to help you. The only way to know for sure if you’re a candidate is to call and set an appointment for a brief phone consultation with Dr. Gossett, which is provided at no cost. If appropriate, he may recommend an in-person initial visit for you and your spouse or supportive loved one to both attend.

This visit will include a case review of your medical history (previous doctors’ tests, treatment, results) and an in-depth orthopedic-neurologic exam to uncover the root cause of your symptoms. This will enable Dr. Gossett to arrive at an accurate, definitive diagnosis... all at a very reasonable cost.

Upon completion of the in-depth examination, Dr. Gossett will determine whether or not you are a candidate for treatment he offers. This will be followed by a STRATEGY SESSION to explain the exam results, prognosis, and possible customized treatment recommendations. The exact cost of treatment for your case as well as how you can pay for it will be covered at this time. If we can help you, we will go over everything you need to know and get you started so you can begin to feel better as soon as possible. If you’re not a candidate, we will do our best to refer you to someone else who might be able to help you.

So, call us at (217) 351-8040 today, to schedule your phone consultation and discover whether you may be a candidate for our care. Again, sooner than you think, you could be back to enjoying a more healthy, active, pain-free life!

I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,
Dr. TK Gossett

PS … We always recommend you bring an additional friend or family member with you so you have all the support you need. They will also be able to help you make a decision about any possible recommended care.

We also invite new patients to bring someone along who is suffering from some type of chronic condition. They may simply “sit in” on the consultation/exam to have an opportunity to meet Dr. Gossett to help them decide whether they would like an appointment for themselves at a later date.

If you are suffering needlessly with YOUR chronic condition, especially when it may well be treatable with modern medical advances, I encourage you to take this 1st step . . . call us today at (217) 351-8040 and set up your free phone consultation right now!
