DRS Protocol
The DRS Protocol is a non-surgical spinal decompression therapy designed to relieve back and neck pain by alleviating pressure on intervertebral discs. Utilizing advanced technology, this treatment promotes disc healing and nerve decompression, offering an alternative to surgery for herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative conditions. Patients experience gradual pain reduction and restored mobility through targeted, pain-free sessions.
Neuropathy Treatment
Busch Neuropathy Protocol addresses peripheral neuropathy symptoms like numbness and burning pain through infrared therapy and photomodulation. This non-invasive approach stimulates nerve repair and improves circulation, targeting diabetes-related neuropathy and chemotherapy-induced nerve damage. Patients report reduced pain and improved quality of life without pharmaceutical dependency.
Knee Pain Treatment
The Busch Stem Cell Stimulation Protocol uses low-level light therapy and shockwave treatment to reduce knee inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. This alternative to surgery addresses arthritis, meniscus tears, and cartilage damage, enhancing joint mobility and accelerating recovery without invasive procedures or corticosteroid injections.
Digital Motion X-Ray
Digital Motion X-Ray captures real-time joint movement to diagnose soft tissue injuries undetectable by traditional imaging. This technology identifies ligament damage and abnormal joint motion in personal injury cases, enabling precise treatment planning for whiplash, sports injuries, and chronic instability.
Balance Protocol
The Balance Protocol improves stability and coordination for seniors and injury recovery patients. Through targeted neuromuscular retraining, this therapy reduces fall risk by addressing inner ear dysfunction, proprioception deficits, and musculoskeletal imbalances, restoring confidence in daily activities.

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!
