“Removing healing-blocks gives life quality.”
This simple statement sums up Dr. Winters mission in his practice as well as his personal life. Dr. Winters' own journey to health has given him the passion to lead others to the same goal.
Though it may sound like a cliche, Dr. Winters truly did learn the value of hard work while growing up on a farm in Northwest Iowa. He also played college football during his freshman and sophomore years. However, after taking a daily antibiotic for acne during those first college years, his health steadily declined. Fatigue set in to the point that he lost his position on the football team. Brain fog took this A/B student to a C/D status for the first time ever. Some days even the simple act of sitting up in bed caused severe dizziness. He had no choice but to drop out of school.
Medical physicians could not diagnose his problems, but a trip to the chiropractor proved to be much more successful. After regular chiropractic adjustments, changes in his diet, and the addition of nutritional supplements, strength began to return to his body.
It was a slow road to recovery, but Dr. Winters desired for others in his situation to find recovery as well. When he was able to return to school, he enrolled in Palmer College of Chiropractic and graduated at the top of his class. After learning of a distant chiropractor relative in Paducah, Kentucky, Dr. Winters came for a visit and never left the area. He has been in practice at his current location since 1987.

In 2001 he married his beautiful wife Debbie, who has become an invaluable asset to their clinic in both administrative and chiropractic arenas. Dr. and Mrs. Winters attend an average of six seminars each year in order to remain at the forefront of progress in the field of chiropractic and total body health.
Dr. Winters has studied under the tutelage of wellness physicians such as Dr. John Brimhall (Six Steps to Wellness), Dr. Tedd Koren (Koren Specific Technique), Dr.Dan Pompa (Cellular Healing Diet), and Dr. Patrick Flynn (Functional Medicine).
Though Dr. Winters has been in practice for over 25 years, his passion for learning new techniques has never diminished. It is not only his belief in wellness chiropractic that keeps him motivated. He truly desires to see others recover from disease and illness.
Watching his own mother battle Alzheimer's disease in a nursing home ignites a fire inside him to spread this message of health and wellness to the people of Paducah and around the world. |
At Winters Wellness, we seek to treat the whole body. This means we do not simply “crack your back” or only address back and neck pain. We employ many different cutting edge techniques in our treatment that address ailments on physical, mental and emotional levels.
25 years of experience and thousands of hours of continuing education have convinced us that a comprehensive approach to health is what is needed for people to reach the highest possible level of wellness.
We follow Dr. John Brimhallʼs Six Steps to Wellness as we explore structural/nerve interference, electromagnetic pollution, nutritional deficiencies, allergies/sensitivities, emotional patterns, and heavy metal toxicity. We also offer customized nutrition programs which are based on the results of functional testing.
The specific method of chiropractic adjustments we employ allows us to determine the patientʼs own unique physical and emotional priorities for their healing. With Koren Specific Technique, an extremely light amount of pressure results in phenomenal changes in the nervous system. At Winters Wellness we follow Dr. John Brimhall's 6 Steps to Wellness. He contends that each of the following areas can interfere with our health and the ability to recover:
• Structural/Nerve Interference
• Electromagnetic Pollution
• Nutritional Imbalances
• Allergies/Sensitivities
• Emotional Stress
• Toxicity Levels
Step 1: Remove Structural/Nerve Interference
In our office we use Koren Specific Technique--a unique breakthrough form of care--to quickly analyze your spine, cranial bones and extremeties for nerve stress and very gently make corrections, often while standing or sitting. The instrument we use is unbelievably gentle, yet powerfully effective, because of the neurological priniples it uses. We are frankly seeing the most profound healing experiences of my 25 year career by using this form of structural and nerve interference removal.
Step 2: Remove Electromagnetic Pollution
While we can't see electromagnetic fields, they are very real and measurable. For some people, they create a disturbance to their body which contributes to fatigue and cellular stress. We have several inexpensive tools to help with this.
Step 3: Rebalance Nutrition
Through our educational programs we teach the dietary changes that are needed to combat the onslaught of 21st Century degenerative diseases. We also provide supplementation with highly effective synergistic formulations from professional grade companies. This ensures you are getting a highly researched and independently tested product manufactured without preservatives, colorings, additives, flavorings or stabalizers. For chronic health issues and prevention of disease we find Spectracell testing the very best way to assess vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other micronutrients. For acute health issues we employ reflex and computerized methods to determine the most appropriate supplementation.
Step 4: Reduce Allergies and Sensitivities
We use a technique known as the Allergy Sensitization Elimination and Reprograming Technique (ASERT) to help with allergies. We can also order bloodwork for both immediate and delayed food allergies.
Step 5: Remove Stuck Emotional Patterns and Limiting Beliefs
Any time we are stressed and unable to fully process an emotion at the time it occurs, it essentially gets buried in our body. It has been said that feelings buried alive never die. Our body and mind is like a computer. You are able to change something on your computer only when you bring it up on the screen. Likewise, we can bring up an emotion, and then with an adjustment (or energy balancing technique), break the connection between that emotion and the body's stress response. This can happen very quickly and we have seen amazing results in peoples lives as a result of this.
Step 6: Remove Heavy Metals and Other Toxins
To reduce toxicity levels we use nutritional supplements, homeopathic formulas, the EB PRO energy balancer foot bath, and the High Tech far infrared sauna. At Winters Wellness we offer a unique, breakthrough approach to patient care called Koren Specific Technique (KST). There is no twisting, turning, “cracking” or “popping” of joints with KST. Instead, you receive very gentle, specific corrections to your spine and structural system. With this technique we are able to adjust all areas of the body with very light force.
Correcting Subluxations
We are correcting a serious form of nerve stress caused by distortions or misalignments in your spine and body structure. This stress or misalignment is known as subluxation. Subluxations can cause physical and mental/emotional malfunction. They are often associated with loss of energy, pain, weakness and disease of all types. Because your Central Nervous System controls the function of your entire body, any stress or interference on your spinal cord and nervous system will result in lowered function of the body as a whole.
What Causes Subluxations?
Subluxations may be caused by physical, chemical, or emotional stress or trauma. These can come in the form of slips, falls, auto accidents, childhood traumas or even the birthing process itself. Our purpose in this office is to remove this stress from your body so that you may function at a higher level of health.
Gentle, Yet Powerful
Koren Specific Technique is a very gentle process that results in powerful changes in the body. Patients usually notice dramatic changes even after the first visit. Your body will likely hold its corrections for a much longer time with KST, allowing you to go for longer periods between adjustments. The arthrostim instrument we use with KST taps at 12 times per second--the same rate of firing in the area of the brain that controls the
muscles. This allows a ridiculously light force to result in huge change in the nervous system. We find that children especially like to be corrected in this manner--many even say it tickles! Infants often smile during the procedure due to the soothing vibration.
How It Works
During each session, your structural system is scanned for subluxations as a certain body part is gently moved in various directions. If a that body part is out of its correct position, we will notice on your scan that the base of your skull (your occipital bone) will drop lightly on the left. This is called the occipital drop (OD) and is a binary neurological biofeedback device. That body part is then corrected and moved back into its proper position.
Retracing
Patients often experience retracing as deep, unhealthy stresses leave their body. This is an essential aspect of the journey toward health and wellness. At each session we correct the issues that your body is expressing at that time. Older injuries, distortions, subluxations and symptoms (both physical & emotional) may surface at later sessions. The release of old injuries is part of the healing process. On occasion, patients will experience “cleansing” symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, rash, etc. as their body rids itself of toxins and stresses.
Postures
A major advantage of KST is that it permits you to be analyzed and adjusted in different postures: standing, sitting, lying down, etc. This is very important as some subluxation can only be observed when you are in a certain posture. For example, if your injuries are due to an auto accident, your subluxations may only be revealed and completely corrected while you are in a seated position.
