What are Therapeutic Modalities?

Moist heat – Moist heat will penetrate deep into the tissues to relax muscles that are tight and is best before treatments to loosen muscles and joints.
Electrical stimulation – This modality is used by placing 4 pads surrounding an affected area and will lightly contract and relax the muscles with the ultimate goal of relaxing the muscles and tissues. It can be used with heat or ice for best results depending on the condition.
Cold laser – Laser is used to increase healing at a cellular level and can be used for most conditions but works especially well with ligament and cartilage injuries(ankles, knees, TMJ), and carpal tunnel.
Ultrasound – Ultrasound works best in reducing chronic inflammation that will be present in chronic injuries.
Ice – Ice is great to reduce inflammation for new injuries or any other inflammatory conditions.

This place is great! I've always had back pain but started getting a pain in my neck a few months ago and started coming to Dr. Bell. Wow, it has made such an improvement! I've been going twice a week (that seems like a lot to me), but I'm sure once I get the neck pain under control I will spread my appointments out a little more. But, I'm totally hooked! I'll come as often as he thinks I need just to feel this relief. The staff is amazing and super friendly. Every time I've been in I've seen them interact with other patients and are just so sweet to everyone! This is a great place, anyone from Martinez should use them as the go to chiropractor.

I will start this review off with I am a Chiropractor. Dr Dietzen has a specialty that I once did not know much about, nor did I know its effectiveness. My daughter broke her leg about 5 plus weeks ago and has been out of a cast for about a week. She has been limping and cautious about her leg even though she was having no symptoms. I took her to Dr Dietzen and he check and adjusted her with KST and within 24 hours my daughter caution and limp was nearly gone. She was happier and more confident in her leg. I love chiropractic and its ability to help people heal and Dr Dietzen has that extra something that should be shared. Thank you Dr Dietzen for helping my daughter.

I feel really good right now. Finally. Once again, Dr Dietzen has worked his magic. And I sense that his practice has shifted and deepened somewhat since my last visit. If you’ve never seen him, Dr. Dietzen is like very few chiropractors out there. He takes time, he listens, his office is calm, when he works with you he is present and grounded. This is chiropractic of the future. This is how everyone wishes to be treated.
COMBAT INFANTRY SERGEANT
I served as a Combat Infantry Sergeant during World War II, fighting from Normandy Beach to Germany. While continuously diving for cover, I severely traumatized my neck. Since then, I’ve suffered chronic pain and a disabling lack of motion in my cervical spine.
LOUIS B., M.D.
Over the years, I have tried treatments of all kinds. None has ever provided more than very temporary relief. My treatment with Dr. Dietzen, on the other hand, has completely resolved my cervical pain and I no longer have the limitation of motion I have suffered with since returning from the war. I wish I had found Dr. Dietzen years ago. His expertise and specialized techniques have solved my problem.

Dr. Dietzen asks the right questions and is an astute listener, so he can apply a thorough approach in treating and solving the problem. I have had lower back pain for over a year. It was a constant annoyance and aggravating, often putting me in a bad mood. The severity of my symptoms decreased dramatically and is trending in the right direction!

Dr. Dietzen’s open-heartedness and mastery made it easier for me to feel comfortable and get better. Before treatment, I was having trouble picking up my 8-month-old – and growing – grandson. Now, I have confidence in my body’s ability to heal and maintain corrections. Such a relief. I am incredibly happy that I found Dr. Dietzen. He is one in a million.
JESSICA F.
I have never had a doctor take as much time with me as Dr. Dietzen. He is very warm and friendly, and made me feel very comfortable.
DR. ASAD
I initially sought care for headaches and fatigue, which had kept me from focusing 100 percent at work. I heard Dr. Dietzen speak at an event, went in for treatment, and now my headaches are fully resolved, and as a bonus, my digestion has improved.

His upper cervical chiropractic care has been wonderful for the vertigo I was experiencing. He’s been informative about how the body works and heals.

When I initially reached out to you in late August of this year – it was truly out of desperation and not knowing what else to do! It was hard seeing my mother in so much pain, her not able to tend to her garden, and her love for travel made it impossible due to the state of pain that she was in. Her shoulders, back, hips, legs, feet, everything! Her whole body was so tight from trying to manage the pain that her spine was out of alignment even more so. At the time my mother was only seeing an acupuncturist but the pain still continued. We passed your office several times after appointments and I wondered…. I read many of your YELP reviews from other patients and decided to make the call. I reached out initially via email and then followed up with a phone call. I was honestly surprised and touched that a practitioner would reach out so quickly. After receiving your email and speaking with you – your calm and nurturing voice gave me hope and couldn’t wait to get my mother in to meet with you. With my mother being a retired RN she was impressed with your methodical plan of care that you presented. Well, it’s been about a 7-week journey and what a turnaround! From my mother hunched over, with every step she took she suffered excruciating pain, and tears in her eyes – I thought is this how she is going to live for the rest of her life? With your heartfelt and empathetic approach along with positive words of encouragement – advising my mother that to also help with the recovery it comes from oneself and you have to believe. She held onto those words tightly, did here exercises, and believed! Thank you! She is going on vacation next week and she will be able to continue to experience her love for travel! You are the BEST!
