In addition to traditional chiropractic care for injuries and chronic pain, Dr. Touchinsky has a growing practice for those that can benefit from doctor guided health and lifestyle counseling (also known as health coaching/counseling or wellness coaching/counseling).
Overall, Schuylkill County suffers from a shortage of health care providers. Due to this shortage, most doctors do not have the time it requires to sufficiently implement and monitor a health and lifestyle counseling program. They do all they can just to help the sick and injured.
So, Dr. Touchinsky has decided to fill this much-needed role. Through his educational background and countless hours of post-graduate study, he has designed programs for people who can benefit from a change in lifestyle. There is no shortage of research showing certain components of a healthy lifestyle can improve peoples’ health and help them prevent and in some cases even reverse disease, and Dr. Touchinsky wishes to teach this information to anyone willing to listen.
If you have been diagnosed with a lifestyle related disease, have had ‘abnormal’ blood test results, have been told you are at high risk of problems like diabetes, heart disease, etc., or if you just don’t feel as well as you should, call 570-366-2613 and schedule a free consultation with Dr. Touchinsky to find out what he can do for you.
Fees vary depending on the type of counseling you need, but the average case is as follows:
1. Free initial consult to determine if you are a good candidate for the program.
2. Initial Visit – Introduce program, take baseline measurements (body fat percentage, waist and hip measurements, weight, etc.), discuss goals, etc.
3. Intensive Follow Up – Weekly sessions, once a week for four weeks to get people started on the right path. Includes booklet and journal that can be followed to track progress and goals. Includes unlimited email support.
4. Regular Follow Up – One session per month on an ongoing basis. This is to continue to monitor progress, address concerns and questions, and reassess goals. Includes unlimited email support.
