What happens at my first visit?
Your first visit is a consultation and evaluation. Dr. A, Dr. J, or a member of our team reviews your health history and goals, then assesses you with tools such as range-of-motion testing, posture checks, and thermal imaging when appropriate. We explain the findings and tell you whether our care is a good fit before any treatment plan begins.
Who do you help?
Adults in Cheyenne and across southeast Wyoming dealing with peripheral neuropathy, knee and joint pain, back and neck pain, sciatica, and disc problems, plus people who want personalized nutrition and whole-body wellness care. Many patients drive in from within about two hours of Cheyenne, especially for our neuropathy care. That includes Laramie, Wheatland, Burns, Pine Bluffs, Chugwater, Guernsey, Torrington, and Douglas in Wyoming; Kimball, Sidney, Scottsbluff, Gering, and Bridgeport in Nebraska; and Fort Collins, Wellington, Windsor, Loveland, Greeley, Longmont, and Sterling in northern Colorado.
Is there a drug-free option for peripheral neuropathy?
Many people with numb, tingling, or burning feet want to know whether anything besides medication can help. At Althoff Wellness Clinic in Cheyenne, our team starts with a thorough evaluation to look for what may be contributing to your symptoms. You may see Dr. A or Dr. J, depending on your needs. Then we explain whether drug-free, non-surgical care is a reasonable option for you. It is not right for everyone, and we will tell you if it is not a fit.
What is spinal decompression?
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that uses a specialized table to gently stretch the spine. It is designed to reduce pressure on spinal discs and nerves. We offer decompression for both the low back and the neck (cervical spine), and it may be considered for disc-related back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and numbness or tingling in the arms or legs. Your doctor will tell you after your evaluation whether it fits your case.
Do you offer SoftWave or shockwave therapy in Cheyenne?
Yes. Althoff Wellness Clinic offers SoftWave, a type of shockwave therapy, at our Cheyenne clinic. It uses acoustic sound waves applied over the painful area and is non-invasive, with no needles or medication. We most often consider it for knee, shoulder, hip, and foot pain, including plantar fasciitis, as part of a broader care plan. Your doctor will tell you after your evaluation whether SoftWave is a good fit for you.
What is thermal imaging, and why do you use it?
Thermal imaging uses a camera to map the surface temperature of your skin. In the feet, it can show temperature differences that help us understand circulation and nerve-related patterns. It is one part of a neuropathy evaluation, not a diagnosis on its own, and it is painless.
Do you offer care at home as well as in the clinic?
For neuropathy patients, yes. Most care happens in our Cheyenne clinic, and some neuropathy patients also use at-home care between visits. Depending on what you need, that may include a home neurostimulator, a Class II laser, or whole-body vibration. Every plan is different and is based on your evaluation.
Do you take insurance?
Yes, we accept insurance. Some of our services are covered and some are not. What is covered depends on the root cause of your symptoms and the care that is the best fit for you, so we will know after your thorough examination. For services your plan reimburses, we provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance.
