Dr. Kish designs his treatment for each individual based on what the patient's short and long term goals are. Some people want symptom relief, while most people want to correct their problem as much as their body will allow, and then to maintain that level of function.

Dr. Kish uses dozens of techniques to treat patients, depending on each persons specific needs. His treatment beyond chiropractic adjustments may include: disc traction therapy, deep muscle release techniques, stretching and toning exercises, integrative muscle therapy and rehabilitative exercise techniques. Dr. Kish also uses physical therapy modalities including TENS, micro current Interferential therapy, Ultrasound and heat/cold. Custom bed foot orthotics are also made in his office for people with a wide variety of foot, ankle, knee, hip and back disorders.

After identifying the causative factors of an individuals' problem, Dr. Kish works with the patient to begin to reverse the damage done to their body. This acute phase of treatment is designed to minimize the symptoms ( pain and inflammation ) and restore motion back toward normal. This usually involves remobilizing the tightened muscle tissue, adjusting the spine and/ or extremities, and instructing the patient on stretching exercises, ice application, lifestyle advise, ergonomic advise, and water and diet requirements. Once the patient is through the acute phase of treatment, Dr. Kish will begin the rehabilitative phase ( Rehab) of treatment. Rehab is designed to strengthen and reintegrate body balance to keep the injured area stable. Rehab may include isometric and isokinetic exercises, circuit weight training, integrative exercise, cardiovascular exercise, specific muscle group strengthening, postural rebalancing, physioball exercise and foot orthotics when needed.
