Tennis Elbow Tulsa, Oklahoma, Peterson Clinic of Chiropractic

Dr. Michael Peterson is a licensed Chiropractor in the state of Oklahoma. He is a member of the Gonstead Clinical Studies Society and has received specialized training in Active Release Technique® and Mally's Decompressive Manipulation. Dr. Peterson is also trained in Independent Medical Examinations by Dr. Stanley Kaplan. He was recently certified as a Spinal Decompression Provider by Axiom Worldwide using the DRX9000 for back pain and spinal conditions like sciatica and spinal stenosis. He has been practicing in the Tulsa area for over 20 years. A specialist in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, cumulative trauma disorders of the upper extremity, lower extremity disorders, neck disorders and low back disorders, Dr. Peterson gets lasting relief for many of his patients.

Dr. Peterson uses the Active Release Technique® in his treatment of most conditions. The Active Release Technique® Soft Tissue Management System provides a way to diagnose and treat acute injuries that may cause symptoms of numbness, tingling, burning and pain. This technique is used in conjunction with chiropractic adjustment to address the many roles of soft tissues in injuries. This is the only myofascial release technique utilized by chiropractors that is credentialed through a medical college.

It is Dr. Peterson's belief as a healthcare provider that it is his responsibility to provide his patients with the best possible care available. Over the past 13 years, his practice has focused on the field of worker's compensation, where he has specialized in the treatment of cumulative trauma disorders. His high success rate in returning patients to pre-injury status with little to no permanent impairment allows him to offer chiropractic care as a low cost alternative to traditional medical treatment. By evaluating all aspects of a claimant's injury from proper ergonomics to preventative post-release stretching exercises, Dr. Peterson has reduced the need for temporary total disability and permanent partial disability. Dr. Peterson has successfully treated athletes for spine strain injuries utilizing Active Release Technique® which results in rapid recovery. He has also graciously been given the opportunity to provide Active Release Technique® protocols for Oklahoma State University athletes.
