Orthopedic Pillows and Supports

We have orthopedic supplies from pillows to supports and braces available in stock or we can order them specifically for you. The purpose of these supplies are to help assist your body in maintaining proper support and alignment to prevent further wear and tear on your body.

One size does not always fit all! Make sure your pillow supports your spine correctly. Come test our pillows to see if we have the right fit for you.

• The chiroflow (water) pillow improves quality of sleep by adjusting to changes in sleeping positions while supporting the head and neck. The heavier head will compress the water and thereby pushing into less resistance which will allow the neck to receive the support it needs in the most comfortable way.
• The Tri-Core pillow supports the spine and neck for side and back sleepers. There are two sizes for the different positions and also for smaller and larger statures. We also carry the sleep smart pillow which is less aggressive than the Tri-Core while offering similar benefits.
• Leg spacer pillows help relieve pressure and strain on the lower back, knees and ankles. Lumbar supports assist in achieving correct posture for the office and car.
• Other supports and braces for specific conditions ranging from tendinitis to back strains are available and recommended after a complete exam and diagnosis.

TENS Units in West Haven UT

"TENS" is the acronym for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. A "TENS unit" is a pocket size, portable, battery-operated device that sends electrical impulses to certain muscles of the body to block pain signals. The electrical currents produced are mild, but can prevent pain messages from being transmitted to the brain and may raise the level of endorphins (natural pain killers produced by the brain). These units are a must have in most households and must be prescribed by Dr. Tolman or another physician. The units may be purchased to use as directed or can also be rented for monthly use upon availability and need.

Supplementation

We recommend using whole foods to nourish the body and give the essential nutrients necessary to heal and maintain health. Many of us live in a fast paced world where our lifestyles have lost the way of all natural foods prepared from scratch. If we choose to eat the Standard American Diet (SAD diet) because it's easier and convenient, then we should also be seeking high quality, nutrient dense supplements to make up for our nutrient deficiency.

Our office has partnered with Standard Process, a high quality, whole food supplement and herbal support company that gives excellent support for the best healing and maintaining of health. Dr. Tolman is trained and has continued his knowledge on all the latest nutritional research so he can give the best recommendations according to each individual needs.

We also understand the necessity of fish oil supplementation for every patient because of the benefits to pregnant women, mothers and children, patients who suffer with depression and inflammation and even dementia. High quality fish oil that is molecularly distilled from contaminates should only be used. Many big box stores carry low quality products that will not deliver the quantity of Omega 3's needed. Contact our office for more information on how we can serve you and your family in meeting your nutritional deficiencies.

Top 3 nutrients we should all consider taking in addition to a complex food supplement:

• Omega 3 fatty acids: 1-3 grams per day.
• Vitamin D3: 1000-5000 IU's per day
• Probiotics: Live culture or high quality/quantity product daily for 2 weeks every 3-6 months.

Specific protocols of herbs and food concentrate supplements from Standard Process can be recommended for patients or those consulting for nutritional counseling.
