Specialty Services in Durango, CO

Why race across town to dentists you don’t know? We provide comprehensive, specialized dental care in one familiar place.

At Dr. Rothchild’s dental practice, east meets west. For an integrative approach to your treatment, we may use acupuncture as an adjunct to mild sedation, dental anesthesia, pain control, and TMJ pain.

Another alternative therapy and optional adjunct is MPS Therapy (Microcurrent Point Stimulation). This therapy integrates acupuncture, microcurrent therapy, cranial osteopathic techniques, intramuscular stimulation, trigger point treatment, and neural therapy.

Osteopathic health care is the philosophy that the body has mechanisms and substances that, if given the opportunity, will establish balance and recreate health. Restrictions to the harmonious functioning of these processes can cause disease. By relieving these restrictions to proper motion, the body has the ability to restore harmonious function.
