Dr. Llaird Likens provides relief to veterans
Care for veterans can be hard to find, and their pain is often difficult to treat.
Look no further. Dr. Llaird Likens of Navarre Chiropractic has been providing non-opioid pain solutions for the Veterans Administration in the Navarre area for several years.
“One of the most gratifying and satisfying aspects of my life’s work is to be able to help the veterans of my community live a fuller life with less or no pain,” Likens said.
The blending of several chiropractic techniques over the years and decades of application has given Dr. Likens the ability to help hundreds of local veterans with permanent impairments live and enjoy a more active and fuller life with less or no pain medication.
The non-invasive care system is built on his unique combination of skills and resources which include multiple Chiropractic techniques, Acupuncture, manually and electrically stimulated Dry Needling, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, manual and mechanical Myofascial, Neuromuscular Reeducation, Applied Kinesiology, Chiropractic Biophysics, Massage Therapy, Spinal Decompression, and Therapeutic Modalities. While you may not recognize many or most of these treatments, they represent Dr. Likens’ dedication to more than 1,000 post graduate hours of education and certifications beyond that of his Bachelor of Science in human biology, a Doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine, and 22 years of practice experience.
His areas of achievement include certifications and fellowships from Southern California University of Health in Whiplash and Brain Traumatology, Texas Chiropractic College in Permanent Impairment for Disability, Logan College of Chiropractic and The International Academy of Medical Acupuncture in Acupuncture, and The International College of Applied Kinesiology.
Dr. Likens is a VA Optum provider and his treatments are referred and covered by the Veteran’s Administration to veterans with a 50% or greater disability.
“I have found that there is no single system of care that works the same for every patient. Similar injuries, ailments, or conditions will affect each of us differently because we are each unique, and none of our circumstances or mechanisms of injury are exactly the same,” Likens said. “This is why it takes knowing so many methods of treatment and how they work in combination with each other to be able to treat each patient as an individual.”
