It’s the strong urge to help his patients that has kept Dr. Lyle Tvedt passionate about his chiropractic practice in Ripon. Now with a new goal to make a difference for allergy sufferers as well, he is expanding his practice.
A co-founder of Save Mart Markets - the late Nick Toco of Ceres - was Tvedt’s first patient in February of 1978. Hundreds have walked through his office door over the years, using crutches and walkers. Having seen so many of them walk back out of his office on their own, has given him a feeling of accomplishment, he said.
His Ripon practice has served some 8,000 patients since opening its doors over 30 years ago.
Tvedt and his wife Judy have not been strangers to the Ripon community over the last three generations -- Judy being his right hand and officer manager and very involved in Ripon Soroptimists. Tvedt has also been a long-time member of the Ripon Lions Club.
The couple has been married 39 years this year, first meeting on a blind date in the mid ‘60s. He said they were both skeptical of blind dates set up by friends.
The Ripon chiropractor is one of eight practitioners in the entire state who is offering the advanced laser technology - BAX 3000 - that promises to provide relief of allergy symptoms by balancing both sides of the brain.
“An allergy is not a disease but an inappropriate (brain) response to a normal substance,” Tvedt said. Often times the brain “is out of balance” through past physical, emotional or mental trauma, he added.
Tvedt said the laser technology has been in the works for the last 17 years, but it has only been available for the last 14 months.
