Acupuncture
 Acupuncture
balances the body's "qi" or vital force, to optimize
its flow. Thin stainless steel disposable needles are inserted
into specific points along the body's energetic pathways or
meridians. Most people find the treatments relaxing and
energizing. Chinese herbal formulas help prolong and enhance
the benefits of acupuncture treatments.
Acupuncture originated in China over 3,000 years ago and is
presently used as a primary health care modality throughout
the world. Thin, sterile, disposable, stainless steel needles
are used to direct and stimulate energy flow (known as Qi) to
create balance in one's natural energetic patterns.
Traditional Chinese medicine views disease as the result of an
imbalance or blockage in the body's natural energy flow. Such
imbalances manifest in physical, emotional, and psychosomatic
stress-related disorders. By stimulating specific points on
the body, acupuncture disperses blockages in the energy flow,
allowing the body/mind/spirit to function optimally, enhancing
physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Also included in traditional therapies are nutritional and
lifestyle assessments, as well as suggestions for supportive
herbal or homeopathic remedies, Oriental massage techniques,
and moxibustion (technique of stimulating acupuncture points
with heat). Traditional Chinese Medicine recognizes that
aches, pains, and other disease conditions are only symptoms
of a deeper, underlying imbalance and takes the whole person
into account (not just the symptoms) in developing
individualized treatment plans.

chronic and acute disorders, as acknowledged by the World
Health Organization:

Allergy Elimination
Natural allergy desensitization is a non-invasive method of
eliminating sensitivities to foods, chemicals or environmental
substances. The treatment process incorporates acupuncture or
acupressure and applied kinesiology (or computerized
sensitivity screening) and uses one or more of the following
protocols: - NAET-Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination
Technique -original natural allergy desensitization
technique, addresses 10 basic nutrients before chemicals or
environmental substances. BioSET -emphasizes digestion,
assimilation, and detoxification. JMT-Jaffe-Mellor
Technique focuses on clearing pathogenic factors that
could lead to arthritis, degenerative joint disease, MS, and
Crohn's Disease. GIFTS Program examines the role metabolic
factors play in the body. All of these techniques are
processes of retraining body and brain to react appropriately
to substances/issues rather than to react inappropriately.

Chiropractic
The body has the ability to heal itself when there is no
interference within the nervous system. Chiropractic care
focuses on restoring proper nerve function so that optimal
health & vitality can be achieved.
Chiropractic is a safe, effective, natural approach to obtain
a state of optimum health. The chiropractic philosophy
recognizes that there is an internal wisdom, “innate
intelligence,” within each of us that creates, develops and
maintains our existence and regulates our state of health.
This innate wisdom is housed within the vertebral column and
communicates with all parts of our body via the nervous
system.
The nervous system sends messages from our brains to every
cell, tissue, and organ in our body. When a vertebra in the
spinal column misaligns due to a trauma, toxin, or thought it
causes interference in the nervous system. The message it is
sending no longer reaches the designated body part; this
results in both structural and energetic problems in the body’s
natural function. When the spinal vertebra is repositioned and
proper nerve flow is regained, these problems/conditions can
heal.
Most known for treating back pain, joint pain, headaches,
etc., chiropractic treatment also aligns imbalances that may
underlie many chronic disorders. Chiropractic has been found
useful in treating:
- Allergies
- Arthuritis
- Asthma
- ADD/ADHD
- Back
pain
- Carpal
Tunnel
- Depression
|
- Digestive
disturbances
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Infertility
- Joint
pain
- Menopausal
Symptoms
- Menstrual
Disorders
|
- Neck

- Sciatica
- Shoulder
Pain
- Sinusitis
- Stress
- TMJ
problems

Chiropractic is a
safe and effective treatment for people of all ages whether
they are symptomatic or simply seeking better overall health
and quality of life.

Computerized Health Assessment
 An exciting new approach to health
assessment is revolutionizing the way health care
practitioners work with clients. Computerized Health
Assessment (also known as Electrodermal Screening) is a safe,
highly individualized method of measuring the body's
electrical conductivity at acupuncture "endpoints"
on the fingers and toes. Using this method, the health of all
organs, glands and tissues can be evaluated. Furthermore, the
body's response to a remedy can be measured before
administering it. This minimizes unpleasant reactions and
helps identify key solutions that direct the body's healing
processes. The test is quick, painless and you don't even have
to get undressed!
One particularly useful application of this new technology is
sensitivity testing. A large array of foods and environmental
allergens can be tested quickly and accurately allowing the
individual to either avoid the allergen or begin allergy
elimination treatment.
Many chronic health problems may be the result of underlying
toxicity. Computerized Health Assessment uncovers the core
causes of today's health concerns. Disorders such as
fibromyalgia, arthritis, chronic fatigue, depression, hormonal
imbalance and recurrent infection are often dramatically
improved once the underlying toxin is identified and
detoxification begun.
Treatment may include:
- Nutritional or lifestyle
adjustment
- herbal remedies
- flower essences
- homeopathy
- nutritional supplements
- digestive enzymes
