MODALITIES
Nutrition Response Testing: This is an analysis and personalized health improvement program (using designed clinical nutrition and supplementation). The analysis is done through testing the body's neurological reflexes, autonomic nervous system, acupuncture points, and muscle response. NRT is a study of how the different points on the surface of the body relate to a patient's state of health. NRT provides a glimpse into the body's "internal computer", which enables the practitioner to help a person resolve their health problems. Immune challenges (such as fungal problems, parasites, food allergies, active scars, bacterial/viral issues, chemical, and metal toxicity) may be identified that are causing harm to our bodies. The objective of the technique is to detoxify, fortify, and create awareness and balance in a patient's system. The fundamental principle of NRT is that a symptom can be caused by any imbalance in the body. Once the imbalance is treated properly, the symptom will disappear. NRT removes any guesswork on what supplements a patient should be taking, by revealing the client-specific nutritional protocol that will heal the patient on a cellular level. One of the nutritional companies that I work with is standard process- www.standardprocess.com. They use only whole food organic plant and animal products. Their patented protomorphogen extracts help regulate cellular metabolism and healing of the organs and cells of the body. Other companies include Douglas Laboratories, Thorne, Pure Encapsulations, Metagenics, and Allergy Research Group.
Chiropractic Adjustment (spinal manipulation): This is a specific, gentle, and precisely executed manual force directed to a joint, with the objective to restore normal motion and function.
Reiki Energy Work: Reiki is a “hands on” energy healing technique, in which the practitioner transfers energy to the client. The Reiki energy is commonly felt as subtle heat by the receiver. Reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and healing.
ChiroYoga: Chiropractic alignment and Yoga have many similar intentions. This technique uses yoga postural objectives to help facilitate healing of many spinal conditions. Restorative yoga postures and specific yoga asanas may be recommended to the patient.
BioMat: The Amethyst BioMat is a high-tech Negative Ion and Infrared Ray treatment system that emits many negative Ions and Far Infrared rays. The BioMat system is an advanced and effective product developed by a highly skilled group of scientists, medical professionals and engineers.U.S. F.D.A. Medical Device: 2954299. It is beneficial for all types of musculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, and is even being used on cancer patients. It is truly an amazing product.( www.thebiomat.com)
Traction: Spinal traction is a gentle longitudinal “pulling” of the spinal structures. Traction stretches the spinal structures, increases circulation, strengthens ligaments, decompresses the vertebral disc, and can improve the position of damaged aspects of the spine.
Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy: Myofascial trigger points are knots that develop in a muscle when it is injured, overworked, or stressed. This technique uses hands on pressure to restore the muscle’s function, and to alleviate pain caused by the trigger point.
Acupressure: This is an ancient healing art that uses hand pressure on certain meridian pressure points to relieve pain, promote blood flow and the body’s life force energy.
Activator: This hand-held percussion instrument is used to perform non-force adjustments.
Flexion/Distraction: This non-force chiropractic technique involves the use of a specialized table, which allows for passive distraction, flexion, lateral bending, and leverage to correct spinal problems. This technique is very effective for back pain, especially disc problems.
Chiropractic Techniques: Diversified, Sacro-Occipital, Thompson Drop, Activator, Flexion-Distraction, Applied Kinesiology, and Traction.
Proprioneuroreceptive Facilitative Stretching: A form of flexibility training that involves both the stretching and contraction of a muscle group.
Standard Process Nutritional Supplementation: These supplements are made from whole foods. They are organic and not chemically derived. The body can assimilate them into the body much more efficiently because of their natural formulation.
Standard Process Purification, Cleanse, and Weight Management Program: The 21-day purification program is a very effective way to detox, lose weight, reduce cholesterol levels, improve lipid profiles, and support all of your organ systems that play a role in purification. The purification program is more than just a diet. It encourages patients to adopt a healthier lifestyle, which, in turn, helps them look and feel better.
This streamlined, easy-to-follow program emphasizes whole, organic, and unprocessed foods; whole food supplements; and water. Vegetables and fruit are eaten from days 1-10, with select proteins (meat if desired) added at day 11. Whole food supplements taken during the program include: SP Cleanse®, SP Green Food™, SP Complete™, and Gastro-Fiber® or Whole Food Fiber. Other supplements such as Whey Pro Complete, a protein powder with 15 grams of protein per serving, can also be added to the protocol to support purification.
A recently published research article in the September 2008 peer-reviewed Journal of Chiropractic Medicine discussed the clinical effectiveness of the Standard Process Purification Program. The results from all 28 chiropractic patients were a significant drop in weight, cholesterol levels, and serum lipid profiles.
