We take a thorough history for whole person approach that allows individualized care. Our work is most effective when the whole person rather than just their symptoms are taken into account. This approach respects individuals as more than their symptoms. A person with a chronic condition, often feels as though the symptoms dictate his/her life. We look unique needs and work out a program or methods suitable for you as an individual. You transform your disease into ease. We facilitate this transformation in a variety of ways that may include: allergy testing and treatment, simple environmental modifications in your home to help you breathe better, assessing the right diet, supplements or medications, and optimizing your sleep by using different strategies. Non-invasive tools that help you process and release pain differently. These include acupressure, cranial occipital techniques, Reiki, and consciousness tools Our goal is to empower you in reclaiming your inner creative authority and intelligence.
Many patients with Fibromyalgia have chronic Rhinitis. Most of these patients have IGE mediated allergy. We use the most effective standard scientifically accepted techniques of and treatments for allergy immunotherapy.
In conjunction with evaluating your overall situation, we use numerous state of the art pain management tools that are cost effective and specifically chosen for your issues.
For example: The Alpha Stim 100 is small machine that uses ear clips and can be purchased
if you find it useful. It also has wands and/or pads for pain relief in other
areas of the body. It works using neurotransmitter activation for pain relief.
Often with consistent use of this machine, patients can reduce or eliminate
their antidepressants and/or anti anxiety medications. It also helps with sleep
issues.
The Synaptic 3600 Machine works phenomenally for pain relief. The Synaptic
is similar to the Alpha Stim since both work on specific areas of the body
as well as having general neurotransmitter effects, but the Synaptic 3600 is
not as portable. It takes a person through a range of frequencies that sequentially
reduce pain through activation of the neurotransmitters in the area of pain.
We have used the Synaptic for close to 15 years with great results. Within
a short period of regular treatments pain reduction can be quite dramatic in
reducing or eliminating the need for pain medication as well as psychoactive
agents.
The Thermatex heating pad is a specfically design infrared heating pad that reduces inflammation and pain consistently and efficiently. It is available for purchase for your home use.
Diet & Nutrition Counseling & Weight Loss/Control
With obesity a national health issue, it is essential for you to maintain an optimal body weight. Insulin is a major factor in formation of arachidonic acid (a proinflammatory chemical eicosanoid). Prevent insulin surges with a low calorie, low carb, high protein diet that reduces inflammation. We spend a great deal of time researching and experimenting in this area. It is clear that each individual must find an eating plan and program that fits your life style and tastes. We have recipes for all kinds of diets and programs and are knowledgeable in all weight loss programs. Research shows that being 10% below recommended weight levels is a consistent variable in increasing longevity. We know from our own experiences that it is possible to eat well, and anything you love, and at the same time remain lean and healthy. Ask us to design and tailor a program with you.
Enhancing the immune system and body health with positive thoughts and mental imagery builds reserves of self-esteem and positive self-regard. When you feel healthy and function at optimal levels, the world looks and feels more aligned and harmonious with self. It is in the very nature of holistic work that the mind and body are seen as one functional unit since it is only through the body that we bring our humanity to the forefront of our existence. By using multiple techniques and modalities we strive to allow maximal integration of all areas of functioning.
