Clinical Nutrition
Balanced nutrition is an essential foundation for healthy living that can significantly enhance your overall health and prevent future disease. Personalized dietary adjustments and vitamin, mineral and enzymatic supplementation may be used to promote health, address deficiencies or treat disease processes. Education about healthy food choices is also emphasized.
Homeopathy
An energetic medicine based on the principles of “like cures like” developed in the 1700s, homeopathy uses minute amounts of naturally-derived substances prescribed based on the unique characteristics of the patient in order to stimulate self-healing abilities. Classical single-remedy homeopathy, complex remedies and Biotherapeutic Drainage may be used.
Botanical Medicine
Plant-based medicines have been used for thousands of years and are the basis of modern pharmacology. They are also the subject of a growing number of positive clinical research studies relating to their safety and effectiveness. Treatments in the form of teas, tinctures, capsules and topical applications may be used. We are trained to identify the interactions between herbs and other treatment (including supplements and prescription medications) and new research is constantly being done.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
TCM uses acupuncture, traditional herbal preparations and dietary modifications to balance the flow of Chi (energy) in the meridian pathways of the body. Pulse and tongue diagnosis is used to determine the course of treatment. Acupuncture treatments, which involve the insertion of needles at specific points along the meridian channels, are performed using pre-sterilized and packaged single-use needles.
Physical Medicine
A variety of physical or hands-on techniques for the spine, joints and soft tissues may be used to promote optimal health, relaxation and physical alignment.
Lifestyle Counseling
We are committed to the education and guidance of our patients in making positive changes to the physical, mental-emotional and environmental aspects of one’s lifestyle that may be inhibiting optimal health. Uncovering the habits, behaviors and stressors that contribute to ill health, and learning ways to make changes that will help to promote health and prevent illness.
Orthomolecular Medicine
Describes the practice of preventing and treating disease by providing the body with optimal amounts of substances that are natural to the body. The key idea in orthomolecular medicine is that genetic factors not only affect the physical characteristics of individuals, but also their biochemical milieu.
Mind/Body Medicine
Focuses on the interactions of the mind, body, and behavior, and the powerful ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and behavioral factors can directly affect health.
Craniosacral Therapy:
A very soft touch, hands-on therapeutic approach that involves the enhancement of natural bodily function.
BodyTalk
Combines the wisdom of advanced yoga and ayurvedic philosophy, the insights of modern physics and mathematics, the energy dynamics of acupuncture, the clinical findings of Applied Kinesiology, and western medical expertise. BodyTalk is an astonishingly simple and effective form of therapy that allows the body's energy systems to be re-synchronized so that they can operate as nature intended. Each system, cell and atom is in constant communication with each other at all times. Through exposure to the stresses of day-to-day life, these lines of communication become compromised, which then leads to a decline in physical, emotional and/or mental health. Reconnecting these lines of communication then enables the body's mechanisms to function at optimal levels, thus preventing disease and rapidly accelerating the healing process. BodyTalk can be used as a stand-alone system to treat many health problems, or seamlessly integrated into any health care system to increase its effectiveness and promote faster healing.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy was developed by Osteopathic Physician John Upledger in 1970. It is a gentle, hands-on method of enhancing the bodies own healing capacities. This light touch therapy is used to detect and correct imbalances in the craniosacral system, which may cause sensory, motor or mental and emotional dysfunction. The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the bones of the skull- which make up the cranium – down to the sacrum or tailbone area. Craniosacral Therapy strengthens your body’s ability for overall health and resistance to disease.
Matrix Energetics
Matrix Energetics is more than a technique or a method it is really a way to expand our entire perceptual model. Each person has a set point, like a thermostat, for what they're willing to believe, experience, and sense in the world. With Matrix Energetics, you acknowledge that every model has limitations. Then you realize that you don't have to play by those limitations- and the key word is "play". You invite miracles to happen in between the spaces of conscious awareness. "Matrix Energetics helps you let go of the rigidity of those rules to be more flexible, and yet still retain those rules as appropriate for your reality". Dr. Richard Bartlett DC, ND.
