 Meridian Stress Testing
| |
Meridian Stress testing is a great way to objectively measure imbalances in the body. By sending signals into acupuncture points and meridians, a precise numerical measurement can be taken to determine nutritional imbalances, food sensitivities, infections, and hormone imbalances to name a few. From this information the doctor can measure food and supplement compatibility to yield optimum results without several months of trial and error. |

Applied Kinesiology
| |
Applied kinesiology (AK) is a form of diagnosis using muscle testing as a primary feedback mechanism to examine how a person's body is functioning. When properly applied, the outcome of an AK diagnosis will determine the best form of therapy for the patient. Since AK draws together the core elements of many complementary therapies, it provides an interdisciplinary approach to health care. |
Detoxification and Digestion Disorders
| |
With the advent of cars, processed foods, and other technologies, our environment in which we live has become seriously polluted. It is relatively easy to become overloaded with toxins. Our bodies are amazing at surviving a life in such toxic environments, but do so at an expense. Optimum organ function is affected due to the body's inability to breakdown, filter, and excrete the toxins as quickly as they are entering the body.
The liver is the main organ of detoxification. It is responsible for several functions including detoxification of environmental toxins and poisons, breakdown of hormones including estrogen, produces cholesterol for various functions of the body, and produces bile, which breaks down fats in the digestive tract. Although the focus of detox is on the liver, every other system in the body is compromised if your liver is not functioning properly. One of the main objectives of the liver is to breakdown toxins and make them water soluble so they can be excreted in the urine. If the liver is sluggish, the toxins get stored in the fat cells where they can sequester and exert their toxic effects. These toxins become permanent residents of our systems and challenge our entire body function, including liver, kidney, heart, brain, colon, lungs, skin, and hormonal systems. Toxic overload is the major contributor to a hyperactive or hypoactive immune system. Other conditions related to decreased liver function is chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and various digestive issues.
Detoxification pulls the toxins out of the liver and fat cells. The body can then break them down and excrete them more efficiently. When doing a detox program it is common to feel flu like symptoms from the release of the toxins into the blood. As your liver catches up in dealing with the toxins, you begin to feel better. You sleep better, have more energy, a much better mood and attitude, and you even lose weight. |

Orthotics
| |
Orthotics are orthopedic devices designed to treat or adjust various biomechanical foot disorders. They may be simple, commercially made devices, such as cushioned heel cups or insoles for shoes. These are sold over-the-counter in drug stores or other retail establishments. The best orthotics, however, are custom-tailored devices specifically crafted to meet the needs of a particular individual. This is done by making an impression of the foot called a cast. The impressions in the cast duplicate any misalignments in the foot. Specialists in an orthotic laboratory can then correct the misalignments with compensation and stabilization techniques. The finished orthotic is then placed in the patient's shoe and helps keep the foot in proper alignment. Depending upon the patient's needs, the orthotic may have padding to cushion the foot against the weight of the body. Check here to find specific information on how orthotics may be able to help your specific condition. |
