Treatment Techniques
Aside from common chiropractic techniques, here are just some of the treatment techniques we use with our patients:
Neuro Emotional Technique
Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is a mind-body technique that uses a methodology of finding and removing neurological imbalances related to the physiology of unresolved stress. NET is a tool that can help improve many behavioral and physical conditions. Learn more
Neuromodulation Technique
Neuromodulation Technique (NMT) was developed by Dr. Leslie S. Feinberg, D.C. in 2002. NMT has garnered a reputation as a highly effective, yet especially safe form of alternative healthcare. Many thousands of people all over the world have turned to NMT for relief from allergies, and autoimmune illnesses such as arthritis, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, lupus, myositis, scleroderma, inflammatory and other acute and chronic conditions.

Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART) is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often a result of overused muscles. Learn more
Graston Technique/IASTM
Graston Technique® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation. Learn more. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a broader term to reflect a gentler, but more effective approach by focusing on the nervous system structure of the fascia.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing with other standard methods of diagnosis. The doctor using AK finds a muscle that is unbalanced and then attempts to determine why that muscle is not functioning properly. The doctor works out the treatment that will best balance the patient’s muscles. Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition, dietary management, counseling skills, evaluating environmental irritants and various reflex procedures.

Auriculotherapy
Auriculotherapy is a health care procedure in which stimulation of the auricle of the external ear is utilized to alleviate health conditions in other parts of the body. While originally based upon the ancient Chinese practices of acupuncture, the somatotopic correspondence of specific parts of the body to specific parts of the ear was first developed in France. It is this integrated system of Chinese and Western practices of auricular acupuncture which is presented. Learn more
Nutritional Therapy
I am a certified Dietitian-Nutritionist and find that an optimal diet and carefully chosen supplements are often at the core of recovery and maintenance of good health. When wisely applied, food becomes our medicine.
Over the years I have used nutritional testing and therapies to detect and treat a wide variety of conditions such as deficiencies, allergies and sensitivities, immune issues, toxins, hormonal concerns(pregnancy issues, PMS, menopause), osteoporosis, insomnia, addictions, diabetes, digestive disorders(GERD, irritable bowel disease, Celiac’s Disease), high blood pressure, fatigue, and more.
Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) Therapy
I am also a Certified GAPS Practitioner. Gut and Psychology Syndrome(GAP Syndrome or GAPS) is a condition based on the connection between the digestive system and the brain. Our physical and mental health are greatly affected by this relationship. Learn more
Uncut Flower Essences
I am delighted to have discovered Dr. Brent Davis’ Uncut Flower Essences (www.floralive.com). These wonderful remedies are the epitome of mind-body medicine when it comes to eliminating subconscious blockages and limiting beliefs that prevent us from achieving greater health and happiness. They have scientific research supporting their effectiveness and are completely safe. As far as I know they are unmatched by other flower remedies available including Bach flower remedies. The reason is tow fold: 1) they are derived from uncut living flowers and 2) they are grown in pristine and sometimes remote areas of the world. This creates their uniquely powerful and transformative nature.
We pride ourselves in our commitment to continually learning the most effective treatment techniques, keeping us up to date on the best ways to treat our patients.
