Methods and Techniques
Postural analysis and restoration
By analysing your posture and nervous system we locate and give correction to any imbalances concerned with the musculo-skeletal and nervous system
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology is a testing and treatment system using your muscles to evaluate the structural, chemical and neurological connections of the body and mind. Muscle testing assesses the impact of the nervous system on patient health while looking for the root source of dis-ease in the systems of the body.
Applied Kinesiology is used to identify these sources of dis-ease along with many structural and gastrointestinal issues associated with the neurological systems of the body. Many patients with complex conditions have turned to Applied Kinesiology when nothing else has worked for them.
Which proper therapy it is your doctors goal to safely relieve the suffering related to debilitating injury that can compound into pain, anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue, thyroid imbalance, weight gain, mental stress and more. And to bring you hope and healing to your life.
Clinical Kinesiology
Clinical Kinesiology is a system of measurement and treatment protocols that provide your doctor with detailed information on the proper function and treatment protocols for all the factors contributing to health, wellbeing and longevity. Theses techniques include but are not limited to neurolymphatic reflexes, neuro vascular reflexes, visceral organ reflexes, muscle acupuncture points, skeletal mechanics, homeopathic and herbal nutrition, as well as the emotional, structural, and biochemical factors for restoration of the body/mind to its healthier function.
Traditional Chineses Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a philosophy, science, and art, that the body’s vital energy flows along meridians in the body and keeps a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health in balance.
Using the understanding of Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners uses their diagnosis and treatment skills to restore the body to balance. Art forms used can include Meridian therapy, diet and herbal therapy, joint and muscle manipulation, physical exercise, and soft tissue and organ massage therapy.
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal health and wellbeing. Practitioners take a detailed understanding of your genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to your health and recovery. As a result, Functional Medicine treatment targets the specific and root causes of dis-ease in each unique individual- Physically, Chemically and Emotionally.
Meridian Therapy
Meridian therapy techniques produce change in the mind and body by tapping into the energy systems of the body through the complex network of meridians that move our Vital life force.
These channels of energy were mapped out by the Chinese over five thousand years ago and is the basis of all treatment. To rectify Imbalances in theses vital energy channels by unblocking and moving congestion out of theses channels. It does not matter whether chemical, emotional or physiological stress impairs the perfect functioning of these meridians; it only matters that these circuits of energy are active and communicating 100% of their vital ability to your body.
Pioneers in the Energy Medicine field consider Meridian Therapy to be a form of “psychological acupuncture.” When you combine this physical/energetic therapy with specific spinal and organ therapies the result is a very powerful mind/body healing technique that can release trauma and illness from both your mind and the very tissues of your body
Craniosacral therapy
Viscera “organ” therapy
The term viscera relates to the internal organs of the body, such as the heart, liver, kidneys and intestines. Along with the Glands of the hormonal system like the thyroid, pancreas and adrenals. Visceral Manipulation, focuses on the growth and function of these vital organs to perform at 100%.
Visceral massage originates from Eastern Taoist practices where they emphasize the importance of releasing old stagnant energy stored in organs and glands of your body. It is believed that this stagnant energy can contain unresolved traumas and emotional issues from the past, as well as all your biochemical functions for immunity, higher brain function and regeneration.
This core therapy is often cited as a missing link in the treatment of recurring musculoskeletal pain, postural distortions and biomechanical dysfunction.
Neonatal Reflex therapy
Neonatal Reflexes- “Retained”
When accumulation or impactful stress is present during your development these important reflexes can be neurologically overloaded creating a delay or even a retainment of the growth and development of the brain, gut and immune systems. These retainments can be caused by but not limited to: Birth Traumas, C-Section, exposure to GMO foods such as wheat, soy and corn, Round-up exposed soils, Thimerosal (mercury) Vaccination chemistry, and Excitotoxic preservatives in packaged foods like MSG.
So as we grow-up with our Neonatal Reflexes Retained, they create subtle or drastic interferences with some or all functions of the higher brain centers. Symptoms can include: lack of self-soothing, abnormal body movement, gross and fine motor control, structural problems, visual tracking, hormonal imbalances, stomach pain, constipation, Leaky Gut, Irritable Bowel syndrome, chronic inflammation, allergies, social cueing, delayed emotional and academic development, anxiety, panic attacks, dyslexia, autistic behavior, ADD/ADHD spectrum symptoms, and many other Gut and Neurodegenerative diseases depending on your age.
Reintegration of “Retained Neonatal Reflexes”
Structural and neurological corrections have been developed that assist in the integration of the Retained Neonatal Reflexes. Theses modalities include specific Cranial/Sacral and Brainstem corrections, meridian therapies, organ manipulations and neurological reprograming. Reintegrating the reflexes in this way gives the body the boost they need to move again in a higher brain function thus allowing the neurology of the body to learn again what was missed.
These corrections are only one part of a team that includes, Functional Medicine, Chiropractic Neurology, Behavioral Optometrists, Neuropsychologists, sound therapist, EEG Neurofeedback Therapists, Medical Practitioners, Clinical Nutritionists, Occupational Therapist, Psychologists, Speech Therapist, etc. Those trained in Retained Neonatal Reflexes correction are also taught when to refer and to which other professions.
Being so, the stigma of many “labels” like Autism (ASD), Attention Deficits (ADHS), Dyslexia, Leaning and Behavioral Difficulties, can effectively be treated by a Doctor of Chiropractic or Osteopathy who has been specially trained to work with Neonatal Reflexes techniques.
Common Conditions Treated
In fact, musculoskeletal pain or discomfort in any area of the spine or extremity, like neck and back ailments, knee and ankle problems to carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow is a candidate for safe, natural, noninvasive care.
Common musculoskeletal conditions treated:
- low back pain and stiffness
- neck and upper back pain and stiffness
- mid back pain and stiffness
- headaches and migraines
- arm and leg pains, weakness, numbness and tingling
- Shoulder, hips and pelvis pain and dysfunction
- Whiplash and concussions
Common Injuries Treated
Complementary and alternative practitioners are highly skilled in many types of injuries and recognize the unique findings associated with each. For example, it’s important to understand that lifestyle injuries often involve a delayed onset of symptoms which commonly arise weeks and even months post trauma. With lifestyle injuries your Doctor will look beyond the actual injury and address such things as work, posture and movements. For sports injuries, exercise science is employed to check for biomechanical and muscle imbalances as a routine part of the treatment plan. Treating the whole person and optimizing health is what IT’S all about.
Common injuries treated:
- Falls and and whiplash injuries
- lifting injuries
- sports/athletic injuries
- Head trauma
Physiological and biochemical Conditions Treated
In addition to musculoskeletal problems, Complementary and Alternative therapies have been shown to benefit many individuals suffering from “medical” ailments such as chronic ear infections in children, menstrual pain and irregularities in women, and arthritis in the elderly. Modern day research has shown that many “medical” conditions can be caused or aggravated by irritation to spinal nerve roots, organ and gland weakness and biochemical imbalances in the gut and brain. All of these share an intimate relationship with the spinal and electrical structures or the body . By restoring proper nerve function by normalizing these structure and function, individuals suffering from these “medical” ailments can obtain partial and in some cases, full relief.
Non-musculoskeletal conditions which studies have shown benefit from Complementary and alternative therapies.
- Hypothyroid
- Stress and fatigue relief
- Leaky gut
- Painful mensuration
- Epi-genetic imbalances
- Dizziness
- infantile colic
- low energy levels
- ear and sinus congestion
- Neurodegenerative dis-eases
If a condition exists which is found to be suited for treatment by an other specialist, such conditions will be send to the appropriate referral physician. However, most patients suffering from musculoskeletal and the above complaints can and are successfully cared for with Complementary and Alternative therapies every single day.
