DISCIPLINES

Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture

A four-thousand year old system of medicine, acupuncture balances the flow of the body's qi (energy). With sterilized, tiny steel needles inserted just beneath the skin along specific qi meridians, blockages as well as energy overloads, can be successfully treated.
Acupuncture is beneficial in treating addictions, asthma, headaches, musculoskeletal conditions, women’s health issues(including fertility), neurological imbalances, as well as other health concerns.

Herbal Treatment

Botanical (plant) medicine (most commonly herbs), unlike many conventional drugs, offers safe and reliable treatment when prescribed and used properly. Nature’s basic offering, herbs are often taken along with acupuncture treatments.

Homeopathy

For over two centuries homeopathy has been practiced successfully around the world, most notably in Europe and the Far East. A system of remedies that seeks to balance and restore health using minute quantities of natural substances, homeopathic remedies strengthen the body’s innate vital force.
Addressing the emotional, mental, and physical, this powerful medicine treats imbalances, the root of all diseases.

Nutrition

Just as not all bodies are equal, neither are all foods. Determining which foods benefit one’s body and which foods have deleterious effects can help with many medical concerns.
Through nutritional and allergy testing, combined with nutritional guidance, a patient can achieve greater health and energy. Therapeutic use of nutrition can also address many medical conditions with fewer complications and side effects of synthetic drugs, including digestive and colon disorders, asthma, migraines and other ailments.
As food is the body’s fuel, its role in helping one stay optimally healthy is crucial.

Allergy Testing

Osteopathy in the Cranial Field

Osteopathy in the cranial field(central nervous system) therapy is a delicate manual technique that releases undue pressure and restrictions on the brain and spinal cord. These “held” constraints are often the imprint of physical and emotional difficulties, or both. With release comes a body that is more flexible and a heart that is more free. OCF therapy helps the body with: stress, chronic neck/back pain, migraines, motor coordination impairments, chronic fatigue, emotional difficulties, learning disabilities and other ailments.
