Traditional Medicine refers to health practices that incorporate plant, animal and mineral based medicines, manual techniques and exercises to treat, diagnose and prevent illness or maintain optimal health.

Pain Management refers toPhysical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) or Physiatry, which is a branch of medicine that focuses on embracing and restoring the functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities. A Physiatrist, or Pain Management Physician, has completed four years of medical school, one year of internship and three years of residency.  Physiatrists specialize in restoring optimal function to people with injuries to the muscles, bones, tissues and nervous system, which includes neck and back pain, shoulder and arm pain, hip and leg pain, numbness and tingling, arthritis, tendonitis, sciatica, spinal cord injury, stroke, peripheral neuropathy, ligament tears and sports injuries.

Physical Therapy is the treatment (Passive and Active Therapy) of disorders of the muscles, bones or joints, resulting from an injury, poor posture, muscle imbalances or a weak core. Passive Physical Therapy includes Heat/Ice, Muscle Stimulation, Ultrasound and/or Tens Unit. Active Physical Therapy consists of Stretching Exercises, Strengthening Exercises and/or Low Impact Aerobic Conditioning.

Holistic Medicine is a system of health care, emphasizing the whole person, which includes the integration of physical, nutritional, environmental and emotional components.  It focuses on patient education and responsibility in order to achieve balance and well-being.

Chiropractic is a therapeutic approach based upon the interaction of the spine and nervous system (master system in the body, controlling and coordinating all other systems such as respiratory, digestive, muscular, immune, etc.). The primary method of treatment is the chiropractic adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to remove any disruptions/distortions of energy flow that may be caused by slight vertebral misalignments (subluxations). If the master system (nervous system) is healthy and functioning properly, then the other systems under its control will also function properly. Other chiropractic options include low-force therapy (activator), massage, electrical stimulation, traction, and the application of heat and ice.

Acupuncture treats the root cause of health problems naturally. It harmonizes the yin yang balance restoring normal free flow.  Acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural healing, quickly reduces pain and inflammation, enhances endocrine and immune function, relaxes muscles and stops spasms. In addition, acupuncture successfully helps fertility problems, weight loss, insomnia, depression, the addiction of smoking and digestive disorders. Most patients see results in as little as two to three treatments for an acute condition, five for a chronic problem and a longer series for degenerative conditions.It enhances the effect of other therapies, such as physical therapy, chiropractic and pain management, as well as reducing the unwanted side effects of prolonged use of drugs or surgical intervention.

Nutritional Counseling is aimed at balancing the needs of the human body via healthy, nutrient-rich foods and dietary supplements, which play an important function in virtually every medical condition.  Proper nutrition boosts the immune system, detoxifies the body, restores beneficial digestion, and can correct vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Intravenous Chelation is perhaps the most successful method to extend maximum life span! It is a chemical process by which metals or minerals (such as lead or mercury) are removed from the bloodstream, by utilizing EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) & then carried away in the urine. It’s an effective medical therapy administered intravenously. Chelation Therapy has been used for more than 50 years - in over 1 million patients. It is a course of treatments, which consists of 20-40 infusions. Each treatment takes 2-3 hours, and patients normally receive 1-2 treatments each week. IV Chelation Therapy helps patients with Angina Pain, Hardened/Blocked Arteries, Elevated Blood Cholesterol, Elevated Blood Pressure, Impaired Concentration or Memory, Aches and Pains, Poor Circulation, Osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s Disease, Diabetes, or for those who just want to prevent the onset of age-related pathology.
