Acupuncture |
|
 |
|
Acupuncture therapy promotes health and alleviates pain and suffering. It
has been used to treat a wide range of symptoms and diseases. This treatment
approach has been time tested over thousands of years and continues to be
validated today even though your doctor may not tell you about it.
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine surgical-quality needles into specific
points on the body. These points are chosen based on the person's symptoms
and Chinese medical diagnosis. The scientific explanation is that needling the
acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the
muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals either change the experience
of pain, or they trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones, which
influence or balance the body's own internal regulating system. Today
acupuncture is being practiced around the world.

IV Therapy |
|
 |
|
Intravenous (IV) therapy delivers high doses of nutrients directly into the
blood for immediate use by the body. The absorption is dramatically increased
because it bypasses the digestive or gastrointestinal tract (GI). The blood is
able to accept a higher dose of nutrients than the GI tract. For example, you
can easily give 10 g of vitamin C to someone through IV, but 10 g or more
orally can cause unpleasant side effects such as diarrhea.
The GI tract is where the absorption of nutrients takes place and when supplements
or pills are taken the assumption is that the GI tract is healthy. Absorption may be
impaired for those with any type of GI dysfunction. There is also a limit to
how much the GI tract can absorb at one time, which is why it is often
recommended that supplements be taken more than once per day.
IV therapy has shown to be very effective in treating the following health
conditions: Acute and Chronic Viral Infections, Bronchitis and Asthma,
Fibromyalgia, Adrenal Burnout and Chronic Fatigue, Cancer, Depression and
Anxiety, Digestive Disorders, Muscle Spasms and Low Back Pain, Vitamin
and Mineral Deficiencies, Heavy Metal Toxicity.
IV therapy is a great way to jump start your body with nutrients or help your
body recover faster. Each formulation is created with the patient's unique needs in
mind. The end results are enhanced recovery time from illness and the prevention
of relapse.

Prolotherapy |
|
 |
|
Prolotherapy is a treatment for chronic pain. Pain can be induced by auto
accidents, sports injuries or overuse. Ligaments and tendons are often over-stretched
in these situations. Due to the low blood supply, these areas do not heal quickly
and often times stay in a "stretched-out" state. This will make the joint feel
"loose", dislocate easily or to compensate for the laxity in that area, the muscle
will spasm to keep the tissues taut, thus resulting in chronic pain.
In most cases, commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory medications and more
drastic measures like surgery and joint replacement may not help, and often
hinder or even prevent the healing process. Prolotherapy is a simple, natural
technique that stimulates the body to repair the painful area when the natural
healing process needs assistance.
It stimulates the body's natural healing system, beginning with a process called
inflammation. The technique involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild
irritant solution) that causes an inflammatory response, which initiates the
healing process. The growth of new ligament and tendon tissue is then
stimulated. After prolotherapy treatment the ligaments and tendons appear
thicker and stronger.
Prolotherapy has the potential of being 100 percent effective at eliminating
chronic pain due to ligament and tendon weakness and can be used to treat
arthritis, mechanical low back pain, degenerative disc disease, cartilage
damage, and sports injuries. No other therapy will actually help repair, rebuild
and strengthen ligaments and tendons the way prolotherapy does.
