Lifestyle Counseling
Lifestyle modifications such as diet changes, exercise and stress reduction can be challenging to change on one's own. Often it is difficult to know where to start as well as how to stay motivated throughout the process. Lifestyle counseling includes defining the goals a person wants to achieve, then formulating a tailored plan with specific steps for reaching the defined goals.
Nutritional Supplementation
Each of the cells in our bodies is a tiny factory that requires proper nutrition to work optimally. In today's stressful world it is difficult to get the nutrients cells need from diet alone. Nutritional supplementation gives the cells the nutrients they need in the amounts required for optimal function.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that can release restrictions anywhere in the body. Each person's body has a unique craniosacral rhythm that can be detected by a trained craniosacral practitioner. The practitioner assesses restrictions in the craniosacral rhythm and then uses craniosacral therapy to gently release the restrictions. Restrictions in the craniosacral rhythm can be caused by different types of traumas including physical (e.g. physical injury), mental (e.g. chronic stress) or emotional (e.g. a traumatic emotional event).
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral manipulation is also a gentle, hands-on therapy that releases restrictions in the body. Each of the body's organs has a subtle, detectable movement. Disruptions to these natural movements can lead to organ dysfunction and physical pain. Visceral manipulation practitioners assess for organ movement disruptions and then use visceral manipulation to correct the disruptions. Causes of organ disruptions also can be physical, mental or emotional.
Botanical (Herbal, Plant) Medicine
Botanical medicine has been used for thousands of years and is still used widely throughout the world. Many of today's pharmaceutical drugs are derived from components of plants. However, pharmaceutical drugs usually have more adverse effects than their botanical cousins. Emerging research shows that botanical medicines can be just as effective as pharmaceutical drugs if properly administered.
Homeopathic Medicine (Homeopathy)
Homeopathic medicine has been tested empirically for centuries and has been shown to be beneficial for many conditions and diseases. Homeopathy uses extremely dilute preparations of plant, animal and mineral origin. Some practitioners use homeopathic preparations to treat specific symptoms whereas other practitioners use homeopathic medicine as a sole treatment, known as constitutional homeopathy. Constitutional homeopathy practitioners prescribe higher dosages of a single homeopathic remedy that matches a person's unique make-up.
Biopuncture
Biopuncture promotes healing of chronic pain and inflammation through injections of ultra-low dose and other natural substances directly into the problem area. Instead of suppressing the body's innate healing ability, like many conventional anti-inflammatory drugs do, Biopuncture stimulates the immune system to help the body heal itself.
