The foundation of acupuncture is based on the scientific development that we as humans are complex bioelectric systems. It is a generally safe, therapeutic Chinese based technique that has been used for thousands of years. Modern practitioners use extremely small needles, about as thick as a hair strand, which are inserted into specific points on the body, called acupoints. These specific acupoints are gateways into specific energy channels, also known as meridians. Meridians conduct life-force energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”), in and around all the parts of your body.

There are twelve main traceable meridians, of which course through or to organs, i.e. stomach meridian, liver meridian, etc. If the meridians become congested or blocked, it can result in energetic imbalances which can lead to acute and chronic disorders. 

The idea is that the needles’ penetration will restore balance and proper flow of Qi, allowing the body to return to normal functioning and stability naturally. Side effects are usually minimal with acupuncture, but can include soreness around the needle site or bruising.

Chiropractic is founded on the idea that we are self-healing organisms. Chiropractic adjustments correct the spinal segment so that communication between the brain and body can promote healing. It is a natural form of healthcare that focuses on the relationship of the nervous system and body. The principle is based on the idea that if a spinal segment is misaligned, then the nerve exiting that spinal segment can’t optimally deliver messages to the body from the brain. In other words, the joints of the spine lock up, limiting range of motion. Spinal joint restriction or misalignment results in irritation or pressure at the spinal nerve. Even the slightest misalignments, called subluxations of the spine, can cause poor health or function. 

Events such as automobile accidents, sports injuries, repetitive work, and stress are the most common occurrences that can overwhelm the body’s ability to adapt and cause subluxations. Low back pain, sciatica, disc injuries, neck pain, headaches, muscle aches, extremity joint pain and many other symptoms are the most common complaints treated with chiropractic. Side effects are usually minimal with adjustments; slight soreness is most often the common side effect.

Due to chiropractic’s opioid-free, cost-effective approach to care, chiropractic has and continues to be, proven in scientific studies as an effective treatment for many types of pain without the risks of prescription painkillers.

NAET, short for Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique, is a completely safe and non-invasive allergy testing and treatment option for all ages, from cradle to grave. It’s even safe for pregnant moms! It is 100% painless – a revolutionary treatment that is gentle and effective. NAET combines Kinesiology (Muscle Responsive Testing), Chiropractic (spinal nerve stimulation WITHOUT adjusting) and Oriental Medicine (Acupressure) to clear allergic reactions through a reprogramming of the brain.

Research has shown that when major allergies are eliminated and the immune system is strengthened, the body resumes normal healing and homeostasis. The basic idea is that we have cellular memory. Our allergies are actually physical manifestations of a memory for being sensitive to something. When we neutralize that memory, per se, we actually clear an allergy. By stimulating the spinal nerves and specific acupressure points in the presence of an allergen, we are desensitizing our bodies and minds to this said allergen. It sounds confusing, but it’s really quite simple. 

Muscle testing tells us which allergens are weak. We go through an easy, systematic muscle testing process to determine what needs to be treated, or what items are sensitive. After we’ve cleared items, we muscle test again to ensure the treatment worked and those sensitivities are no longer present.
