TREATMENTS OFFERED


We treat a broad spectrum of patients, with an emphasis in nutrition and sports related injuries. We use many different modalities such as gua sha, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, cold light laser, and others. We share a Holistic Chiropractic Mind-Body-Connection At our Holistic Chiropractic clinic in Lafeyette Hills, PA, we strive to bring you Good Health Naturally.

 

Chiropractic Adjustments :: the Doctors are trained and certified in a wide vaariety of adjusting techniques.  Our basic philosophy is to use the correct technique for the patient, not try to fit the patient to the technique.  This is based upon the patients’ individual needs. A partial listing includes: Cox Flexion-Distraction, Sacro-occipital technique (SOT), Blocking, Thompson technique, Diversified, Palmer Toggle Recoil technique, Applied Kinesiology, Strain/Counterstrain Muscle Releasing technique, Arthrostim, etc. ⇑

 

Food Sensitivity Testing :: there is a connection between what you eat and how youu feel.  You can improve your health by identifying your sensitivities to particular foods.  A simple, scientifically-proven blood test is needed to determine which foods are “perfect” for your particular body. Consider this quote from Lucretius.”One man’s foood is another man’s poison”.  Our Individualized Nutrition Program begins with this testing.⇑

 

Digestive competence testing :: the best foodd undigested becomes a toxin in the body. Your digestive system must work properly for you to receive proper nutrition.  We utilize different tests to determine if your digestive system is working properly and to assess which areas are under stress.  One is a visceral reflex palpatory test.  This is a simple physical palpatory examination performed in the office which reveals stress points as they relate to the viscera and other body functions. Another is a 24 hour urinalysis.  When blood tests are positive, something has gone wrong.  Urinary results show up when the body is trying to keep the bloodwork normal, thus it shows early variations.  This test demonstrates levels of bowel toxicity, how your body is handling the digestion of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, and reveals how your body is handling calcium and magnesium.  You may be taking a large amount of calcium but not utilizing it.  It also shows the acid/base balance levels and reveals if you are in kidney or adrenal stress.  Also See food sensitivity testing and individualized nutrition program ⇑

 

Body Biomechanics :: your body is a wonderful machine.  However, as with all machines, when it goes out of balance, it does not work properly.  We look at your body’s balance (leg length, foot and pelvic imbalances, head tilt, shoulder levels).  For example, if your head is very forward on your body (anterior translation), this creates significant stress on your shoulder and neck.  This can result in headaches, neck pain, mid back tightness, and fatigue.  We also look at your jaw balance as this can also affect headaches and neck pain.  Correction may involve simple stretches and /or exercises.  We also look at your work environment, are you sitting all day, and your home furnishing stresses.  Possibly your tennis racquet is too heavy.  Did you know that your office chair should meet a 5 point criterion to be ergonomically correct?  All these factors are examined and discussed when trying to correct body biomechanics.⇑

 

Electrical stimulation :: to help facilitate the healing process this modaliity has been used for many years by chiropractors and physical therapists.  The body has an electrical current/aura and by tapping into this system you can affect the healing process.  In its basic form ES helps injured areas that are acidic (lactic acid and injured muscles) change to alkaline to speed healing.  It also can be used to pump blood and/or fluid out of an injured area to reduce swelling and speed up the healing process. ⇑

 

Ultrasound :: therapeutic ultrasound has been used for decades.  US is a high frequency sound wave which builds up heat where tissue density changes.  This is why it is able to work deeper than some other modalities.  It helps to promote muscle healing and works on an acupuncture/meridian therapy level.  Oftentimes we use a homeopathic trauma gel with US for increased healing. ⇑

 

Scenar Therapy :: SCENAR (Self Controlled Energo Neuro Adaptive Regulator) is a Russian Medical Technology which prompt’s the body’s own adaptive processes and facilitates restoration of homeostatic function; thereby reducing stress and inflammation and effectively relieving pain and dysfunction. SCENAR is an FDA-approved, hand held medical device that delivers non-invasive, non-toxic, computer modulated, and therapeutic electro stimulation onto and through the skin.  It is a biofeedback and pain control device involving no drugs and no surgery that aids the body in the self healing process.  It was introduced in the USA in 2009 and we are thrilled with the results we have received thus far. ⇑

 

Meridian Therapy :: stumulation of acupuncture points by non-needle methods ⇑

 

Craniosacral Therapy :: is a gentle hands on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the craniosacral system.  The craniosacral system involves the cranium (head), sacrum (low back), the membranes (meninges) and the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord.  The techniques used can involve craniosacral adjusting, specific exercises, release of meridian points and nutritional support for the lymphatic system. ⇑

 

Energy Balancing :: in Eastern terms, proper flow (channeling) of energy is important for body functioning.  The human body contains hundreds of locations where there is focused and concentrated energy.  This includes the chakras (spinning vortexes of energy) which are the network through which body, mind and spirit interact as one holistic system. Balancing and allowing proper flow through these energy points can be a powerful healing experience, both physically and emotionally. ⇑

 

Trigger Point Therapy (Nimmo Receptor Tonus Technique) :: application of simple pressure to tender areas to release muscles from localized spasm ⇑

 

Gua Sha :: Gua Sha is a straightforward technique commonly used in Asia.  In Gua Sha, the skin is pressured, in strokes, by a round-edged instrument.  This, in Western terms, helps to release fluid that the body has been unable to clear within the extracellular matrix.  This technique is valuable in the treatment of both acute and chronic pain. ⇑

 

Ear Candling :: an ancient art, hollow candles are used to clean the ears. ⇑

 

Ionic Cleanse :: Ionic Cleanse Therapy is used to detoxify the body.  It removes unwanted toxins and heavy metals.   By helping to eliminate harmful free radicals, yeast, fungus, etc the body’s pH level moves from acid to a more healthy alkaline state. ⇑

 

Herbal Remedies :: Herbal remedies have been used for thousands of years. We use a wide variety of herbal remedies to help facilitate healing and help patients to meet their health goals. Many of our herbal formulas are combined with specific enzymes that allow the herbs to be more bioavailable to the body. ⇑

 

Homeopathy :: a way to gently help to stimulate the body’s healing processes without harmful side effects.

Magnetic therapy :: magnets are in reality small continuous stimulation units.  They have been used for years to help heal non-displaced fractures.  Because of their polarity, north and south poles, they help bring bloodflow into an area. They help change acid to alkaline to help promote a better healing environment. And they work on an acupuncture/meridian therapy level to open up energy channels. ⇑

 

Cold Light Laser :: has been used in Europe for many years.  It has become more popular in this country over the last 10 years.  The beam is diffused; it does not generate heat or burn. When applied, it is barely perceived by the patient. In actuality it is deep photo therapy and stimulates the cells to quicken the healing process.  It is excellent for soft tissue healing, and speeds up the healing of sprains and strains.  And it reduces the size and redness of scars. It also can be used on any surface skin wound/ abrasion to speed healing and minimize scarring.⇑

 

Orthotics :: the foot is a wonderfully designed mechanism for walking and running.  Unfortunately, it was not meant to be continually doing this on concrete, tile, hardwood, etc.  Eventually, the 3 arches of the foot collapse creating a foot imbalance, which can affect the entire body.  We carry an excellent line of over the counter orthotics for many different uses whether for support, cushioning, or when a little extra balance is needed in a competitive track shoe, etc.
We also offer 2 different lines of custom made orthotics to fit your individual needs, We have fit college soccer players, professional and college level basketball players, along with many high school athletes in various sports  (nationally ranked squash players, tennis, baseball, softball, skateboarders.  Casting is done in-office and weight-bearing, as it gives an accurate picture of where the foot is stressed. ⇑
