Initial Comprehensive Evaluation
To determine the nature of your condition a comprehensive evaluation and assessment is required for all new cases. Evaluation may include some or all of the appropriate procedures: medical history review, review of related diagnostic test ( X-rays, MRI, CT, US, Labs, other tests), vitals, body fat, basal metabolic index, digital orthodic diagnostic scan, orthopedic neurological spinal examination, biofeedback assessment, electro meridian imaging, other. Not all cases will be accepted for treatment. Cost: $198 + any additional diagnostic test that are required.
Chiropractic
Gentle, effective treatment to restore nerve tissue function naturally. A therapeutic system based primarily upon the interactions of the spine and nervous system, the method of treatment usually being to adjust the segments of the spinal column.
Chiropractic has an ageless place in health care. The Chinese have included "manipulative" treatment methods for thousands of years. Hippocrates, the "father of modern medicine" included "Manipulations" in his treatments. Chiropractic has been practiced in America for over 100 years.
The doctor of chiropractic (D.C.) is a well-recognized and highly regarded member of the health care community who considers the human body as a totaling functioning unit with special attention given to the spine, muscles, nerves, circulatory and skeletal systems. The chiropractor seeks to relieve pain, illness and injury by skillful manipulation of the vertebra (and other joints) and through the use of other therapeutic procedures as necessary.
The doctor of chiropractic is especially skillful in treating neuro-musculo-skeletal conditions such as disc or injury conditions involving the back and neck. Millions of Americans depend on their chiropractor for a wide range of health disorders to help them maintain their health through proper diagnosis, treatment and referral when necessary.
The doctor of chiropractic is uniquely qualified to render primary care by virtue of their extensive training in diagnosis and treatment. For example, Colorado requires that a doctor of chiropractic graduate from a four year chiropractic college accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education and pass stringent national licensing examinations. Every graduate / licensee has extensive training in anatomy, pathology, physiology, diagnosis, x-ray and treatment techniques. Cost: $58-128/visit depending on # areas.
Chiropediatrics
Safe, gentle, effective treatment for the newborn, infant, children of all ages. Parents, tiring of the antibiotic merry-go-round often seek out chiropractic care. Antibiotics are usually prescribed by medical pediatricians for ear "infections" (most of the time there is usually only inflammation or it is viral in nature) and "strep throat" (this is commonly mis-diagnosed without a throat culture). The symptoms will often resolve, but two weeks later the child once again has ear pain or throat pain and a second, third, or fourth round of antibiotics are prescribed. Often antibiotics are prescribed prophylactically (there are no symptoms, but the antibiotic is give, "just in case")! Then come tubes or tonsillectomy after the antibiotics ultimately fail. The antibiotics upset the natural flora in the intestines and yeast is allowed to overgrow, causing allergies as well as decreased immunity. Children on antibiotics becomes sicker and more prone to developing diseases.
Think about it - if you give a drug to a healthy person, it makes them sick. So how can drugs make sick people healthy??

Pregnancy Pre & Post Natal Chiropractic Care
There are biomechanical stressors that are placed on the spine and pelvis. As the baby grows, the center of gravity shifts and the low back increases it lordosis (known as the “Pride of Pregnancy”). A spinal evaluation by a chiropractor is important to ensure that there are no subluxations or restrictions. Gentle correction of any detected subluxations will help prevent sprains and strains from occurring and help relieve back and leg pain which may keep women from exercising during pregnancy.
The musculo-skeletal system undergoes extensive changes as a result of circulating hormones. Estrogen relaxes the joint capsules, allowing for more movement of the joints, including the sacroiliac and pubic joints of the pelvis. This “relaxation” of the joints is important to facilitate childbirth by opening up the pelvic outlet. More joint motion, however, can lead to sprains and strains. A pregnant woman should never push a stretch beyond the point of mild discomfort and shouldn’t hold stretches longer than 20 seconds. Stretching should be a part of every pregnant woman’s exercise program in order to keep the body flexible and help relieve general aches and pains.
Yoga during pregnancy is another great way to stay in shape and work muscles that will be needed during labor and the post partum period. Yoga`s benefits extend beyond the physical, bringing in breath work, focus, and the mind-body connection that are crucial for a healthy delivery. If a woman has never done yoga, it is best to go to a class tailored for pregnant women. Prenatal yoga videos and DVDs are also great to use at home if classes are unavailable.
The stresses of pregnancy on a womans body are greatly relieved with chiropractic care. The Webster Technique is a chiropractic technique that reduces uterine constraint and aides in facilitating proper fetal alignment for delivery. Chiropractic research reveals that chiropractic care reduces labor time by up to 40% and helps reduce pregnancy related conditions like sciatic pain, lower back pain, neuralgia, and more.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine needles into specific points on the body with the aim of relieving pain and for therapeutic purposes. These acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi a kind of vital energy flows. Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin. People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no or minimal pain as the needles are inserted. Some people feel energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed. Improper needle placement, movement of the patient, or a defect in the needle can cause soreness and pain during treatment. Treatment may take place over a period of several weeks or more.
Cost: $98 acupunture w/electric session, $68 acupuncture session.

Excess stress is the pathway to disease.
The stress can come from many sources, such as toxicity, trauma, pathogens, mental factors, perverse energy, allergies, heredity, habits, deficiency syndrome, etc. As the stress continues, the disease progresses. A Hungarian doctor, Dr. Hans Selye, showed the world a proper medicine based on stress reduction and stress control. He showed the negative effects of stress on the body.
Stress starts by producing an alarm response in the body which will provoke symptoms. If the stress continues, the body will go into an adaptation stage which is symptom free. A LACK OF SYMPTOMS IS NOT A PERFECT SIGN OF HEALTH. The patient can have deep disease and be symptom free.
Viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites all have resonant frequencies. We actively interact with frequencies all the time. Sound and color have frequencies and we experience changes in our moods, emotions and in our physical body as different waves of frequencies push against us.
Since most diseases are caused by stress of one kind or another, the Quantum Xxroid is designed to energetically scan and harmonize the body's stress and imbalances through immediate feedback on such things as possible deficiencies, toxic allergens, hormones, emotions, meridians, pain, etc.
The QXCI device is a highly complex program with electrodes attached by wires to the ankles, wrists and forehead which measure and feed frequency information between the device and the client. The ionic exchanges of reaction that take place in your body and brain (at lightning speed) are measured as energetic components in your body. With a feedback loop, the device zeros in on your frequency pulse and sends back an alternate pulse to which your body responds. In turn, your body alters its own frequency pulse, thus creating a change. For example, from pain to no pain, compulsive to anxiety-free, imbalance to balance. The Quantum Xxroid helps remove the stressors that cause disease. Cost: $180/1.5hr session

Pain Relieving Modalities Offered for Home Use
Solutions For Fractures and Treating Chronic Pain
Cellular trauma causes Inflammation and Interferes with fracture healing. A combination of physical trauma and emotional shock traumatize the bone cells in the injured area. The result of this cellular
trauma is excess inflammation, impaired healing, and pain. Anti-inflammatory medication interferes with bone healing by blocking natural inflammatory processes that are important catalysts to healing.
The unpredictable waves of the INFRATONIC 8000 work to dissolve cellular trauma, thus relaxing cells, reducing inflammation and calming the body and treating chronic pain. As the cells return to their normal function, they begin to produce the necessary chemical mediators for healing and pave the way for accelerated recovery.
Anti-Inflammatory Medications Can Impede Healing
Pharmaceutical companies have come up with a wide variety of drugs that promise to reduce inflammation and promote pain relief. Steroids (synthetic cortisol products such as cortisone) relieve pain by blocking inflammation. Other pain medications, called non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAID's) also inhibit inflammation. These products block the healing process for the sake of pain relief.
Rather than blocking all inflammatory chemicals, we need the cells to produce the optimal amount of each chemical to accelerate the natural healing process.When treating chronic pain sufferers who take anti-inflammatory medications will have a slower recovery time in comparison to that which is reported with use of th Infratonic 8000 alone. By calming the cellular trauma, the Infrotonic 8000 converts an excessive inflammatory response into an effective healing response. Anti-inflamatories block the natural inflammatory process and stall the healing response which in turn slows the healing time.
Cellular Trauma Causes Inflammation and Pain, Interfering with Surgical Recovery
When the cells of our body become traumatized by injury, infection, surgical incision, or even strong emotions, they often go into shock (cellular trauma) and start producing inflammatory chemicals in a desperate call for help. These chemicals often cause pain and interfere with the healing process. The unpredictable sound waves of the Infratonic 8000, however, effectively dissolve cellular trauma, helping to stop excess inflammation and promote chronic pain relief. As the cells stop producing inflammatory chemicals, they begin generating healing chemicals that pave the way toward accelerated recovery.
TREATMENT FOR ALL SURGERY SOLUTIONS
We recommend using the "Traumatic Injury" protocol for accelerated pain recovery: Apply the Infratonic 8000 transducer to the thymus, as well as to the area of surgery/injury and of pain. Immediately after surgery, there is often intense cellular trauma and it is uncomfortable to apply the Infratonic directly. If increased discomfort is sensed as the therapy gets close to the body, hold the transducer a foot or two away and sweep from head to toe, gradually moving the transducer closer to the injury over a period of several minutes as the cellular trauma gradually diminishes. Alternatively, place the Infratonic a foot or more away from the body, aiming at the site of injury or incision, and leave it for an hour or a day, to allow the cellular trauma to diminish more gradually.

Digital Thermal Orthotic Diagnostics
Your feet are the foundation of your body. They support you when you stand, walk, or run. And they help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from damaging stress as you move around. Your feet perform better when all their muscles, arches, and bones are in their ideal stable positions.
The foot is constructed with three arches which, when properly maintained, give exceptional supportive strength. These three arches form a supporting vault that distributes the weight of the entire body. If there is compromise of one arch in the foot, the other arches must compensate and are subject to additional stresses, which usually leads to further compromise. It’s a chain reaction.
Healthcare professionals know alleviating pain in one part of your body often requires treating a different part. The pain you feel in your neck could be caused by a misalignment in your spine that is caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet. See? It’s a chain reaction.
By stabilizing and balancing your feet, Foot Levelers orthotics enhance your body’s performance and efficiency, reduce pain, and contribute to your total body wellness. Our orthotics complement your healthcare professional’s treatment when you stand, walk, and live your active life. www.footlevelers.com
Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Without some form of rehab, recovery from an injury or long-term spinal problem can take longer to achieve. The combined effectiveness of chiropractic, physical therapy, and exercise rehabilitation (all performed at our office) can help improve motion, increase muscle strength, enhance coordination and balance and prevent your original health problem from returning again and again. All of our patients receive a set of simple exercises they can perform, while some may require the use of specialized equipment to isolate or strengthen and increase the stability of the spine.
The different types of exercise are divided into three groups:
- Active range of motion are those that are designed to stretch muscles that have been shortened and are tight.
- Gentle strengthening exercises are designed to increase endurance of the muscle or for the muscle to keep working without getting tired.
- Resistive exercises are aimed at increasing strength.
Usually this type of treatment allows a greater gap between treatment sessions as the healing process is expedited. Some injuries however, like car accidents, work, or sports injuries require a more initial intensive form of treatment. Regardless of how you choose, these exercises may be done at home or in the gym. All in all, good physical fitness is one of the best ways to reduce the factors that lead to back and extremity injuries, to minimize damage if an injury occurs, to speed recovery time and protect facet joints, discs and ligaments. Cost: Varies depending on modalites required.
Geothermic Stone Massage
The use of stones and gemstones for healing purposes dates back thousands of years. Verbal and written history confirms that the Chinese used heated stones over two thousand years ago as a means of improving the function of internal organs. Stones were used for healing w
ork in Native America, South America, Africa, Europe, Egypt & India. These traditions included laying stones in patterns on the body, carrying or wearing stones for health and protection, using stones in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and ceremonial uses, such as in sweat lodges and medicine wheels. The healing practices of "curanderas" and other women caregivers often included dealing with disease as well as pregnancy and childbirth. These Native folk healers used heated stones to diminish the discomfort of menstruation, and the application of cold stones to slow bleeding after labor. Some sources cite instances of cultures in which women believed that holding stones during labor added to their strength and endurance.
Ancient Greek and Roman cultures have a long recorded history of many forms of massage and bodywork. The Roman Empire, which dates from 27 BCE to 476 CE, is noted for its creation of the Roman baths. That tradition is still with us today in the form of modern hydrotherapy practices. The Romans used stones in saunas and combined the effects of hot immersion baths with the cooling effects of marble stone and cold pools.
There is an ever-growing body of research that confirms the positive effects of massage on the cardiovascular, lymphatic, lymphoid (immune), integumentary (including fascia), musculoskeletal, endocrine, nervous and digestive systems.
The Effects of Heat and Cold
The application of heat acts as a vasodilator, increasing circulation; increasing metabolism; increasing the inflammatory response (including a rise in leukocyte migration to the area); decreasing pain; decreasing muscle spasm; softening the tissues; and raising the body temperature.
The application of cold acts as a vasoconstrictor. The immediate short-term effect of cold is stimulating. The prolonged use of cold decreases metabolism; decreases inflammation; decreases pain; decreases muscle spasm; increases muscle tone; and has an analgesic effect. Cold applications can increase or decrease circulation depending upon the specific temperature: the colder the temperature, the greater the decrease in circulation.
Contrasting heat and cold causes the blood vessels to alternate between dilation and constriction. The overall effect is a dramatic increase in circulation. The stones can be used for a full body massage or for spot work in certain areas of the body.

Hair Mineral Analysis
Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA), is an analytical test which measures the mineral content of the hair. The sampled hair, obtained by cutting the first inch and one-half of growth closest to the scalp at the nape of the neck, is prepared in a licensed clinical laboratory through a series of chemical and high temperature digestive procedures. Testing is then performed using highly sophisticated detection equipment and methods to achieve the most accurate and precise results.
Hair is ideal tissue for sampling and testing. First, it can be cut easily and painlessly and can be sent to the lab without special handling requirements. Second, clinical results have shown that a properly obtained sample can give an indication of mineral status and toxic metal accumulation following long term or even acute exposure. A HTMA reveals a unique metabolic world: intracellular activity, which cannot be seen through most other tests. This provides a blueprint of the biochemistry occurring during the period of hair growth and development.
Hair tissue mineral analysis is supported by an impressive body of literature in a variety of respected national and international scientific publications. Over the past fifteen years, hair mineral testing has been extensive. Each year in the United States alone, federally licensed clinical laboratories perform over 150,000 hair mineral assays for health care professionals interested in an additional screening aid for a comprehensive patient evaluation. This does not take into consideration the thousands of subjects used in numerous continuing research studies conducted by private and government research agencies.
Functional assessment of the hair mineral ratios tell us physiological information about the adrenals, thyroid, sugar metabolism, male and female hormone balance, protein usage, cardiovascular system, oxidation type, parasympathetic/sympathetic dominance and more. Cost $128 - 168/test.

Saliva collection is simple, non-invasive, and can be performed in the privacy of ones home. The sample is sent by mail to the laboratory. The results will be sent to the individual or the referring practitioner within fifteen working days following the receipt of the sample(s). The hormones are stable at room temperature for up to five days and require no further handling for shipment. |
| Saliva is considered to be a better indicator of biologically active hormone levels than blood - more accurately reflecting the body's functional hormonal status. Over 20 years of research has proven the effectiveness of using saliva (instead of serum or urine) as a diagnostic medium to measure the "free" (unbound) bioavailable fraction of circulation hormones. Saliva testing provides a simple non-invasive means of determining if hormone levels are within the expected normal range for one's gender and age. It is also an accurate method of evaluating how hormone replacement therapy, topical hormone creams, sublingual drops, diet, herbal therapy and exercise influence these levels. |

Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural system of healing that works by using a small dose of a substance to help stimulate the body's healing forces. Homeopathy is an effective & safe treatment that is gentle yet extremely effective when used properly. Homeopathy is based on the principle of the "law of similars." In other words, a substance that could cause symptoms in large amounts can facilitate healing in minute homeopathic doses.
Let's look at some examples: Coffee taken full strength acts as a stimulant and can make it hard to sleep; but the remedy Coffee Cruda, which is the homeopathic for of coffee can help with insomnia. The homeopathic remedy Allium Cepa (Red Onion) is used to treat the runny nose and watery eyes that occur with a cold or hay fever, the very symptoms it would cause if one were cutting a red onion in the kitchen. There are hundreds of remedies that homeopathic practitioners use.
Who can use Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural form of healing for acute and chronic conditions. It a safe form of treatment for children and pregnant women, when the proper remedy or remedies are used. They do not cause the side effects of standard medicine, however, in order for healing to start as soon as possible the proper remedy must be taken without delay to be effective.
Homeopathic remedies come in different potencies or strengths. Some homeopathic remedies or homeopathic medicines are available over the counter while others must be obtained from a homeopathic practitioner. Often times people will try to use homeopathic remedies without guidance; when the remedy "doesn't work" they give up on homeopathy as a valid way to facilitate healing.
As a form of holistic healing, a visit to a homeopath requires precise individualization of a person's case. This means that if five patients came to a homeopathic practitioner with a diagnosis of eczema they may each be treated with a different homeopathic remedy. This is because each person's total symptom picture varies greatly.
When Would I Use Homeopathy?
Many people use homeopathic remedies at home to treat basic mild ailments and injuries. Homeopathy, as a holistic form of natural healing, is very versatile and can be used to treat many types of complaints. Infants and Children

Strength & Endurance Training
Free Weights, Core Stability, Flexibility, Endurance, Spinal Health
There has long been debate about which weight training method is better: free weights or machine weights. The truth is that both methods can help you increase your strength. The choice depends on many factors, including personal preference. Free weights simulate real-life lifting situations and promote whole-body stabilization when used correctly. Weight machines also can be effective, but they vary greatly in design. It's important to use weight machines that adjust to your body dimensions and don't restrict the range of motion of your joints. Some newer weight machines, which use cables and unrestricted motion planes, can accommodate different body sizes better than equipment that is not adjustable.
There's no one ideal piece of equipment for weight training. Many different types of resistance can be used to provide beneficial results. Finding a system that you enjoy and that is practical for your lifestyle is the key to success. Also keep in mind that whether you use weight machines or free weights, proper technique is essential to achieving the results you want while avoiding injury.
