Acupuncture is an effective form of health care which has
treatment for many chronic and acute conditions. Acupuncture
promotes healing, decreases pain and strengthens the whole body.
An excellent support for injuries, it is also an effective
treatment for various internal disorders such as anxiety,
headaches, and digestive complaints.
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural,
chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing
with other standard methods of diagnosis. The doctor using AK
finds a muscle that is unbalanced and then attempts to determine
why that muscle is not functioning properly. Treatments may
involve specific joint manipulation, various myofascial therapies,
cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical
nutrition, dietary management, counseling skills, evaluating
environmental irritants and various reflex procedures. AK uses the
Triad of Health That is Chemical, Mental and Structural factors
that balance the major health categories. The triad of health is
interactive and all sides must be evaluated for the underlying
cause of problems. A health problem on one side of the triad can
affect the other sides. For example, a chemical imbalance can
cause mental symptoms. AK enables the doctor to evaluate the
triad’s balance and direct therapy towards the imbalance side or
sides.
ART is a patented, state-of-the-an soft tissue system that
treats problems with muscles, ligaments, fascia, tendons and
nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin
splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee
problems, and tenths elbow are just a few of the many conditions
that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART. These
conditions all have one important thing in common: they are often
a result of overused muscles. Over used muscles (and other soft
tissues) change in three important ways:
- Acute conditions (pulls, tears, collisions,
etc.)
- Accumulation of small tears (micro-trauma)
- Not getting enough oxygen (hypoxia)
Each of these factors can cause your body to produce tough, dense
scar tissue in affected area. This scar binds up and ties down tissues
that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up muscles become
shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes’ tendonitis, and nerves
can become trapped. This can cause decreased motion, loss strength,
and pain. If a nerve is trapped you may feel tingling, numbness and
weakness. Every ART session is actually a combination of examination
and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the
texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons ligaments
and nerve tissues. Combining precisely directed tension with very
specific patient movements treats abnormal tissues. These treatment
protocols -over 500 specific moves- are unique to ART. They allow
providers to identi1~ and correct the specific problems that are
affecting each individual patient, ART is not a cookie cutter
approach.
