Conditions We Treat
Acute and Chronic Pain
The most common symptom our patients seek relief from is pain. Our therapies can help by decreasing swelling and inflammation, releasing tight muscles, and by improving circulation of blood and lymph. They can improve your posture and range of motion, decrease or eliminate your need for medications, and even help you avoid surgery. Our therapies are also beneficial for reducing and managing chronic pain when there is permanent tissue damage due to trauma or injury.
Internal Organ Issues
Our therapies can be used to address issues of any of the internal organ systems and between us we treat a range of conditions similar to what a Medical Doctor in general practice would treat. In certain conditions we may focus on improving the functioning of the system, increasing peristalsis in the large intestine to address constipation, for example. In other cases we may focus on strengthening or nourishing the system, like boosting immunity in order to treat frequent colds. Another treatment principle is to clear out things like inflammation, phlegm, or excess fluids.
Emotional Imbalances
There is a huge demand for natural therapies for conditions like anxiety and depression. Many people suffer from these things and seek alternatives to conventional treatments like prescription drugs because they can be habit-forming or may come with significant side-effects. Our therapies offer excellent alternatives to drugs and are not addictive or toxic. If you are already on prescription drugs, our therapies can even help you gradually and safely wean yourself off of them. Unlike more conventional treatments, our therapies also seek to address the underlying cause of the emotional issue so that you can stay more balanced when the course of treatment is over.
Complex or Chronic Conditions
Many people come to us because they have complicated or long-standing conditions which they have been unable to resolve or even diagnose through more conventional avenues. Our therapies can often be effective when others have not been because they offer a different way of thinking about the how the body works, how disease develops, what symptoms mean, and how to treat them. Our therapies can also be helpful in conditions when symptoms are vague or test results are inconclusive.
Wellness and Prevention
Regular treatments with our therapies can help strengthen your system overall, keep you emotionally centered, and address your unique inherited constitutional weaknesses to prevent the conditions that they predispose you to. Furthermore, if you are just starting to have symptoms, we can help you neutralize them while they are still mild, before they have time to advance and take root. Utilizing our therapies in this way helps you to maintain a higher overall state of health, saving you money and discomfort in the long run.
