Specialties

Applied Kinesiology

Applied kinesiology (AK) is a form of diagnosis using muscle testing to examine how a person’s body is functioning. Applied Kinesiologists evaluate the structural, biochemical, and emotional aspects of health. Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture treatment, clinical nutrition, dietary management, various reflex procedures as well as evaluating environmental sensitivities.

Total Body Modification

TBM is a technique that eliminates blockages, thus freeing the body to heal itself. The stressed organ or body area is located by using reflex points and muscle testing.  The cause of the stress is determined and the problem is then corrected by restoring balance to the entire nervous system.

Neural Therapy

Often referred to as “German Acupuncture”, Neural Therapy is a treatment system for chronic pain and illness. It involves the injection of local anesthetics into peripheral nerves, scars, glands, trigger points, and other tissues. It is believed to act through normalizing the illness-related dysfunction of the nervous system. Neural Therapy, as a comprehensive healing system, is virtually unknown to most practitioners in the US. In German speaking countries it has become one of the most widely used modalities in the treatment of chronic pain and intractable illness.

Neuro Emotional Technique

The NET method is a blend of many techniques and principles that make use of the neuro-mechanisms of manual muscle testing, emotions, acupuncture meridian system, reflex points, case history taking and adjustments to the spine. NET does not treat emotions, but rather the bodily complex in which an emotion is a component part.

NET is safe and effective, and is a natural way to instantly resolve longstanding health problems by resolving the emotional components that accompany the physical symptoms.

NET practitioners are almost unlimited in their ability to address physical and behavioral or emotional conditions of all kinds. Examples of conditions that NET practitioners have helped include relieving headaches and body pains of all types and banishing phobias, general anxiety, self-sabotaging behaviors, organ dysfunctions and much, much more. It is important to note that NET does not cure or heal the patient. Rather, NET removes blocks to the natural vitality of the body, allowing the body to repair itself.
