Essential to promoting optimal cell functions. It provides a nutritional assessment of deficiencies that are vital to achieving wellness and chronic disease prevention. The digestive system’s main function is to absorb nutrients from food we eat. Your body will use vitamins, proteins, fats, and calories to carry out various jobs around your body. Having any type of digestive issues may not absorb nutritional components properly and nutritional deficiencies may exist. Nutritional deficiencies can contribute to many factors affecting wellness and the onset of chronic disease.
Our office is strictly Holistic and relies on the body for self healing and self repairing, through vitamin supplementation, nutrition, & exercise
Calcium: A mineral that is an essential part of bones and teeth. The heart, nerves, and blood clotting systems.
Copper: Helps with the formation of collagen, it increases the absorption of iron and plays a role in energy.
Chromium: Essential part of the process that regulates the blood sugar so it can be used for energy. Chromium involved in the metabolism of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.
Methylmalonic Acid: Increased methylmalonic acid levels may indicate a vitamin B12 deficiency.
Magnesium: Is the master mineral. As an electrolyte, it tells water where to go to in the body. One example of this is how lack of magnesium can lead to swelling and edema, which is an over-concentration of water in some areas of the body. Needed mineral for healthy bones, heart, muscles, and nerves. An excellent way to support hydration in the skin, regulates temperature, produces and transport energy, transmits nerve signals, relaxes muscles, and lowers the blood pressure. Magnesium deficiency has been shown to be a factor in dozens of health conditions including heart disease, anxiety, migraines, insomnia, and diabetes.
Potassium: Lowers blood pressure and can decrease your risks of a stroke. Inflammation
Vitamin A: Fat Soluble vitamin that is also a powerful antioxidant that plays a critical role in maintaining healthy vision, skin, and building strong bones. Also reduces inflammation by fighting free radicals.
Vitamin B1: Also known as thiamine, maintains good function of muscles, the nervous system, and carbohydrate metabolism. Very little thiamine is stored in the body and depletion can occur within 14 days.
Vitamin B2: Also known as riboflavin, helps to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Also makes it possible for oxygen to be used by the body.
Vitamin B3: Also known as niacin, relieves pain and stiffness with arthritis. Lowers the density of cholesterol and triglycerides (linked to heart disease and cancer) which are flushed out of the body.
Vitamin B5: Also known as pantothenate which alleviates conditions such as allergies, stress, and anxiety. This vitamin helps to boost immunity, reduce osteoarthritis, and signs of aging and increase resistance to certain types of infection.
Vitamin B6: Also known as pyridoxine, is involved in the process of making serotonin (mood balance) and norepinephrine (responds to physically perceived stress), these chemicals transmit signals in the brain. This vitamin is involved in the formation of myelin (a protein layer that forms around nerve cells).
Vitamin B7: Also known as biotin, promotes healthy hair and nails. This vitamin assists in converting carbohydrates, proteins, fats into cellular energy.
Vitamin B9: Also known as folate, this folic acid works closely with Vitamin B12 to help make red blood cells and help iron work efficiently in the body.
Vitamin B12: Also known as cyanocobalamin, helps to better your mood, energy level, memory, heart, skin, hair, and digestion just to name a few.
Vitamin C: Optimizes production and function of collagen an essential component of connective tissue, which plays a vital role in wound healing.
Vitamin D: Is important in bone health and is involved in the uptake of calcium and phosphorus. Lacking in Vitamin D is associated with cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
Vitamin E: Also known as tocopherol, protects the cell membrane and tissues from damage by oxidation. It promotes function of a healthy circulatory system. Also aids the formation of RBC and the use of Vitamin K.
Vitamin K: Key role in helping blood clot.
Food Allergy & Sensitivity Panel:
This testing identifies cellular reactions to food, it is the most efficient way to identify “problem foods”. They can often be the hidden cause of health issues such as weight gain, asthma, eczema, headaches, migraines, digestive problems, and many others. Food allergies and sensitives typically cause more subtle signs and symptoms, it can be difficult to detect food sensitivity because often the symptoms wont manifest until well after an offending food has been ingested. These sensitivities can affect you 24-72 hours after ingestion and for this reason food sensitivities are often not suspected as the cause of health problems, and can go unnoticed for a long time.
Applied Kinesiology:
What is applied kinesiology?
Sometimes abbreviated as AK, applied kinesiology uses functional assessments of the musculoskeletal system, both at rest and while moving, to help determine the underlying cause of issues like pain or stiffness. Assessments can include:
an analysis of the way the patient stands, walks, and completes other activities
an assessment of the patient's range of motion
a neurologic evaluation
hands-on palpation, or feeling of muscles and other tissues and structures, both at rest and during specific movements
manual muscle testing
motion and movement analysis
Assessments can be customized for the symptoms and medical needs of each patient to ensure the patient's specific issues are adequately addressed. In conjunction with a physical examination, a complete personal and family medical history, and lab testing will be conducted, (when needed). These functional assessments can offer the treatment provider a more comprehensive understanding of the cause of symptoms so therapy can be more targeted and effective.
Chiropractic Care:
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care includes all the methods and treatments used by chiropractors to address issues affecting the spine and other areas of the body, including techniques used to treat acute and chronic pain as well as disease and illness and issues affecting function or mobility. Chiropractic care focuses on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems to achieve meaningful, long-term relief without relying on drugs or surgery. Because the nerves travel to every tissue and organ in the body to facilitate normal functioning, chiropractic care is used to treat an array of conditions, providing patients with a “whole health” approach to care that can relieve symptoms while also helping patients to maintain optimal health and wellness at every age.
How does chiropractic care help promote better health?
Chiropractic care uses different techniques to promote whole-body health, including spinal adjustments, physical therapy, physiotherapy, and massage, for a holistic approach aimed at improving the nerve-brain pathways, stimulating circulation and improving lymphatic drainage, so toxins and waste products are removed from tissues more efficiently. Together, the techniques used in chiropractic can help patients restore normal function, relieve pain and other symptoms and restore health without turning to long-term sue of drugs or invasive surgery.
Pain Relief Q & A:
How can chiropractic care provide pain relief?
Chiropractors help relieve pain in several ways. First, chiropractic adjustments can be used to realign the bones and discs in the spine. The spine provides a pathway for nerves traveling from the brain to the rest of the body. When this pathway is disrupted, signals cannot get through, and widespread pain and dysfunction can occur. Second, adjustments, massage, and physical therapy can all be used to promote better circulation and lymphatic drainage to promote optimal healing and remove toxins and wastes that can build up in tissues, causing pain and other symptoms. Chiropractic care also helps to promote better flexibility and strength, relieving stiffness and improving pain-free range of motion.
Can chiropractors provide pain relief for areas other than the spine?
Yes, chiropractors are skilled in helping patients manage and relieve pain throughout the body, providing holistic, patient-centered care for optimal results and long-term relief.
