Chiropractic .   The body's inherent power to heal is central to chiropractic's philosophy.  By making small adjustments to correct spinal and extremity misalignments, thus removing interference with spinal cord function, chiropractic can improve the body's ability to heal itself.  The brain, spinal cord and nerves control all other organs and tissues of the body.  The optimum function of the nervous system lessens the probability of disability and disease.   Chiropractic is a proven safe and effective treatment for many conditions and the secondary benefits are limitless in maintaining optimal health.

In a 2004 study from American Specialty Health Plans Inc. of San Diego. The company provides employers with health insurance coverage for complementary medicine, including chiropractic care and acupuncture. The company compared four years of back pain claims from two groups: 700,000 health plan members with chiropractic care coverage and 1 million members with the same health plan without chiropractic care coverage. It's the largest study yet of how chiropractic care affects the cost of health care, notes study co-leader Douglas Metz, DC, chief health services officer at American Specialty Health."No matter how we perform the analysis -- whether we look at total costs to the health plan, at lower back pain care, at musculoskeletal care -- in each data set, the population covered for chiropractic had a lower overall cost to the health plan than the population without access to chiropractic benefits," Metz tells WebMD. "We believe this study is the first to show that chiropractic [care] can be a cost-effective treatment option for back pain."

The report appears in the Oct. 11, 05 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine

Physical Therapies .   In conjunction with chiropractic treatments, we offer electronic muscle stimulation, ultrasound therapy, thermal therapies, aromatherapy and soft tissue therapies such as myofascial release therapy and massage.

Meditation Classes.   The connection between stress and dis-ease in the body has been well established.   Imagine being able to create a space of calm relaxation in the most chaotic of moments or to focus on a painful area and feel the pain dissipate to manageable levels or alleviate it completely...all through the power of breath.   Learn the tools that will allow you to choose to act rather than react to stressful situations.

Reiki.   Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key ) is a method of natural healing based on the application of Universal Life Force Energy (the name literally means Universal Life Force Energy ). Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing. Energy Healing involves direct application of Chi for the purpose of strengthening the client's energy system.   Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of hands-on healing. Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way.   Recipients report their experience of Reiki includes increased energy, reduction of pain, deep relaxation and a general feeling of well being.   We will be offering classes for those who are interested in learning more about this amazing healing technique, or becoming Reiki practitioners themselves.   

We will also be holding workshops and seminars for those interested in learning more about meditation and sacred traditions of the indigenous peoples.
