Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation:
When a spinal vertebra is prevented from moving freely due to the distortion of its natural position, interruption within the nerve flow/signal of spinal nerves to the brain and back to the body tissues results. This condition is referred to as vertebral Subluxation. If this condition is not corrected, the organs and glands can not function properly. Sublxations compromises body’s innate healing ability creating abnormal body chemistry, disease and accelerated deterioration. Correcting Subluxation greatly improves the body’s ability to regain optimal health through enhancing body’s self healing mechanism.
“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame in diet and in cause and prevention of disease.”
~Thomas Edison

Applied Kinesiology and Neuro-Organizational Technique (N.O.T.)
Applied kinesiology is a test of functional neurology — how the nervous system manifests in the musculoskeletal system. Kinesiology was developed by Dr. George Goodheart (chiropractor). It is based on an understanding of connections between muscles, organs, glands, body chemistry, Acupuncture Meridians, the brain and nervous system.
Using muscle testing as its primary tool, it offers an insight into the way your own body creates patterns through movement. It is also used to assess the status of primitive survival reflexes and patterns of responses developed throughout life. It will also assess head and neck stability, structural balance, posture and muscular coordination.
The N.O.T. procedures, used in conjunction with kinesiology is derived from research pertaining to Applied Kinesiology, Nutrition, Craniopathy, Neurology, Acupuncture and chiropractic procedures. It was developed by Dr. Carl Ferreri, chiropractor USA.
Its philosophy is that the body was created to survive on its own in a hostile environment. It is genetically designed to function in a specific pattern for all its essential primitive needs such as digestion, reproduction and fight/flight. These functions are controlled by the nervous system (the brain, spinal cord and its network of nerves to muscles, organs and tissues), which continually monitors all of these mechanisms, deal with them as needed, and, when necessary, creates compensatory functions to survive.
These functions can be disrupted by on-going stress and/or trauma, such as:
- physical (falls, car accidents, birth trauma, head injury and etc)
- emotional (loss of loved one/s, divorce, bankruptcy, emotional abuse, rape)
- chemical (environmental toxins, viruses, drugs, heavy metal toxicity and infections)
N.O.T. is an organized examination and treatment protocol addressing the body’s neurological, structural and biochemical priorities and its ability to respond to environmental stress/stimuli effectively and efficiently.
Following conditions have shown to positively respond to N.O.T. treatments:
- ADD/ADHD
- Chronic low back and neck pain
- Learning disability
- Chronic headaches
- food/chemical sensitivity
- stroke
- poor immunity
- snoring, sleep apnea, and sleep disorders
- Fibromyalgia
- Repetitious athletic injuries
- Post traumatic concussion syndrome

Craniopathy
Craniopathy is a specialized field in chiropractic focusing on the health benefits of micro-motion in the bones of the skull (cranium), its distortions and resulting ill effects? This gentle and exquisitely relaxing technique stimulates micro-motion within the cranial bones, enhancing circulation of the cerebro-spinal fluid (C.S.F.). C.S.F. transports nutrition, removes waste products and provides an ideal and essential medium for nerve signal conduction. Its circulation is absolutely essential to good health.
C.S.F. is created in four compartments in the brain and is supplied to the nervous system through the gentle pulsing action created by breathing. This delicate mechanism can be interrupted by falls, accidents, head injuries, viral infections and prolonged mental and emotional stress.
This science has been developed through study, research and clinical application over the last 100 years, by individuals such as Dr. Upledger, Dr. DeJarnette, Dr. Mark Pick and many more pioneers who have contributed to its development.

Chiropractic Neurology
Chiropractic Neurology marries the biomechanics/orthopedic aspect of chiropractic care with the latest techniques of assessment and rehabilitation of the central nervous system.The nervous system consist of the brain, spinal vertebra , spinal nerves which carry information from body to the brain and vise versa, and series of build in reflexes to response to respond or react to the internal(body) and external environment . This response depends on how the brain integrates incoming information.The goal is to identify areas of the brain which have fatigue. Most individuals may have fatigue in the left or right side of the brain, creating imbalances, giving rise to their present symptoms. After a thorough functional neurological examination, you are provided with a series of neuro-modulation exercises and if necessary a series of specific treatment programs to enhance the function of the nervous system.
The treatment includes chiropractic adjustments, brain exercises, light, heat, water, sound, and electric stimulation, N.O.T and Brain nutrition. When these stimulation modalities are specifically and correctly applied to your case immediate results are often observed. Your nervous system will begin to regain its optimal function and you will begin to regain your health and vitality.

Hypoxic Training (Enhancing Cellular Oxygenation and Energy Production)
Intermittent Hypoxic Treatment (IHT) is a form of adaptive medicine, an innovative and growing branch of science and healing. Adaptive medicine makes use of the fact that by adapting to new and challenging environmental conditions or physical loads, an organism will develop its genetic potential to withstand these challenges. The changes that come about can result in increased health and wellbeing through a number of different mechanisms – including improved stress handling ability, increased oxygen efficiency, improved metabolic efficiency, improved ability to handle free radicals due to an increase in the body’s internal anti-oxidant system capacity and improved brain/nervous system adaptability.
IHT increases the ability of the body to metabolize, transport and utilize oxygen. Adaptation to a lower oxygen environment causes the body to produce a chain of biological reactions, extracting more oxygen from the cells. Heart, spleen and lungs are also stimulated to increase their functions. The body then has an increased functional reserve that can offset fatigue and enhance areas of functioning in the body that require oxygen.
After adaptation to lower levels of oxygen have been achieved, (generally 10-20 sessions), is common to find increased levels of certain enzymatic antioxidants, such as glutathione peroxidase and super oxide dismutase in the body. Increased neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, improved metabolic efficiency, improved blood sugar, insulin levels, and neuroendocrine function, as well as increased tolerance to toxic substances and improved tolerance to exercise.
______________________________________________________________________
In elite athletes, courses of IHT has been shown to regularly improve their performances by 1-3%. Non-athletes who begin an exercise program along with IHT can have exceptional increases in their fitness.
______________________________________________________________________
IHT for the non-athlete can be made part of an overall program with diet and exercise for improving energy, stamina, fitness and weight loss. In the athletic world, hypoxic training has already become a standard feature of sportsmen’s training processes. Significant Improvements are Apparent in the following Illnesses In general, IHT improves overall homeostasis and immunological status. The later means that the occurrence of allergies and inflammatory diseases decrease and resistance to infections increase. This has been observed with continuous exposure to altitude as well as with IHT.
Studies have shown improvements to conditions such as:
- Ischemic heart diseases
- Hypertension
- Neurocirculatory asthenia
- Asthma and chronic bronchitis
- Ulcerative disease of the stomach and duodenum
- Liver and Pancreas diseases
- Diseases of locomotion
- Inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, rhinitis, auto-immune thyroiditis and inflammatory skin diseases
- Anxiety and depression
- Infertility and improved pregnancy outcome
- Insulin resistance
- Sleep disorders, such as snoring, sleep apnea and insomnia
- Other benefits:
- Assists mild and moderate asthma
- Reduced fatigue
- Improves mental ability
- Reduces moderate stress levels
- Reduces blood pressure and moderate hypertension
- Improves metabolism
- Reduces work sick leave
- Increases energy levels
- Improves the immune system
- Reduces cholesterol

Thought Field Therapy:
When we view our experiences as a continuous stressful situation, we will operate from a survival level and utilize the rest of the brain from for our survival only. This gives rise to habitual thoughts of negativity, worthlessness, hopelessness, guilt and procrastination. We resist change whilst everything around us continues to change, forcing us increasingly to go with it. This is when stress becomes dis-stress.
Thought field therapy is a technique which helps to eliminate fears, phobias, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, anger, addictions. It is a technique which is based on the principles of meridians or energy pathways similar to acupuncture but is done without needles. By tapping on different acupuncture points along the energy pathways, the most deep seated negative emotions vanish. TFT was developed by Dr. Roger Callahan, a clinical Psychologist, in USA some 25 years ago.
