Our Services

Alternative Healthcare Center provides a variety of services and therapies to meet your individual needs.

Services include:

Chiropractic
The study of problems of health and disease from a structural point of view. Special consideration is given to bio-mechanics and neurological relations - disease may be caused or aggravated by disturbances of the nervous system - disturbances of the nervous system may be caused by derangements of the muscular, skeletal structures.

Acupuncture
Is a component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), a medical system that originated in China thousands of years ago and still is widely practiced there. Scientific evidence strongly supports claims that the practice may help relieve pain. It's commonly used to treat a number of other conditions as well -- from arthritis and allergies to infertility and depression. The practice of acupuncture centers on inserting very thin needles into the skin at key points to help regulate energy flow in the body.

Applied Kinesiology
This holistic approach to healthcare draws together various complimentary therapies. AK helps determine the cause of the problem through non-evasive measures such as posture and gait analysis, range of motion, palpation and manual muscle testing.

These assessments are used along with standard methods of diagnosis such as clinical history, physical examination findings, laboratory tests, x-ray examination and instrumentation. This information is used as a guide for the doctor to determine which therapies will be most effective for the patient.

Individual muscle tests are performed to see how nerves in the body react to physical, chemical and emotional stress. These tests also show a direct correlation between specific muscles and organs which is helpful when treating chronic problems either muscular or organ in nature.

As an AK doctor I do not fix or cure any disease. Rather I have a way to evaluate and restore proper function of the nervous system thereby allowing the body to once again regulate its own health. We have in all of us the potential to be well. It is up to the doctor and the patient to be sure this inborn potential for health and healing is free from any interference.

N.E.T.
As we know, our emotions can directly effect our body chemistry. It is when these emotions get linked to a specific physiological response that we have problems. Have you even smelled a specific scent and remembered an earlier time or event? This is an example of this linkage. Other times our emotions get linked to pain or other traumas in our life, so when we experience the emotion we get the pain and vice versa we can feel the pain and get the emotion. In oriental medicine different emotions relate to specific organs such as fear to kidneys, anger to liver, grief to lungs, etc. This brings about a new technique which addresses chronic problems which may be originating in an organ or its related emotion. This technique is safe, gentle and effective.

Nutritional Counseling
Supporting the body nutritionally allows the body to heal within the tissues and is used independently or in tandem with other modalities. Giving the body the nutritional support it needs to heal, is our goal.
