 |  | | | | Acupuncture | |  | | Acupuncture therapy promotes health and alleviates pain and suffering. It has been used to treat a wide range of symptoms and diseases. This treatment approach has been time tested over thousands of years and continues to be validated today even though your mainstream medical doctor may not tell you about it.
Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine surgical-quality needles into specific points on the body. These points are chosen based on the person's symptoms and Chinese medical diagnosis. The scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals either change the experience of pain, or they trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones, which influence or balance the body's own internal regulating system. Today acupuncture is being practiced around the world.
 | | | | | IV Therapy | |  | | Intravenous (IV) therapy delivers high doses of nutrients directly into the blood for immediate use by the body. The absorption is dramatically increased because it bypasses the digestive or gastrointestinal tract (GI). The blood is able to accept a higher dose of nutrients than the GI tract. For example, you can easily give 10 g of vitamin C to someone through IV, but 10 g or more orally can cause unpleasant side effects such as diarrhea.
The GI tract is where the absorption of nutrients takes place and when supplements or pills are taken the assumption is that the GI tract is healthy. Absorption may be impaired for those with any type of GI dysfunction. There is also a limit to how much the GI tract can absorb at one time, which is why it is often recommended that supplements be taken more than once per day.
IV therapy has shown to be very effective in treating the following health conditions: Acute and Chronic Viral Infections, Bronchitis and Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Adrenal Burnout and Chronic Fatigue, Cancer, Depression and Anxiety, Digestive Disorders, Muscle Spasms and Low Back Pain, Vitamin and Mineral Deficiencies, Heavy Metal Toxicity.
IV therapy is a great way to jump start your body with nutrients or help your body recover faster. Each formulation is created with the patient's unique needs in mind. The end results are enhanced recovery time from illness and the prevention of relapse.
| | | | | Prolotherapy | |  | | Prolotherapy is a treatment for chronic pain. Pain can be induced by auto accidents, sports injuries or overuse. Ligaments and tendons are often over-stretched in these situations. Due to the low blood supply, these areas do not heal quickly and often times stay in a "stretched-out" state. This will make the joint feel "loose", dislocate easily or to compensate for the laxity in that area, the muscle will spasm to keep the tissues taut, thus resulting in chronic pain.
In most cases, commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory medications and more drastic measures like surgery and joint replacement may not help, and often hinder or even prevent the healing process. Prolotherapy is a simple, natural technique that stimulates the body to repair the painful area when the natural healing process needs assistance.
It stimulates the body's natural healing system, beginning with a process called inflammation. The technique involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution) that causes an inflammatory response, which initiates the healing process. The growth of new ligament and tendon tissue is then stimulated. After prolotherapy treatment the ligaments and tendons appear thicker and stronger.
Prolotherapy has the potential of being 100 percent effective at eliminating chronic pain due to ligament and tendon weakness and can be used to treat arthritis, mechanical low back pain, degenerative disc disease, cartilage damage, and sports injuries. No other therapy will actually help repair, rebuild and strengthen ligaments and tendons the way prolotherapy does.
