NUTRITION RESPONSE TESTING

Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive method of analyzing the body for unknown allergens and toxins. These toxins may include food allergies, metals, chemicals, and immune system responses.  Toxins may be causing underlying stress or dysfunction in certain areas or organs in your body.  This dysfunction often manifests itself by presenting symptoms; such as headaches, IBS, heartburn, stomach pain, joint pain, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, and inconsistent sleep patterns. When these are corrected through safe, natural, nutritional means, the body can repair itself to obtain optimum health.  

Our process involves setting up an initial analysis to see where the dysfunction lies within your body, then recommending a personalized whole food health improvement program. Lastly, we recommend follow up visits to monitor your progress and help you achieve your goals!

FUNCTIONAL BOWEN THERAPY

Functional Bowen Therapy is a non-invasive, holistic modality used to release muscle tension/dysfunction. In theory, the skeletal system cannot misalign itself. Rather, misalignment occurs when the tension on the neuromuscular system is too great to self-correct. This condition can result in an inefficient amount of blood flow, restricted range of motion, an inhibition of proper motor function.

Functional Bowen Therapy uses a “slack and roll” technique over the muscle fibers, which sends a signal to the nervous system to relax the tension held within the muscle belly and restore proper blood flow. The benefits of more blood in the musculature is restored range of motion.

Functional Bowen Therapy is not a “one and done” type of therapy. Each visit will increase the amount of functionality and range of motion to the musculature through the use of the Bowen technique, heat, and stretching. Benefits can be accelerated when Bowen is employed in conjunction with supportive tasks performed at home.

What do the appointment visits include?
Initial visits are approximately 1 hour in length where we will going over medical history, an assessment of range of motion, and a treatment. With the information gathered, the session is tailored to what is going on with the individual. Because the body works as a whole, the body is worked on top to bottom and front to back, with emphasis on areas needed. Clients are given a few tasks to do at home to keep the blood flow moving. Any follow up visit for adults is 45 minutes and includes a few minutes of heat therapy to aid in the release of muscle tension. Follow up visits for children are 30 minutes.

How many treatments will I need?
Every body is different and responds differently to treatment. So there is no magic number of sessions one will need. I recommend 4-6 weeks with one session a week. Then reevaluate where your body is at that point to make a plan for further appointments. Results are increased quicker when done in association with modalities such as Chiropractic, Acupunture, and/or Nutrition Response Testing.

HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a safe, non-invasive modality that increases oxygen levels throughout the entire body. While in a hyperbaric chamber, a patient breathes pressurized oxygen. There are a wide variety of hyperbaric chambers, which can deliver different levels of pressure and different levels of oxygen. Soft sided chambers reach 1.3. Atmospheres Absolute (ATA), or close to the equivalent of 11 feet under water. These can operate with ambient air, which contains 19-21% oxygen or they can operate with oxygen concentrators to increase the level. High pressure chambers can reach much higher pressures, but typically treat up to 3 ATA and can utilize ambient air all the way up to 100% oxygen levels. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy works based on 2 main laws of physics: Henry’s Law and Boyle’s Law.

Henry’s Law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid. In essence, pressure is required for a gas (oxygen) to effectively dissolve into a liquid (blood plasma). When inside a hyperbaric environment, greater levels of oxygen are able to reach deep into the tissues of the body.

Boyle’s Law states that when temperature is constant, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure and the density of a gas is directly proportional to the pressure. As pressure increases, the size of oxygen molecules decrease, creating a denser oxygen environment. Oxygen molecules in the alveolus (lung membrane) become more concentrated and make it possible for more oxygen molecules to be transferred to the blood by diffusion, which saturates the blood plasma.

We all know that oxygen is the foundation for life; every single cell in our body requires oxygen in order to keep every bodily process functioning properly. Oxygen is carried throughout the body via the circulatory system, specifically on the red blood cells. Prolonged lack of oxygen equals death. Many people don’t realize that oxygen can be depleted or blocked in small, localized areas of the body. If trauma occurs to tissue, whether from injury, infection, or stress, the inflammatory process will work to respond to the wounded area by encasing it with fluid and calling up the immune system to work on recovering the wound. While the inflammatory process is a necessary action in the healing process, it can also inadvertently cause more harm to surrounding tissues. The swelling caused by fluid buildup puts pressure on blood vessels that run through the injured area. This pressure can lead to narrowing or complete blockage of blood flow. If adequate blood flow can’t reach the injury, there will not be enough oxygen delivery to help the cells rebuild and recover the damaged tissue.

Inflammation is well known to be the main trigger of symptoms for most diseases, and without enough oxygen, inflammation can’t be easily controlled. Oxygen is one of the main natural anti-inflammatories our body utilizes to heal injuries. Dr. Dan Rossignol, MD, has found that 1 hour of oxygen delivery via hyperbaric chamber has the same anti-inflammatory power as 12,000mg of Motrin. Because the higher pressure of a hyperbaric chamber dissolves oxygen into the plasma, the circulatory system is able to deliver several times more oxygen to stressed or damaged tissue, from the brain all the way down to the toes. Thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties of increased oxygen and pressure, there are almost 200 conditions that hyperbaric have been used for with success from sports recovery all the way to severe traumatic brain injury.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been shown to:

• Positively affect 8,101 genes (particularly genes involved in reducing inflammation and stimulating tissue repair/growth)

• Reduce inflammation due to injury, disease or infection

• Reduce pain

• Reduce recovery times from injuries and surgical procedures

• Create new blood vessels (Angiogenesis)

• Kill anaerobic (oxygen hating) bacteria, viruses, cancerous cells

• Stimulate stem cell growth

• Correct genetic markers (Epigenetic)

• Detoxify organs and tissues

• Support the immune system and so much more
