The chiropractic model of health is centered on the philosophy that the human body, being knit together in a wonderful way, will heal itself given the right opportunity and circumstances.
Chiropractic health care is a branch of the healing arts based on the scientific fact that our nervous system controls or influences the function of every cell in our body.  Interference to the nervous system (caused by the vertebral subluxation complex) will effect how the nervous system relates to the cells to which it travels.

As a Brain-Computer Interface treatment for A.D.D., Neurofeedback may be beneficial in improving behavioral and organizational skills at home and school,  handwriting, problem solving and listening skills and in increasing IQ and test scores.

Everyone has heard of breast cancer, and its detrimental affects on the body. But many people do not realize that there are many different types of breast cancer, though some of them are very rare.  Sometimes a breast tumor can be a mix of these types or a mixture of invasive and in situ cancer (This term is used for the early stage of cancer, when it is still only in the layer of cells where it began).

When we picture the best partner, what comes to mind?  Is it “what’s the best partner for me?” or “how can I be the best partner?”  In reality, if we want a quality partnership, we need to address both, equally.  If we don’t bring quality to the relationship or expect people to change to become compatible with us, we will end up being frustrated with the results.  Don’t just settle for any relationship; make it a great one.

Fibromyalgia Syndrome affects an estimated two percent of the population. Conventional therapies are limited in the success of treating this complex and unexplained condition. Current treatment is largely comprised of prescribing different medications for the varying symptoms in a trial and error approach.

There are times in our lives when situations occur and we have no control over them.  Events happen and our only option is to control our responses.

These groups of people knew that, by biting on an object, it would interrupt the fight or flight response, helping them to get through, and even excel at strenuous or punishing activities.

Phobia is the Ancient Greek word for fear.  A phobia is an abnormal, irrational and persistent fear of certain situations or things.  According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 19.2 million American adults suffer from one or more phobias.

“You have breast cancer.” Four dreaded words that change a woman’s life as well as the lives of those who love her. But finding breast cancer in its earliest stages can save a life — and the best available tool for breast cancer detection continues to be the mammogram.

We want to share with you the amazing results of our new weight loss and body sculpting technologies.  With our new machines, the Lipo-Derm and RF(Radio-Frequency) Cavitation system, patients are experiencing permanent and dramatic fat loss.  Most recently, by the end of our 10-session plan, 43 patients have lost four to six inches of fat from their waist areas.  Fat that doesn’t return!

The concept of removing fat from one part of the body and injecting it into another part is one of the most exciting concepts to be added to the field of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.  While fat transplantation has been done in various ways for some time (first recorded in the late 1800’s), the concept of fat transplantation by microinjection is relatively new.

With all the technology we have in our world it is very easy to become detached from the self.  Life moves faster than it ever did before.  So fast in fact that it is believed some of us will have a new disorder to cope with over stimulation disorder.  And of course there will be a drug or medication to take for it.

Many patients have recently been asking which type of Botulinum Toxin Type A is right for me.  Some patients believe that “Dysport®” is a new type of Botulinum Toxin Type A (produced by Medicis Corporation in the UK), however it is just a different formulation/mixture that has been available overseas for many years.
