The treatment modalities utilized
in my practice include:
Clinical nutrition:
Dietary evaluation and recommendations.
Foods that could be aggravating or causing an illness are
eliminated and deficiencies in certain essential nutrients
are identified and supplemented.
Botanical medicine:
The use of plant substances (leaf, root,
bark) in the treatment of disease or other health disorders.
Homeopathy:
The use of remedies made from weak or infinitesimal
doses of substances (plant, animal, mineral) that have been
potentized (diluted and shaken) to stimulate a natural healing
response in an individual with a disease or other health
disorder. Homeopathic prescribing involves taking a thorough
history of the patient's life, including mental and physical
symptoms, and matching these symptoms to the remedy that
fits the totality (entire symptom picture) of their symptoms
most closely.
Hydrotherapy:
The use of water in treatment of disease
or other health disorder. The water may be in any form (hot,
cold, ice, steam etc) and may be applied internally (steam
inhalation), or externally (sauna, hot/cold towel applications,
and baths of various temperatures etc.)
Chinese medicine:
The use of acupuncture to promote the unrestricted
flow of Qi (energy) in the body as well as the use of chinese
herbs in the treatment of disease or other health disorder.
Cranio-sacral therapy:
In a healthy individual there is a rhythmic
motion in the cranio-sacral system created by the rise and
fall of cerebrospinal fluid (which surrounds the brain and
spinal cord). In various states of illness this rhythmic
motion is altered. Cranio-sacral therapy involves the gentle
assessment and manipulation of the bones of the skull and
sacrum and release of fascial restrictions (the fascia is
the layer of fibrous tissue that covers the entire body
beneath the skin). The ultimate goal being restoration of
the cranio-sacral rhythm and well being.
