PERSONAL, EFFECTIVE, & AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE
Dr. Steve & Dr. Eric's unique style of personalized evaluations
and treatment are what makes their care so powerful and
effective. After observing and working with multiple health care
disciplines, both Dr. Steve and Dr. Eric have found that most
therapists and doctors base their treatments on the findings of a
limited set of tests. This results in not discovering hidden and/or
co-existing conditions the patient may be suffering from. Most
underlying problems are not felt immediately – you don’t feel
high cholesterol, or diabetes, or high white blood count until it is
severe enough to cause damage to the body – this is why early
testing and prevention is so important. Pain is the same way as well. Unless you had a
clear cut slip, trip, fall, or accident - your pain is most likely the results of small
repetitive injuries that have built up over time - and you are just now feeling the effects -
as pain. Dr. Steve & Eric thus employ a variety of unique tests in the office. When you
learn to identify problems early, treat them yourself when appropriate, and seek help
when self care isn’t enough – you become empowered to not just avoid sickness, but
to create health.
The doctor of the future will
give no medicine, but will
interest her or his patients in
the care of the human frame,
in a proper diet, and in the
cause and prevention of
disease.

ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture has been used for over 4000 years to help
indirectly regulate brain and body function through the
stimulation of specific acupuncture points and general areas of
the body. While previously shrouded under notions of
mysticism and explained with religious overtones, recent
studies using advanced functional MRI’s have actually shown
that acupuncture directly affects the brain – consistently,
repeatedly, and point/location specific. No longer is it left to
the realm of placebo, but is an actual therapy recognized by
the World Health Organization as one of the most cost
effective way of treating over 2000 known conditions.

HERBAL MEDICINES
Man has used plants and animals since the
beginning of time to not only treat ailments,
but to build and heal our bodies. We are
literally made up of plants, animals, earth, and
water; from the protein that makes muscles
and hair, to the minerals in our bones, and the
fat that makes up our brain, nerves, and
hormones. Whether it be a deficiency,
imbalance, or excess of these chemicals we
call food – everything in our body can be
repaired, restored, and/or supported with the
proper herbs, plants, or animal parts, both in
food form and in concentrated form – i.e.
supplements or vitamins.
EXERCISES, MASSAGE & CHIROPRACTIC
The body is an outward expression of ourselves. Through daily activities (jobs,
recreational events, slips & falls) we end up with a physical body that has aches and pains
- sometimes mild, sometimes severe. While drugs can help ease the pain, they do not
correct the postural and muscular imbalances that are creating
the pain. Chiropractic, massage, and physical therapies can
help restore normal joint, muscle, ligament, disc, and
neurological function to reduce the damaging effects of our
daily activities.
CUSTOM ORTHOTICS, BRACES, & PILLOWS
While you might not think about these items as a form of health care, think
again. What you stand on all day, and what you sleep on all night impacts not
only how you feel, but how you function. Not only are custom braces and
supports used to help support damaged parts like a wrist or shoulder, but
they are designed to correct problems through slow molding of your body –
much like braces for the teeth. Support your health by supporting your body.
