Acupuncture has been used for over 4000 years to help indirectly regulate brain and body function through the stimulation of specific acupuncture points as well as general zones of the body.  While previously shrouded under notions of mysticism and explained with religious overtones, recent studies using advanced functional MRI 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 ways of treating over 2000 known conditions.  Discover what acupuncture can do for you.

Man has used plants and animals since the beginning of time not only to treat ailments, but to build and heal our bodies.  Our bodies 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. perscription herbs, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and homeopathics.

Lab Based Nutrition is a unique way of looking at standard blood work and urinalysis.  Unlike most lab interpretation, we look beyond the abnormal ranges and view your labs from within a more well defined "optimal" range.  This allows us to look at trends over time and discover if potential health risks have been overlooked.   We also run unique lab tests to help identify functional imbalances. This unique approach is becoming more and more popular as people are discovering the benefits of preventative and functional medicine.  Discover what you may be missing by having us run a complimentary analysis of your current blood work, or by having us order testing for you.  No Insurance?  Don't worry, we have contracted with local labs to offer discounted prices for most tests performed.

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.
