Why Our Unique Pain Treatment Works So Well...
We address the root cause
We are experts at discovering the ROOT CAUSE of your pain, not just masking the symptoms. Our treatments will help you get rid of your discomfort.
We customize the treatment to you
All of us are unique. Therefore, to assume that treatment should be the same for everyone does not serve you. Your condition is personal, so your treatment needs to be as well. |
We help your body heal itself, without drugs or surgery
We will give you strategies to help heal your pain, and keep it from coming back. |
We keep it simple
We use same, 100% natural therapies to make the biggest difference. The biggest side effect you can expect is feeling fantastic.
Our Process
STEP ONE: Compile a Clear and Detailed Root Cause Assessment
We will take a detailed history, review any other data you have received about your pain, and listen to all your overall symptoms to get to the root cause of your condition.
STEP TWO: A Customized and Specific Plan of Action
The next step is to create a customized and very specific plan that takes all guesswork out of your self-care and the treatment strategy we will use, without drugs, surgery, or long-term commitments.
This includes weekly treatments, key supplements, herbal formulas, and simple dietary changes.
STEP THREE: Weekly Treatments to Reduce/Eliminate Pain and Adjust the Neuromuscular System
We’ll begin weekly treatment sessions with the goal of reducing or eliminating your pain and
increasing range of motion.
STEP FOUR: Ongoing Assessment and Monitoring of Your Pain and Range of Motion
We will follow up at regular intervals to ensure progress is measurable: that your pain is significantly reduced, while progressively increasing range of motion.
STEP FIVE (optional): Occasional Maintenance If Needed
Common Questions
What is the treatment?
We use a combination of acupuncture, pharmaceutical grade supplements, and classic Chinese herbal formulas to address your condition. Sometimes, we also add focused massage techniques and bodywork to increase the efficacy, if needed.
How long does it take?
Hard to answer as everyone is different, however if the case is typical, it usually takes between 2-3 months. Keep in mind, very often, this is to normalize your condition, not just mask it.
I already had surgery to address my problem, will it still work?
For sure. We can still have a profound effect on your challenge, regardless of any surgeries, structural deformities, or permanent injuries. Each case will be different.
What can you do to help me from experiencing pain again?
A part of our work together will be to give you specific treatments that you should do on your own, to help your pain from every coming back. All are relatively simple techniques that are super-effective. It will take a little bit of work on your part, but you should be happy with the results. |
Do I have to follow a specific diet, or do I have to start meditating?
Only if you want to. We make small suggestions you can take to help increase the speed of recovery. Many of these suggestions have the potential to make a profound effect. But it is not a requirement.
Will the herbs and supplements interact with my current medications?
We are aware of how these will interact with all aspects of your condition, and all considerations will be taken into account. In many cases, our herbal therapies can actually work together, and you may be able to modify your current medication with your medical doctor after working with us.
Will it work?
We will not lie, require up-front commitments, or just saying anything to get you in. The bottom line is your case is unique. We promise to give you our opinion, based upon experience, and let you decide from there what you want to do from there.
