What is the status of my current health and wellness?

This is a review and examination. A look at each dimension of stress in your life (physical, biochemical, and emotional/energetic) and then measuring the limits of your performance and function. It starts with a careful review of your health intake forms, followed by an exam for either your general level of wellness, and/or any specific areas of concern.

Price is dependent on how many areas of concern are involved, and how many of the three dimensions of health are measured.

What can you do to help me?

This is a summary of the types of care provided, to help your body heal itself with minimum discomfort, in the shortest possible time.

Balance the Physical Dimension

The cornerstone of my practice centers on the nervous system, to help the body better communicate within itself, and it's environment. Adjustments are "resets" to the nervous system, and instantly restore lost communication.

CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS    

Dependent on how many areas I adjust, and if it includes extremities such as feet, elbows, or hips.

From light touch, to mechanical, to full range “hands on” adjusting is offered to restore normal biomechanics and nervous system adaptation. These techniques allow for faster healing and restoration of normal function to your body. Contrary to popular opinion, adjustments such as those used by chiropractors have been around for thousands of years, commonly paired with acupuncture in a practice referred to as “tuina” (Twee-na). When a joint does not have full movement, it alters the function of the muscles that are attached to it, as well as those around it. As well, the altered movement disturbs the proprioception, or balance, of the body, which adversely affects the nervous system. We use many techniques within the chiropractic world to gently release any interferences within the nervous system. This restores the essential communication to allow your body to heal itself.

Frequently, I use muscle work to help with the healing process, in addition to the adjustments of the joints, it helps the muscles relax and better "hold" the adjustment.

MUSCLE WORK     

This is for either pressure point therapy, muscle release technique or active stretching.

We are movement machines. Our bodies are built on the foundation of muscles, and coordinated, flexible and strong muscle function is essential not only to our movement, but to our organs working correctly. When identified, we help muscles heal themselves faster by using gentle therapies which focus on releasing the knots or sore points within the affected area, and improving circulation. Additionally, we use stretching techniques to restore the full movement and flexibility to tight muscle groups.

FUNCTIONAL EXERCISE DESIGN    

Priced per session, generally 1-2 exercises per session. This includes demonstrating the exercise, and having you perform it so that you have a correct feel for the movement.

Based on the findings of your examination, we design and demonstrate functional exercises to help balance the physical and energetic stresses on your body. We teach you specific stretching and strengthening movements to improve the function of the targeted muscles. Our programs are easy, quick, and designed to get you results. Our focus is on bringing all of your muscles back into full and normal function, with the minimal amount of effort on your part.

The average fee per visit for balancing the physical dimension is $79.

Balance the Energetic/Emotional Dimension

The acupuncture work that I do balances the energy of the body, as well as the emotions. This speeds any healing process, and helps to connect us with the subtle energies within our environment.

ACUPUNCTURE    

This is per session, and dependent on whether I test for the balance of energy within your body prior to care.

With over 5000 years of experience, this ancient system is based on the balanced flow of energies through channels called meridians. Unbalanced flows or stoppages of energies create health concerns, affecting one or more of the three dimensions- the physical, bio-chemical or emotional. The traditional method of balancing the energy is using needles, but I also offer other techniques that are equally as effective, such as acu-pressure, electro-acupuncture, and low level laser acupuncture, which is totally painless.

The average fee for balancing your energy through acupuncture is $81.

Balance the Bio-Chemical Dimension (Nutrition)

Our biochemistry is the main connection of our environment to our internal bodies. What you put into your body is essential to a better lifestyle and managing the stress we all experience.

NUTRITIONAL AND DIET COUNSELING    

Priced by the time spent testing and implementing your program. Does not include laboratory testing or any supplementation, but does include a specific plan for your nutritional needs.

The average nutritional counseling session fee is $75.

Care for 2 Dimensions

This is for work in two of the three dimensions. The combination serves to speed your healing process, and to bring your body back in balance quickly and powerfully.

The average fee for balancing 2 of the dimensions is $94.

Wellness Care

This refers to working on all three of the dimensions of health and life- the physical, biochemical, and energetic/emotional.

Our wellness program is a comprehensive lifestyle based approach to help you develop the principles and habits necessary to help your body continue to improve with aging. This is literally a way to add years to your life, and life to your years. In this program, we teach you about specific exercises to correct any muscle imbalances, and for general fitness. We teach you about the frequency, intensity, and variation necessary to keep your body challenged and growing. Our nutritional component focuses on the best choices of foods, timing of your meals, supplementation and portion sizes to get you to the weight and figure you want. We teach you techniques to help you better manage the stresses in your life, and ways to relax and recharge. We help you plan, visualize and affirm the health and wellness goals that will keep you living to your fullest potential. No tricks, no gimmicks, no hype- just basic, regularly applied, simple tools. It’s not just about getting rid of pain, but living your life fully and well!

The average fee for wellness care is $125 per session.

Your program of care is priced based on your needs, the level of care you desire and the length of your commitment. We make every attempt to make our wellness care affordable for most any budget, with different payment options available.

We have payment plans available for those who wish to pay over time, but the prices outlined in our “Menu of services”, reflect a "payment at the time of service" discount. Additionally, we offer prepayment packages depending on your case, with additional discounts available. We will be happy to help you decide on which payment option would be best for you when we have mutually decided on a plan of care.
