How do you decide on a treatment program for me? Your treatment program will be designed specifically for your needs. It will take into consideration the severity of your health challenge, your symptoms, test results and your level of willingness to comply with taking remedies and altering lifestyle habits. 3. What types of treatment programs are available? There are two types of treatment programs: Relief Care and Corrective Care. RELIEF CARE brings symptom relief, but may not correct the underlying cause of the problem. A program might include targeted homeopathic remedies to help detoxify tissues and clear the symptom. Manual treatment may also be used to help the body to heal at it’s full potential. Length of treatment time may vary, from 1-5 treatments or consultations, depending on the type of condition. CORRECTIVE CARE detects the underlying cause of the problem. The problem is treated in phases, so with normal health lifestyle maintenance, it will not return. For this type of care, laboratory tests are used to detect the hidden causes of the health issue. 4. How is this type of care different from traditional medicine and other types of alternative health care? We use a combination of advanced natural healing modalities supported by cutting edge scientific research and analysis, and years of experience. We use Specialized Lab Testing to find underlying problems that traditional tests may miss. Treatments used in this office have been found to be of value based on published scientific research. 5.
