Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of treatment which brings the body's energy into
balance through the use of fine, single-use, disposable needles, painlessly
placed at points on channels of energy flow. Our licensed acupuncturist
may complement the treatment with the use of Chinese herbs. Acupuncture
can be very effective in the treatment of asthma, chronic fatigue, digestive
and gynecological problems, headaches, insomnia complications of pregnancy
including morning sickness, and control of chronic and acute pain among
many other conditions
Chiropractic
Since 1981, Dr. Hazirjian has helped thousands get relief from chronic
headaches, pains of the neck, arm, shoulder, leg, and of course, back
problems. From auto accidents to sports injuries and work-related cases,
the painless Activator Method of chiropractic care can be your
first choice for conservative detection and correction of either nerve
or musculoskeletal problems. The Activator Method utilizes a small,
hand held instrument to adjust misalignment of the spine and other joints
of the body. The Activator painlessly delivers a quick tight thrust
to the problem areas. Chiropractic health care benefits are available
through most major private insurance companies, Blue Shield, Medicare,
Worker's Compensation, and Automobile and Personal Injury insurance policies.
Massage Therapy
The benefits of therapeutic and sports massage includes improved circulation
and general body tone, enhanced function of joints and muscles, and relief
of mental and physical fatigue. Our certified and licensed massage therapists
are trained in neuromuscular therapy and general massage therapeutic techniques.
Whether you are seeking a relaxation massage, treatment for a specific
sports related injury, or any other soft tissue impairment, appointments
are available Monday through Saturday in either 30, 45 or 60 minute sessions
Nutrition
Most of today's major disease processes (high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
cancer, diabetes, etc.) prey silently. The practice of modern medicine
is swinging to prevention with a large component focusing on the
diet. Our staff nutritionist, a registered dietitian, can help tailor
an eating strategy that not only meets your individual needs, but also
fits into your busy lifestyle. Nutritional counseling, offered in 30,
45, or 60 minute individual sessions can help you lose weight, lower your
cholesterol, decrease your blood pressure, improve your athletic performance,
and allow you to feel more energetic.
Physical
Therapy / Water Therapy
Our physical therapists utilize traditional and modern technologies acting
as facilitators to assist you in regaining function to your fullest potential
with ongoing education to achieve your goals. We provide quality health
care planning, treatment / prevention techniques and independent or supervised
health maintenance programs which promote active, injury-free lives. A
holistic, comprehensive approach is consistent with treatment. Techniques
include manual therapy, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy neuro
muscular re-education, ultrasound, specific conditioning for job or sport-related
injuries, Nautilus, free weight training, aerobic conditioning and water
therapy. Water therapy involves therapeutic exercises in a deep and/or
shallow water pool for rehabilitation or conditioning. The buoyancy effect
of water provides a safe, pain-free environment, while water resistance
provides a challenge for strength training and aerobic conditioning. Insurance
reimbursement is available through most private insurance companies, Blue
Shield, Medicare, Worker's Compensation, and Automobile and Personal Injury
insurance policies. Check individual policies or call your representative
for details.
Polarity
Therapy
Polarity Therapy is a natural health care system. It asserts that energy
fields and currents exist everywhere in nature, and that the flow and
balance of this energy in the human body is the underlying foundation
of health. In a typical Polarity session, the practitioner and client
work together in a healing relationship to address physical, mental and
emotional energy blockages. The practitioner may use bodywork and guidance
in diet, exercise, attitude and lifestyle to support the client's healing
process. In Polarity bodywork, a variety of contacts and manipulations
are used to stimulate and balance the body's electromagnetic fields. The
practitioner may help to process feelings and develop strategies for resolving
issues causing tension. The result is a safe and supportive experience
encouraging understanding and respect for the client's healing process.
