A great deal has been said and written about Holistic Healing, even to the point of debating if it should be spelled “Holistic” or “Wholistic”.  The important part is, does the Doctor treat the patient as a whole, integrated being or as a gall bladder or a kidney, for example.

Function in the body is interrelated with one function being dependent on another.  In order to effectively diagnose and treat individuals, we must be willing to look past the symptom pattern to uncover the cause.

A number of approaches can be used to accomplish that.  One of the main techniques that can be used is called Applied Kinesiology, which utilizes muscle testing to analyze body function.  Using this technique, one can locate structural imbalance as well as metabolic imbalance and nutritional needs.  By metabolic imbalance, I am referring to organ dysfunction.  As a supplement to Applied Kinesiology, it is often necessary to order lab tests including; blood testing, hair analysis, saliva testing, urine tests and stool tests.

As was mentioned earlier, structural imbalance is corrected using chiropractic manipulation, whereas metabolic imbalance is often corrected through the application of a specific nutrient and/or dieting recommendations.  By specific nutrients I mean a particular vitamin, mineral, herb, glandular or homeopathic remedy.

Applied Kinesiology, along with the adjunctive lab tests give us a very good window into understanding what nutrient needs to be applied.  To learn more about how this process can help you, call us for an appointment today:  (561) 625-5422

Chiropractic has been one of the healing arts since 1895.  The main tenet of chiropractic is that a misaligned or subluxated vertebra can put pressure on an adjacent nerve root and thereby created dis-ease in the body and loss of homeostasis with resulting ill health or disease.  By correcting or re-aligning the vertebra, heath and homeostasis can be returned to the body.

As a chiropractor, I do follow those guidelines and examine the spine and structural system to locate any misalignment patterns in the body.  I do not limit my exam to just the spine, but look for any distortion patterns throughout the body.  When those are located, I use an appropriate procedure to re-align those misaligned structural parts, regardless if it is vertebra or extremity.

We are unique individuals and the same technique can not always be applied to everyone.  As a result, I try to determine the best approach for each individual and make the correction based on that observation.

With some patients, that may mean the manipulation is done by hand and with others it may have to be a more gentle non-force approach.  Call our Palm Beach Gardens, FL office to schedule an appointment.  (561) 625-5422
