Clinical Nutrition
Scientific research is being done, in the Western world today, on the therapeutic properties of botanical medicines, food extracts and natural vitamin supplements.
Laboratories in this field have made great advances and sophisticated objective scientific testing is now available. Recent discoveries in oral chelation have made natural detoxification from heavy metals and other environmental toxins a reality. Keeping informed of this research, which is continually growing and being clinically documented, I maintain professional resources for obtaining the highest quality supplements.
The Chinese have studies all common foods, analyzing their properties and therapeutic values. This forms the basis for another facet of Clinical Nutritional Counseling offered at this office, and provides a wealth of therapeutic interdisciplinary insights.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy provides an exceptionally gentle, yet profound adjustment of the cranium and entire nervous system. It was created in the early 1900s by an osteopathic physician, Dr. Sutherland, who discovered that when the normal range of motion of various cranial bones is restricted, there are corresponding changes in one's mood and general sense of well being. Craniosacral therapy further evolved through osteopathic genius, Dr. Upledger, who discovered that stressful mental emotional states and physical trauma will create stresses in the physical body, which in turn torque the membranes that house the brain, resulting in restricted cranial bone motion. Physical trauma to the cranium, such as birth injury, including forceps and cesarean delivery, injuries to the head and face, dental extractions, and orthodontic appliances, can all directly restrict the cranial bones. Once a cranial restriction been set up, it tends to remain that way until released.
How Craniosacral Therapy Works
Craniosacral therapy frees up these restriction and is a useful healing modality in treating dyslexia, learning disabilities, autism, hyperactivity, spasticity, colic, thumb sucking, TMJ syndrome, tinnitus, vertigo, strabismus, neurological diseases and musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Freeing up cranial restrictions also helps to free up unproductive patterns of mind and emotion, creating a state of deep relaxation and peace. The typical Craniosacral session lasts over an hour for adults. It is often combined with an Eight Extra / Divergent meridian or Taoist acupuncture treatment for a powerful synergistic healing effect.
