treatment of disease. When proper diet and nutrients are supplied to the tissues in the
body, they exert powerful influences on the bodies metabolism
Massage Therapy
Many of the therapeutic effects of massage recognized by personal
and clinical experience over the years have been supported by scientific research.
In addition to the commonly known benefits or relaxation, improved circulation and relief
for muscle tension, new applications for therapeutic massage are surfacing in areas related to
mental and emotion well-being.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture helps correct the body's energy flow. Imbalances in this energy are experienced as discomfort, disease, and pain. Through the painless use of needles and other gentle techniques, the flow of energy is corrected to alleviate symptoms and promote health and well-being.
Natural Therapy
Natural agents such as heat, ice, aqua therapy and exercise, are some of the drugless measures, which are available to patients in abundant quantities. When controlled, these elements may exert a beneficial influence on body function. There are other forms of physiologic therapeutics which involve interferential therapy; ultrasound, traction and dietary
management and other natural procedures which are known to have specific physiological influence on the body.
A trigger point (TrP) is a hypersensitive area which may appear in any muscle. TrPs commonly cause referred pain but also may cause weakness, numbness, and restricted range of motion.
