Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation:
By incorporating the traditional as well as the latest science based natural therapeutics such as Western herbal medicine, nutritional supplements, homeopathy, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine (internal as well as external), Naturopathic manipulation, Structural Integration, Somatic Re-education, and muscle energy technique, I approach pain management and rehabilitation from several directions to facilitate a quicker and lasting recovery. I have had good success in areas of:
 |
Post Motor Vehicle Accident |
|
Chronic Low Back Pain |
|
Chronic Knee Pain |
|
Frozen Shoulder |
|
Chronic Neck Pain |
|
Ankle sprain / strain |
|
Plantar Fascitis |
|
Sciatica |
|
Fibromyalgia |
|
Scoliosis |
|
Rheumatoid Arthritis / Osteoarthritis |
|
Osteoporosis |
|
Carpal Tunnel Sydrome |
|
TMJ pain/dysfunction syndrome |
|
Migraine / Tension Headache |
|
|
Neuro-endocrine Disorders:
I believe that understanding the patterns of physiological inter-relations among the different biological systems of the body can greatly enhance the understanding of both Naturopathic and Chinese medicine. It has been my experience that an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the interplay between the autonomic nervous system and the different hormones of the body helps to broaden my knowledge base as a practitioner of natural medicine. I have dealt successfully with cases involving:
|
Hypertension |
|
Cardiac Arrhythmias |
|
Chronic Fatigue (Syndrome) |
|
Insomnia |
|
Diabetes & Impaired Glucose Tolerance |
|
Thyroid dysfunction (Hyper & Hypo) |
|
Adrenal dysfunction |
|
Obesity |
|
Hypoglycemia |
|
Migraine Headache |
|
Multiple Sclerosis |
|
Polyneuropathy |
|
Herpetic Neuralgia |
|
Seizure / Tremor disorders |
|
Hyperactivity |
|
Vertigo & Tinnitis |
|
Premenstrual Syndrome |
|
Menopause |
|
Infertility |
|
Dysmenorrhea |
Digestive Disorders:
In both Naturopathic and Chinese medicine, proper digestion and assimilation is an essential component to good health. By teaching and promoting a healthy wholesome diet, along with an individualized diet plan utilizing Naturopathic and Chinese Dietetics, and checking for food sensitivities, each person's diet choices have to be fully addressed. I have seen that poor health starts in the digestive system, and thus by cleaning out and rebuilding the digestive tract with diet, herbal medicine and nutraceuticals, the overall health of the individual can greatly improve. Areas of experience include:
|
Constipation / Diarrhea |
|
Heartburn |
|
Excessive Gas & Bloating |
|
Hemorrhoids |
|
Hepatitis |
|
Candidiasis |
|
Irritable Bowel Syndrome |
|
Intestinal Parasites |
|
Gastric Ulcers |
|
Cholecystitis |
|
Non-specific abdominal discomfort / pain |
|
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease) |
Environmental Medicine:
Living in this chemical ridden land, it is essential that every health practitioner learns about the subtle signs and symptoms of environmental toxic burden, and incorporate proper testing and safe and natural detoxification treatment for this ever-increasing "epidemic". Areas of treatment specialty include:
|
Heavy metal Toxicity |
|
Dry Cleaner Agent Detox
Program |
|
Stop Smoking Program |
|
Drug Rehabilitation |
|
Seasonal Allergies |
|
Chronic Sinusitis |
|
Asthma |
|
Conjunctivitis |
|
Food Allergies |
|
Chronic Unrelenting
Cough |
External Therapy:
It has been my experience that the combination of internal and external therapy works synergistically to bring about the most effective result. I have successfully used my own herbal / nutraceutical combination of poultices, plasters, tinctures, salves, creams, and lotions to treat myriad of disease conditions.
|
Eczema |
|
Acne |
|
Rosacea |
|
Psoriasis |
|
Hives |
|
Allergic Dermatitis |
|
Fungal infections (Athlete's foot, Jock itch, and fungal infection of the nails) |
Electro Dermal Screening:
As a screening device, I believe that it is an invaluable tool. In the hands of a qualified practitioner who utilizes the machine within context of a thorough medical evaluation, this device can greatly aid the practitioner in quickly scanning for any imbalances of the body. I routinely scan for:
|
Organ dysfunction |
|
Food sensitivities |
|
Heavy metal toxicity |
|
Hormonal deficiencies |
|
Mineral / Vitamin deficiencies |
|
Enzymatic deficiencies |
|
Tumors |
|
Acid / Alkaline Status |
|
Immune Status |
|
Psychological / Emotional Stress |
