Glossary of Professional Services

Acupuncture
Thin, solid, sterile stainless-steel needles are inserted into specific points to stimulate the body's natural energy (Qi or Chi). In 1997, the National Institutes of Health officially recognized acupuncture as an effective treatment for pain and nausea.

Ayurvedic Medicine
Ayurvedic medicine is India's traditional, natural system of medicine that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. This complete holistic health system for mind, body, and spirit treats the patient as a whole rather than treating symptoms alone, and it works as a preventative means of coping with imbalance and disease.

Chiropractic
Correction of misalignment of the vertebrae using spinal manipulation and adjustments. Licensed in all 50 states, chiropractic doctors make up the largest single group of alternative medicine practitioners in the United States.

Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon hydrotherapy cleanses the colon through gentle water infusions. Colonics are recommended for ailments such as constipation, psoriasis, acne, allergies, headaches, and are used for general health balance.

Environmental Medicine
Environmental medicine is an alternative system of medical practice that considers the impact of environmental factors on health.

Herbal Therapy
Natural plants or plant-based substances are used to treat a range of illnesses and to enhance the functioning of the body's systems. Though herbal therapy is not a licensed professional modality in the U.S., herbs are prescribed by a range of practitioners, form holistic M.D.s to acupuncturists to naturopaths.

Homeopathy
Based on the hypothesis of "like cures like" and a deep emphasis on the principles of holistic medicine (treat the whole person). Homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body's own healing power by introducing tiny doses of natural substances that should stimulate a person's immune system and defense system to correct itself naturally.

Kinesiology
The study of the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body movement. Also known as "muscle testing," it can be used to determine the root cause of a condition. Practitioners view the body as an intelligent computer that knows exactly what is wrong and what is needed to restore balance. Using certain methods, a practitioner can identify the problem area and treat it effectively. It is very effective in treating sports injuries, as they are often the result of an imbalance in the muscle structure. There are several branches of Kinesiology, including Applied, Clinical and Educational.

Magnetic Field Therapy
Magnetic field therapy diagnoses and treats both physical and emotional pain; it relieves symptoms and retards the cycle of new disease. It is a safe, drugless and painless therapy often used to work on tissue and bone damage conditions. A low-frequency magnetic field is directed to a particular area, penetrating every single cell in its range. The magnetic energy influences the ions within the cell, enhancing ion exchange and thus improving the cell's use of oxygen. This helps the healing and regeneration process.

Medical-Holistic
Differing from traditional allopathic (Western) medicine, holistic medicine looks at the whole person, including analysis of physical, nutritional, environmental, emotional, social, spiritual and lifestyle values. It encompasses all stated modalities of diagnosis and treatment including drugs and surgery, if no safe alternative exists. It also focuses on education and self-responsibility to achieve balance and well being.

Medical-Osteopathic
Osteopathy is an established recognized system of diagnosis and treatment, which lays its main emphasis on the structural and functional integrity of the body. It is distinctive by the fact that it recognizes that much of the pain and disability that we suffer from stems from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by disease.

Nutritional Therapy
Nutritionists counsel clients on a wide variety of issues ranging from proper levels of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to weight loss, food allergies and optimal health. Many follow a "whole foods" approach to proper diet.
