Neurotransmitter and Hormone Testing

 

Our nervous system influences how we think, feel, and act, as well as how the rest of our body functions. We believe the function of the central nervous system, including a balance of neurotransmitters, plays an essential and central role in the health of all body systems.

We advocate an assess-address approach to nervous system function. This process entails laboratory assessment of the body’s chemical messengers, via urinary neurotransmitter and salivary hormone testing. Based on the laboratory results, NeuroScience, Inc. works with healthcare providers to develop Targeted Amino Acid Therapy (TAATTM) programs designed to address the spectrum of neurotransmitter and hormone imbalances.

Common conditions associated with NT/Hormone imbalances are:  ADHD, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Depression, Fatigue, Insomnia, Menopause, Migraines, Premenstrual Syndrome, and Weight Control.

 

ASERT

Allergies and related sensitivities can be difficult to diagnose and eliminate from your  life.  A solution is a unique diagnostic and elimination regime –referred to as A/SERT(Allergy / Sensitivity Elimination and Reprogramming Technique) is a revolutionary treatment system based on the principles of Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Cold Laser Therapy, Color and Sound Therapy and Applied Kinesiology.  The A/SERT technique is a modification of NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique) developed by Dr. Devi Nambudripad. It is simple, non-invasive and extremely effective.

 

Emotional Therapy                                                                     

When unresolved emotional problems are manifesting in physical symptoms, you need more than an adjustment. Our techniques will help you ‘clear’ negative emotions. Color therapy, NLP, emotional release therapy and behavior modification are a few of the powerful tools that are available.

 

As we learn to quickly identify the stressors and emotional issues that are holding you back – and are able to utilize the proper healing strategies to address these issues – you’ll see dramatic improvements in your response to treatment.  Your symptoms are rarely triggered by physical causes alone. Negative emotions frequently get in the way of a successful treatment. Learning to address these issues as part of an overall treatment regime is an important step in providing comprehensive healing.

 

 

 

Nutrition 

In today’s world of fast foods and convenient microwave meals, understanding and promoting the science of proper nutrition can be a hard sell to most patients.

However, if your body is getting essential nutrients including carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals, it will help your body function, which includes digesting, absorbing, metabolizing and excreting which leads to homeostasis.

 

Bad eating habits that include diets high in sugar and fats, may lead to fatigue and possible diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancers.

Nutrition goes along with a holistic philosophy – treating the whole person by helping the body to naturally heal. To neglect the diet when helping a patient is limiting. The old saying, ‘You are what you eat’ , holds great truth.

 

Using patient samples of stool, urine, saliva, blood or hair, these integrative tests can provide focused and advanced insight into key areas of physiology, including gastrointestinal function, cardiovascular disease, nutrient metabolism, immune/antibody response and hormone  secretion/activity.

 

Detoxification

Toxins are everywhere – they’re in the food we eat and the air we breathe. All of these toxins are getting in the way of your health and overall quality of life. There are a variety of detoxification techniques to help your rid your body of these harmful toxins. Harmful toxins can cause a variety of health complications, such as: • arthritis• allergies• chronic pain• autoimmune diseases• inflammation

One of our most-popular methods of detoxification is our  footbath. The detox footbath was designed and developed to restore the body's energy and balance while facilitating and aiding in its natural detoxification process. The footbath is one of the simplest and most-effective methods to implement and can be performed by our staff. Through a regular detoxification program, your patients can maintain a general feeling of well-being and overall health.     Chiropractic                                                      Chiropractic, although many times misunderstood, is about helping people live healthier, fuller lives. While typically thought of as "bone doctors", chiropractors actually focus on the neuromusculoskeletal system and painlessly, manually adjust the vertebral column in order to affect the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments actually treat the entire body and the person, not only the symptom. Chiropractic treatment is based on the concept that restricted movement in the spine may lead to pain and reduced function. Spinal adjustment (manipulation) is one form of therapy chiropractors use to treat restricted spinal mobility. The goal is to restore spinal movement and, as a result, improve function and decrease back pain.  Dr. Shumway utilizes several low force techniques including myofacial release, percussion, electronic adjusting, Activator and cold laser therapy to achieve  restoration of joint movement without the traditional “cracking” techniques utilized in chiropractic.
