Frequently asked questions

The system I apply tests the motor (nerves of motion) and sensory-based nerves (nerves of touch, feeling, etc.) to discover injury and dysfunction within tissues of the body. When a patient touches an area of the body it excites or stimulates those nerves that are in that part of the body. That particular area of the body will then send a message to the brain through nerve pathways. The signal that runs through the nerve (like a telephone wire) can be monitored with biofeedback response testing. This testing allows me to test the integrity of the nerve signal through the wire. When there is a defect in the signal it will result in a decrease of muscle strength to whichever muscle it is attached to. Eliminating the defects helps restore nerve function and overall body integrity that reduces pain and increases health.

There are 35 different factors that can weaken muscles throughout the body. Depending on how long the problems have been around will determine if the muscle will have temporary, intermittent or chronic weakness. Those factors that can weaken a muscle can be locally within the muscle tissue itself or from a remote location somewhere else in the body. The 35 factors fall under the body’s major systems, such as: structure, organ imbalances, chemical imbalances, psychological and stress issues, and electrical signal problems in the nerves and meridians of Chinese acupuncture points.

Weakened muscles around a joint can create improper movement within a joint. When a joint moves improperly, it will create friction between the two surfaces of the joint. Remember a joint is when two opposite surfaces of bones meet together, like a knee. Friction eventually leads to pain and swelling in the joint. When any muscle is weakened, the normal muscles on the other side of the joint will pull harder on the joint because they are at full strength. This will result in the normal muscles becoming shorter from pulling so much. Most physicians will give pills to help “relax” the normal muscles, but those muscles are actually doing their normal job. To alleviate the pain, you must correct and strengthen the weakened muscle, not relax the normal working shortened muscle. Restoring a weakened muscle to its proper length and strength will reduce and eliminate friction in a joint which will then reduce pain, all without drugs.

The system I use in the office is known as Bio Systems Integration. It is a system that was developed by Dr. Milton Dowty. He integrated five health care methods into one. These system include: Applied Kinesiology, Clinical Kinesiology, Sacro-Occipital Technique, Bio-Resonance Technique, and Acupunture / Electronic Meridian Therapy.

I have seen a wide variety of conditions. The testing I incorporate gives a comprehensive examination of the body’s structure deviations, chemical imbalances, organ dysfunctions, psychological stress, and acupuncture impairments. The assessment of all these biological systems gives insight into resolution of complex health problems.

I have seen and assessed patients of all ages. I have seen patients as young as 1 week to the 97 year old grandmother. Cases have included patients that suffer from spinal pain, herniated discs, hormonal imbalance, sport injuries, sensitivities (allergies), metabolic dysfunctions, muscle imbalance, digestive issues, and chronic infectious states.

Simply for the reason that the acupuncture system is one of the most informative and therapeutic systems of the body. By treating small acupuncture points on the body, whether it be by needle, laser, vibration, or touch, you open up the dam that hinders energy pathways that run in the body. Energy runs in small paths in our bodies called meridians, they are like small energy highways. If sickness or injury puts a dam in that highway, acupuncture comes along and clears the roadblock. This allows energy to pass from one highway to another and so forth. The body has a circulation pathway that follows our circadian rhythm, we need this circulation to feed and rebuild all systems of the body after a day of work and stress.
