SERVICES WE OFFER
We would like to introduce you to some of the services we offer at 21st Century Medicine, in addition to our better known medical and health consultations and I.V. therapy. Some of these services are new to our office, while others have been around for years. Each of them, however, has proven to be effective both in our practice and in many other Integrative Medicine practices.
§ CardioVision—The CardioVision machine helps assess a patient’s degree of hardening of the arteries (everybody has some), assessing the likelihood of heart attacks and other heart problems. Measuring fibro-elasticity of the brachial artery, the machine provides a printout comparing the patient’s readings to average.
§ Cranial Sacral Therapy—Cranial Sacral Therapy helps treat migraines, chronic neck and back pain, and many other medical problems, in addition to helping the body maintain a state of health. In this therapy, gentle touch is applied to the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord, helping to bring the nervous system back into its proper rhythms and functions.
§ EECP—EECP, or External Enhanced Counter Pulsation, is one of the most effective treatments for congestive heart failure with angina. Inflatable boots produce pulses of pressure that hasten blood flow back to the heart. This process produces secondary circulation in the heart, relieving angina, and also strengthens the heart in congestive heart failure.
§ Facial Rejuvenation—Using low-level electrical stimulation and even different colors of light, this gentle, natural therapy reduces facial tension. Reducing fine lines and wrinkles, puffiness, and blemishes, facial rejuvenation improves skin tone and texture. The result is a younger, less weighted down look—a natural face lift!
§ Ion Cleanse—The Ion Cleanse detoxifying footbath helps remove toxins from the body by allowing ions from broken down water molecules to move through the body, neutralizing particles and pulling them out into the footbath. Patients are shocked by the oranges, greens, and browns of the ionized water that comes out of their bodies. Ion Cleanse produces a sense of well-being in patients and often helps relieve pain, skin problems, and fatigue.
§ Light Beam Generator—The Light Beam Generator uses extremely low current and negatively charged light photons to help facilitate movement of waste matter from blocked areas in the lymphatic system. This process releases toxins and often reduces swelling.
§ Low Level Laser—Low Level Laser Therapy applies both visible and invisible light to re-energize cell membranes, increasing cell energy by 150%. Through this process, LLLT can help relax muscles, control pain, reduce inflammation associated with injury and disease, and stimulate bone repair.
§ Massage Therapy—Not only does Massage Therapy help patients feel better and more relaxed overall, but the “golden hands” of our skilled massage therapist can also help reduce chronic pain, fatigue, and stress and increase joint and muscle mobility.
§ Microcurrent Therapy—Microcurrent Therapy is low current electrical stimulation. This therapy helps stimulate cell activity and circulation to increase blood flow and fluid drainage. Microcurrent, which can be used as a form of acupuncture without needles, differs from traditional tens or E-stim in that it does not electrically jolt the muscle but uses lower current, allowing the body to remember the effects of the treatment longer.
§ Ondamed—The Ondamed biofeedback machine works with the individual frequencies of the cells and body systems in a person’s body. The electromagnetic impulse frequencies emitted by this machine help to stimulate cellular action, creating homeostasis or balance within the body. Ondamed can help prompt the body to use nutrients, expel toxins, reduce inflammation, improve feelings of overall well-being, and even specific ailments.
§ Osteopathic Manipulation—Osteopathic Manipulation is a gentle form of treatment for chronic pain and joint dysfunction using subtle pressure to specific problem areas. This treatment can help many structural problems and support overall healing. This is often corrected with myofascial release and counterstrain.
§ Prolotherapy—Prolotherapy is an excellent, natural approach to dealing with joint pain. This therapy involves injecting small amounts of an irritant into a joint, stimulating the body to rapidly produce connective tissue there. Renewing connective tissue strengthens joints and allows for pain-free movement.
