suggestions for further treatments and follow-up.
We consider the patient an active partner in their
healing. You know your body better than anyone
else and have the ability to tap inner resources to
facilitate self-healing. Therefore as a patient, you are
an integral part of your healthcare team. Patients
work closely with their health provider(s) to find
the right treatment plan that works for them.

ADVANCED TESTING
Many patients know they have a chronic disease,
or they are suffering from an on-going condition
such as chronic fatigue, chronic pain, gas, or
constipation. They may even be taking medications
for these on-going issues, but when they ask “why”
they are experiencing various symptoms, no one
will tell them “why.”
We use advanced testing to determine the
underlying causes of chronic diseases. As a result of
our advanced testing capabilities, we are extremely
confident in being able to tell our patients “why”
they are suffering from one ailment or another, and
how the condition could have developed.
