Pain and Wellness Care may include recommendations as outlined below.
This example is for the individual who not only wants to be out of pain and more
functional but wants to slow, stop and ultimately reverse certain pathologies
thought to be ir-reversable.
The doctors will meet and discuss your case often after reviewing
your exam findings, response to care, and your written health goals. Together
with your budget in mind, the doctors will design a treatment program specific
to your needs.
Every one is different. Due to your individual illness and trauma history and your stated goals for health, your frequency and duration of care will vary. Often times, fewer visits per month over a longer period of time is ideal. Reversing pathology takes time but doen't need to break the bank. Over time, proper care for your needs, will balance, slow, stop and in many cases, reverse conditions thought to be ir-reversable.

Please let us know how often in a month you you could come into the office. Many say, "two to four times per month." This frequency can achieve a better body balance and slow down the the degenerative process over time, but probable isn't enough to reverse the pathology.You choose the frequency that best fits your needs and budget.
Plan on an hour or more per visit. To administer a GHW (Golden Health
and Wellness) type of treatment takes at least half an hour. The GWH treatment
is preceded by a scanning laser session and followed by a laser session at hour
intervals.
Once it is determined just what you will need, then a month of visits would
be scheduled at a time with payment paid in advance. You will receive a 10%
discount on the usual price for doing so.
The GWH visit usually takes half an hour and cost $75 with the laser an
additional $10 per site. Each site, for the laser is the width of the body and
about 1 and one half feet long. I can not tell how many sites I would suggest
doing since a full spine and pelvis xray are ordered to help distinguish soft
tissue and skeletal distortions caused by past injuries and illness.
Other services may include an evaluation and recommendation for dietary
changes with inclusion of supplements to improve digestion, to cleanse and
support the positive results you are looking for. These evaluation visits will
be scheduled early in the process and probably in the first several weeks of
care.
Treatment would include Stjernholm soft tissue work combined with
Kamera soft tissue work, (they are very different and are done for different
reasons) the scanning cold laser to the various sites we have determined
early in your care, and work with D.N.F.T. Directional Non-Force Technique
Chiropractic adjusts body joints with out the popping and cracking sounds
associated with Chiropractic. It is specific to the spine and extremities
where spinal nerve flow is improved and pain decreased. With D.N.F.T.,vertebra
normally need adjustment only once if new injury is avoided. B.E.A.M. technique
is added, Body Energy, Assessment and Modification, to balance aspects of the
autonomic nervous system so important for improving blood flow.
Dr. Dektor and I would see you at different times. I would see you for
a few visits then Dr Dektor would see you, but all the while you are receiving
the laser and some soft tissue work along with our individual
specialties.
I have kept this a general discussion because every one is different, with
different goals for health. Every treatment builds on past treatments if new
injuries are avoided, so over time great improvements are expected.
I believe you need to commit to coming in two or more times per month
through your course of care depending on your long term goals but reversing
pathology will take longer and may require more frequent visits. It took time to
get where you are and it will take time to get where you would rather be. In the
very beginning of you course of care, visit frequency could be at two times per
week or 2-3 weeks as a starting point, especially if you have severe symptoms.
During this short course of more frequent care we will be better able to tell
you how your body will respond to care and what exactly you will need longer
term.
Reversing pathology is a process and takes a high level of commitment on
your part. Meet with us,have the exam, try some visits and decide for your
self if our practice will fit your needs and budget.
Sincerely In Health, Lee Parimuha D.C.

For many years as alternative health care practioners we have guided and helped so many put illness behind them.
Some of the options open to you include using a cold scanning laser to increased blood and nerve flow in areas chronically afflicted. These areas have nerve irritation as well as scar tissue formation.
Another option for many is cross friction massage of the psoas muscle. This, front of the pelvis area, is an important area to release one of the major muscles commonly associated with pelvic distortions. The problem of "Pevlic Distortion" is important to discover and correct because of the imbalance of the muscles and soft tissues which often cause organ distortion and disease. Soft tissue/fascia connection distortion between the pelvic structures and the organs found here in the pelvis and
higher
up in the abdomen and chest may and often cause disease.
Cross friction massage is important in the area just under the skull. This area known as the sub-occipital area is around and about muscles, ligaments joints, blood flow to the first three neck vertebra. This is also the site of a reflex called the proprioception reflexes. These reflexes help maintain balance by aquiring information from joints and muscles throughout the body.Proprioception, also known as our sixth sense, was the last of the senses to be investigated. In essense it is concerned
with knowing where our body is in relation to itself. For example when you close your eyes and touch your nose proprioception is what guides your movements. Without it simple tasks such as scratching the back of your head becomes almost impossible.Directional Non-Force Techniquetm is the original low force method of chiropractic developed by the late Dr. Richard VanRumpt (1904 - 1987) and now researched and taught by his successor, Christopher
John, D.C. Known by
the acronym "D.N.F.T.,"
it is unique in conception and has been the fountainhead for many other low force techniques in existence today.
D.N.F.T. utilizes a diagnostic system for subluxation analysis consisting of gentle challenging and a unique leg check. This testing allows the body itself to indicate the directions of misalignment of structures that are producing nerve interference.
A gentle but directionally specific thumb impulse provides a long lasting correction to bony and soft tissue structures. D.N.F.T. is able to achieve structural corrections without torqueing, strong thrusts, and associated articular sounds that are often associated with traditional chiropractic.
D.N.F.T. is a patient oriented approach and provides maximum, long lasting relief in a safe and effective manner. Low numbers of initial visits without the need for frequent follow up is the clear intention of this method.
