Our Offices

The Focus of Our Practice

The primary goal for our practice members: WELLNESS

We seek to help improve every aspect of a person's well-being: physical, chemical, mental, emotional and energetic. Based on over 40 years of experience, thousands of hours of post-graduate education and the experience of working with over 35,000 practice members, we treat them and not their conditions, although we have found there are a large number of states of dysfunction that have responded to our care. Here's a partial list:

Symptoms of Stress (SOS): Headaches, numbness/tingling in the extremities, loss of energy (fatigue, exhaustion), loss of focus and concentration, mental/emotional imbalances including irritability, depression and mood swings.
Allergies and hypersensitivities, the causes that precipitate them and the inflammation that results from them.
Digestive difficulties
Hormonal imbalances, both female and male
Structural conditions, including back and neck pain, TMJ dysfunction, and extremity problems (no worker's compensation nor automobile accident injuries)
Children's health problems, including AD/HD and other functional neuro-behavioral disorders
Chronic and difficult health challenges

Our goal is to help our practice members get through these troublesome problems so they can focus on truly becoming well, not just symptom-free.

Techniques Utilized in Our Practice

Diagnostic:

In addition to muscle response testing, we use testing protocols including Structural (Chiropractic and Craniopathic), Orthopedic, Neurological; blood, urinary, salivary and occasionally others to help ascertain the status of your health or lack thereof. If X-rays are needed, we refer to a local radiographic clinic.

Dr. Gary has studied and utilizes the following structural techniques in his practice:
Applied Kinesiology (AK)
Non-AK Muscle Response (MRT) Testing
Network Spinal Analysis
Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)
Craniopathy (Chiropractic Cranio-Sacral Technique)
Neural Organization Technique (NOT)
Spinal Column Stressology (SCS)
LLLT - Low Level Laser Therapy

In addition, we use the following physical, mental, emotional and energetic balancing techniques:
Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET)
Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET)
Body Restoration Technique (BRT)
The Sedona Method
Other Comprehensive Energy Psychology Techniques

And, use a variety of nutritional and homeopathic products including:
Enzyme nutritional products (enzymes help get nutrients pass an incompetent digestive system)
Amino acids (amino acids are the building blocks of neurotransmitters and hormones)
Complex homeopathy (to help rid the body of toxins)
Other nutrients (to supply co-factors necessary to regenerate distressed organs)
