Most people suffering from head pressure, itchy eyes, and a runny or stuffy nose this allergy season will find only short-lived, or no relief at all, from over the counter remedies. Alternative approaches, such as nutritional supplementation and Biofeedback focus on more than just symptomatic relief. They enable the body’s ability to remove existing allergens imbedded in the sinus tissues, thereby minimizing the histamine and inflammatory reactions. This stops the over-production of mucus that the body makes to try and push the allergens out. Take a different approach this allergy season – treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

What is Adaptive Clothing?
One of the many challenges for many individuals who suffer from disability, and for those who care for them, is the difficulty of getting dressed and undressed. The design of regular clothing can make it very difficult, and in some cases impossible, for those with certain disabilities to dress themselves. Adaptive clothes are garments specially designed to be easy to wear. Features such as side-opening elastic waist pants, Velcro closures, and open-back tops and blouses make them easy to take on and off. We carry premium quality brands for both men and women.
Tinnitus
Described as ear or head noises, tinnitus can take the form of ringing, buzzing, hissing, or similar sounds, and it can be constant or intermittent. In some cases, tinnitus can result from medical conditions such as wax buildup or ear infection, which can be treated, often resulting in total relief of symptoms. In many cases, tinnitus is the first sign of hearing loss. The first step in managing any type of tinnitus is to undergo a complete hearing assessment by a hearing professional. If hearing loss is found and medical intervention is not the answer, your hearing health professional will go over additional treatment solutions with you, such as tinnitus maskers or hearing aids.
Treating Bell’s Palsy
Bell’s palsy is a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of your face. Damage to the facial nerve that controls muscles on one side of the face causes that side of your face to droop. A special treatment protocol using micro-current was created specifically to treat Bell’s palsy and reverse its effects. The protocol involves a regular series of treatments that deliver a very low electrical current to the affected parts of the face. By recharging the electrical components of the cells, the face has the power to “lift” again, and paralyzed facial expressions “release” and regain a normal appearance.
The Foot and Back Connection
It has been stated that lower back pain will occur in 80% of the population, sooner or later. An increase or a loss of the normal lumbar curve causes a loss of normal vertebral function and pain. This phenomenon is generally linked to a loss of normal foot function. Simply put, what your feet are doing, your lower back and pelvis will repeat. Collapse of the arches and ankle pronation causes lumbar spinal misalignment, leading to altered spinal curves and disc degeneration. This is addressed by the use of corrective orthotics to give the body a proper foundation, and with chiropractic care, to restore normal function.
Allergies & Bio-Resonance
The bio-resonance method has become well-known for its ability to treat allergies swiftly and effectively. Word of its obvious success has rapidly spread amongst clients, and consequently, many allergy sufferers are seeking out the practices of bio-resonance therapists. This is certainly attributable to the fact that the number of people suffering from allergies has been steadily increasing for years. This includes allergies to food, animals, pollen, fragrances, and various toxic substances. A bio-resonance therapist will search for the allergens triggering your symptoms and then work to alleviate those symptoms using frequency therapy. Bio-resonance therapy is completely painless and non-invasive.

Catching Your Breath
Because breathing is an involuntary action, we rarely pay attention to the process. But did you know that how you breathe impacts your health? Deep nasal breathing can reduce stress, help you fall asleep faster, aid toxin removal, and lower blood pressure to a greater extent than mouth breathing can.
And did you know that your nasal passage serves as a biological air filter, humidifier, and air conditioner to cool the brain? So the next time you’re catching your breath, try deep breathing through your nose and note how much better you feel while going about your day.
Using Essential Oils
Aromatherapy is also referred to as essential oil therapy. It can be defined as the art and science of using highly concentrated medicinal plant extracts to promote mental and physical health. Did you know that one of the most effective ways to enjoy the benefits of essential oils is by diffusing? Breathing deeply relaxes the body and allows the essential oil molecules to be utilized very efficiently. Massage is another wonderful way to enjoy essential oils. Add 3-4 drops to 1 oz of coconut oil and enjoy. Never use essential oils directly on your skin without a carrier oil and NEVER ingest essential oils. Just breathe!
