Treatments
The first HealthWise consultation involves preparing a thorough patient health history including physical, emotional and environmental issues. Iridology and a variety of physical and computer-assisted diagnostic techniques may be used to fully explore problems and their cause(s).
The number of consultations required will vary with each patient, but generally several consultations will be necessary to fully explore complex problems and follow-up on treatment.
HealthWise treatments will vary with each patient based on their individual diagnosis and overall health needs, and may involve one or more of the following:

Acupuncture involves usually painless insertions of very fine, sterile, disposable stainless steel needles into the skin to correct imbalances in the body. Acupuncture is an entire system of medicine and has research supporting its use in many health conditions including IVF support and back pain. Laser acupuncture offers an alternative to needles without any discomfort, which is especially beneficial for children. Other traditional techniques including cupping and heat therapy are used as needed. |
