Color Therapy

Color therapy is the use of color in assisting the body in its natural ability to balance itself. Historically, color has been used for centuries by practitioners of the healing arts. Color serves to support our vital life force by supplying light energy to the system.

Color Therapy Eyewear is a means of directing color energy into the body. The eyes convert light (color) into electricity, which travels through our nervous system directing all body functions. When color enters our eyes each frequency is directed to the area of the body that recognizes that particular frequency. This causes cellular and hormonal changes to occur, thus bringing the body into synchronization or balance with the color.

Color Therapy Eyewear are non-prescription colored sunglasses designed to make the use of color therapy convenient and affordable. Color therapy glasses are lightweight nylon frames with acrylic lenses that meet current F.D.A. standards. They are impact resistant and meet general purpose U.V. requirements. They block 95% UVB and 60% UVA rays.Color Therapy Eyewear comes in 7 individual rainbow colors which are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet, plus 2 additional colors of Aqua and Magenta.

Choose the color that corresponds to the area of the body or emotional state you want to work on. Each color corresponds to a particular area of the body as well as particular state of mind (we have provided you with a chart to refer to). Always listen to your body.We seem to have an innate sense of what we need. Experiment with color. You will feel differently with each color. If, for example, you have a headache, try each color until you find one that takes it away. You may not like a particular color, but this may be the color you need.

How many colors can I use each day? There is no evidence to suggest that color can hurt you. Color is nothing more than light energy. You only receive the affects of the color while you are wearing it. Once you stop wearing it, you are no longer affected by it.

Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA)

Have you been suffering from chronic pain without any relief in sight? Trying to avoid surgery? Have you had surgery to no avail and relief from chronic pain?

Bulging disc, frozen shoulder, failed back surgery, compression syndromes, restricted motion that causes pain not yet helped by previous forms of manipulation, unresponsive pain, unresponsive muscle contracture which is preventing normal daily activities and function, post-traumatic syndrome injuries from whiplash-type injuries resulting in painful exacerbations of chronic fixations, chronic recurrent neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction syndromes, or neuromuscular conditions that are not yet surgical candidates but have reached MMI, especially with occupational injuries–manipulation under anesthesia may be your ANSWER!

Chronic pain sufferers across the nation are discovering the tremendous benefits of a procedure called Manipulation Under Anesthesia, or MUA. MUA is a non-invasive, highly-specialized technique performed by specially trained chiropractic physicians. After medical clearance, the patient is sedated to achieve a state of relaxation in an ambulatory surgical center setting. The state of relaxation allows the doctor to complete a series of adjustments and stretching movements without patient apprehension or muscle congestion. The results for properly selected patients are phenomenal.

For patients who are not finding relief through conservative treatment or who may be facing (or recovering from) surgery, MUA could be an effective alternative. Studies prove that MUA eliminates or greatly reduces pain, and it also restores or greatly improves ranges of motion. Compared to surgery and other procedures, the return-to-work and return-to-activity rates for MUA patients are significantly faster and longer lasting.

Colon Hydrotherapy

What is a colonic?

Colon hydrotherapy is a means of removing impacted waste from the walls of the large intestine, without the use of harsh drugs. By introducing controlled low pressure filtered water into the colon, the waste material is softened and loosened over a series of visits, resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. This process is repeated several times during each session.

The colon is the “sewer system” of the body. It is the place where we end storing years of impacted waste material that we tend not to ever think about. A healthy colon produces Vitamins B and K and absorbs water. A healthy digestive system helps to support a healthy immune system. A majority of your immune system is in the gut.

“The elimination of undigested food and other waste is as important to health as the proper digestion of food,” says gastrointestinal surgeon Leonard Smith, M.D. Due to a sluggish colon, the long transit times of certain food products such as meat, waste ferments and rots when it remains in the colon too long. This leads to the proliferation of bacterial toxins that may trigger headaches, fatigue, weight gain, to name of few maladies.

Colon hydrotherapy can help remove up to 20 pounds of impacted waste, eliminating toxic buildup to allow for better assimilation of vital nutrients and may facilitate significant weight loss.

What can I expect from a session with a colon hydrotherapist?

A session is a comfortable experience for most people. Sometimes if discomfort is experienced, the session can be terminated and resumed at any time.  Techniques are utilized to allow a small amount of filtered water to flow into the colon, gently stimulating the colon’s natural peristaltic action to break away and release softened waste. The inflow of a small amount of clean water and the subsequent release of impacted waste products may be repeated several times during the session. The removal of waste should encourage better colon functionality and easier future elimination.

During the session, most clothing can be kept on while at the same time being draped. The number of sessions required depends on each individuals’ particular condition and severity of symptoms. Each person’s health goals vary as well. Once at a foundation level of cleanliness, maintenance visits are recommended along with a sound diet plan, lifestyle modification, coupled with body movement (exercise, yoga, pilates, rebounding, qigong, 5 Tibetans, walking, jump roping, deep breathing) and frequent use of an infrared sauna for further deep detoxification of stored heavy metals, pollutants, vaccines, medications, and dental work. Colon hydrotherapy can provide much needed relief from bloating, constipation, improper digestion, and to facilitate further cleansing of the colon after liver and gall bladder cleanses.
