Techniques
Network Chiropractic or Network Spinal Analysis
This is the primary technique practiced at Elan and is an evidence based approach to wellness and body awareness. Gentle, precise touches to the spine cause the brain to develop new wellness promoting strategies, allowing the body to release stored tension and stress using increased awareness, breath and natural movements. The work we do is excellent for not only spinal discomfort, (back, neck pain and headaches), but also for addressing the underlying disorders associated with other conditions. This technique can be used as a basis for a wellness health strategy.
Massage Therapy
Since the dawn of time, Massage has been used to reduce stress and relieve pain. Elan's caring therapists are trained, certified and registered. Our mandate is to provide you with a safe, stress free, high quality massage. Whether your appointment is for pain reduction or stress management, our therapists will make every effort to tailor your experience to your needs.
NAET : Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique
We use NAET, a natural elimination technique that combines muscle testing, acupressure, and chiropractic to strengthen the immune system, resulting in a decrease or elimination of allergies. This looks at how the items you contact daily (food, environmental, chemical, etc) either strengthen or weaken your overall health. We work to systematically eliminate the sensitivities to help the immune system recover its strength and normal function. See www.naet.com.
Pregnancy and Pediatric Care
The Webster technique, discovered by Dr. Larry Webster, is a specific chiropractic adjustment for pregnant mothers that removes interferences to the nervous system, balances the pelvic muscles and ligaments, and alleviates constraints on the uterus, thus allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.
Acupuncture
From a western medicine point of view, acupuncture causes many physiological changes in the body. According to the NIH (National Institute of Health), researchers are studying at least three possible explanations for how acupuncture works:
Opioid Release-
During acupuncture, endorphins that are part of the body's natural pain-control system may be released into your central nervous system. This reduces pain much like taking a pain medication.
Spinal Cord Stimulation- Acupuncture may stimulate the nerves in your spinal cord to release pain-suppressing neurotransmitters. This is sometimes been called the "gate theory."
Blood Flow Changes- Acupuncture needles may increase the amount of blood flow in the area around the needle. The increased blood flow may supply additional nutrients or remove toxic substances, or both, promoting health.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopaths seek to restore and maintain optimum health by supporting nature's inherent self-healing process. Their primary goal is to treat the underlying cause of disease. Treatments are chosen based on the ondividual patient, not based on the generality of symptoms.
Naturopathic Medicine treats most health conditions, including allergies, colds, high blood pressure, fatigue, pain and headaches, skin conditions, and digestive problems. Women's issues and hormonal issues are frequently treated successfully, ranging from menstrual difficulties to infertility to menopausal complaints. Men's health care, prenatal and pediatric care is also offered
.
Somato Respiratory Integration
These are exercises from Dr. Donald Epstein's book, "The 12 Stages of Healing", which are designed to help the brain reconnect with the body and its experience. These exercises reconnect breathing with awareness of the body and its natural rhythms. They help the individual experience his/her body more fully, instantly shift the individual's state of consciousness to one that supports trust for the body-mind and healing process, as well as promote increased peace and ease.
Craniosacral Therapy
Gentle micro-manipulation of the bones of the face, head and spine and of the connective tissues of the nervous system can especially help children and babies who have difficult deliveries or traumas. Craniosacral therapy has also helped people with TMJ problems, headaches, sinus pain and a variety of other health concerns.
Quantum Dynamic Bodywork
Ever heard the expression "less is more"? With
Quantum Dynamic Bodywork, less focus is put on manipulation of soft tissues and more focus is placed on breathing and getting to the root patterns and vibrations that lock into our various body zones. If you are under Network care, this is and excellent complement to your wellness plan.
Reiki Therapy
Reiki Therapy is a holistic Japanese, light-touch, energy based modality. Through a series of hand positions directly on the body, the practitioner allows for the flow of energy, which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body’s innate healing ability. Reiki is simple, produces measurable results & is the perfect modality for clients who prefer a more indirect approach to healing.
Raindrop Therapy
Raindrop Therapy combines aromatherapy with massage in the application of essential oils to various areas of the body to bring structural and electrical alignment. This is a way to bring balance and harmony to the body: physically, mentally & emotionally. This is especially beneficial for people with Multiple Sclerosis or Fibromyalgia.
