The human body is an electrical being and the health of it depends on the energy currents that run through it. When the body suffers a trauma (sprain, fatigue, infection, etc.), it encapsulates itself in some manner for healing purposes (inflammation, swelling, spasm, etc.). Normally free-flowing currents are disrupted and will circumvent the area of trauma and travel around it. This happens because electrical currents always take the path of least resistance (best conduction), so the flow of electricity in the traumatized area is significantly reduced. Enhanced micro-current treatment applied appropriately to the involved tissues or organ pathways can restore and recover optimal self-regulation functions.

Empowerment and Academic Success
Students who struggle at school often feel held back, defeated and discouraged. If they are able to get to the root of their learning difficulties by strengthening and growing their brain pathways, school becomes less tiring and challenging. Students start to take risks with learning as now, when they try, they are actually able to succeed! Feeling empowered in this way enables students to start making future plans and to believe that such plans will actually come to fruition. They are able to see how their efforts can manifest into things they might have never thought were possible!
Surgery for ACL Injuries
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is commonly seen in sports such as soccer, rugby, and skiing. Although many individuals initially recover well, the ongoing instability often prevents return to sports and leads to further knee injury, and the risk of developing future osteoarthritis becomes increased. Bracing is rarely sufficient. Surgical reconstruction performed early, within 3-6 weeks, helps to minimize the risk of further injury. ACL surgery should be treated as an urgent matter: assessment, diagnosis, and surgery can usually be completed within a few weeks. The athlete, elite, or weekend-warrior can then start early rehabilitation to maximize the benefits of the knee reconstruction.
What is Yoga Therapy?
Regular yoga classes are not for everyone. Yoga Therapy is a safe alternative if you suffer from pain, injury or chronic health conditions like fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, anxiety or depression. Over 500 peer-reviewed research studies indicate that yoga therapy can relieve over 100 physical, mental and emotional conditions. It provides you with practical tools to actively participate in your own healing process. You can learn to decrease your pain or disability by relaxing, breathing better, aligning your body and increasing balance, mobility and strength. You can calm your mind to manage stress and improve sleep. The classes are designed to be gentle and mindful, and poses are modified according to your ability.
Eliminate Pain & Regenerate Joints
To eliminate the pain of any form of musculo-skeletal injury and to regenerate any joint, especially with osteo-arthritic elements; acupuncture and Prolozone injection therapy are my treatment protocols. Each component of Prolozone therapy has a specific biological purpose. Procaine acts to re-establish cellular membrane potentials. Anti-inflammatory agents decrease edema and swelling. The inclusion of vitamins and minerals provides necessary substrates of oxygen utilization that in damaged tissues are often deficient. And finally, oxygen utilization is directly stimulated by ozone. In many cases Prolozone actually corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming permanently pain free.
