What is Hydrotherapy?

The application of water using different delivery systems, at varying temperatures and locations, to maintain health and treat disease states.

How does Hydrotherapy work?

When different temperatures of water therapy are applied to the body, it causes changes to the circulatory system. The circulatory system is predictable, and can be manipulated to increase or decrease flow in specific areas, dependent upon the temperature and location of the application. This allows the practitioner to increase or decrease circulation in specific areas of the body to get a desired effect.

Hydrotherapy can be used to increase detoxification by increasing circulation through our organs of elimination leading to enhanced waste removal resulting in cleaner blood. Increased circulation also leads to increased nutrient and oxygen delivery to organs and tissues.

What conditions can hydrotherapy be used to treat?

Hydrotherapy increases vitality, circulation, detoxification, oxygenation and nutrient absorption while decreasing muscle tension, inflammation and stress.

• Autoimmune or immune deficiencies, acute or chronic inflammation or infections
• Skin conditions
• Gastrointestinal conditions
• Respiratory conditions
• Genitourinary conditions
• Cardiovascular and Circulatory conditions

The Amethyst BioMat is a great addition to treatments like acupuncture, either after an adjustment or when used alone. It combines the use of therapeutic gemstones with far infrared technology and heat to provide healing in many ways. It increases microcirculation throughout the body, which leads to increased circulation, detoxification, relaxation, and induces a parasympathetic state in the nervous system. The increased circulation causes oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to the tissues and facilitates the removal of waste more effectively.

The unique combination of gemstones provides a source of negative ions, which are abundant in natural environments such as mountains, forests, oceans, waterfalls, and lakes. This promotes stress release, decreases inflammation, and boosts energy.

Conditions that the BioMat is used to treat:

• Joint Pain and Stiffness
• Muscle Pain, Strains, and Spasms
• Lymphatic Stagnation
• Acute Illness
• Inflammation
• Stress Relief
• Insomnia
• Gastrointestinal Disorders
• Cardiovascular System and Circulatory System Disorders
• Brain Fog
• Toxicities

Pranic Healing is a tested system of energy-based healing techniques created for the world by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui.  This healing technology utilizes Prana (Sanskrit for life force) to harmonize the body’s chakras and energy processes.  In China, this subtle energy is known is Qi, in Japan Ki and in the Old Testament it is called Ruah or the Breath of Life. Pranic Healing is a simple, powerful and effective no-touch healing system.
 
Diseases first appear as disruptions in the energetic field of the body before they manifest in the physical body.  Pranic healing adjusts the energetic field, also known as the aura, which is the blueprint for the physical body.  Thus when treating the energetic body, we will ultimately effect the physical body.  Pranic healing utilizes prana to energize, decontaminate and align and balance the energetic body.

Regenerative Medicine Injections and Treatments

Amniotic Allograft Liquid is derived from the amniotic layer of the placenta. Only full term, healthy, elective cesarean births are utilized. Neither the mother or child are harmed during the process. These cells have 10 times the amount of growth factors and cytokines than what is found in the blood of a healthy 18 year old. These growth factors provide a means to migrate and proliferate cells to an area of infection, injury, deterioration. This promotes the cells to set the ground work for new tissue growth. Amniotic Allograft is also highly anti-inflammatory. Amniotic Liquid Allograft is FDA cleared and some insurance companies may pay a portion of the treatment.

What You Can Expect:

• Little to no down time
• Decreased Inflammation
• Decreased Pain
• Increased Mobility
• Healthier Tissues
• Some slight swelling in the area of injections does sometimes occur

Amniotic Allograft injections and treatments can be used to treat a myriad of conditions. They are used both systemically and locally depending on the focus of the treatment.

Areas & Conditions that are commonly treated:

• Muscle Ligament and Tendon Treatment; carpal tunnel, surgery recovery, Torn Muscles and Ligaments, Tendonitis

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is short for proliferative therapy; which is what it does in the body.  It can assist in ligament, tendon and joint reconstruction without the need for surgery. These regenerative injections stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms to repair and strengthen injured and weakened areas of the body.  This is done by injecting a natural solution into a joint, muscle or ligament, which leads to a mild inflammatory response in the area of the injection.  This encourages growth and tightening of loose ligament fibers, strengthening the structure and restoring normal function, ultimately resulting in pain relief.

B12  Injections

Methyl Cobalamin, the active form of B12, can help you boost your energy, increase immunity, increase digestive enzymes for nutritional absorption, assist in protein synthesis, assist in fat breakdown, and increase the production of hormones and neurotransmitters.

Fat Burner Injections (B12 with MIC)

Methyl Cobalamin with Methionine, Inositol and Choline (MIC) has all of the benefits of B12 listed above, AND the added benefit of additional fat breakdown, detoxification and proper cholesterol utilization.

Clinical nutrition is a lot more than just getting your recommended daily allowances of vitamins and minerals or adhering to the food pyramid.  Clinical nutrition is customized specifically to your body.  We take into account your health goals and customize a plan that facilitates their accomplishment.  We take into account the way that your specific body’s biochemical pathways and enzymes work and chemical and environmental stressors that are unavoidable.

Deficient or excess amounts of vitamins and minerals can result in a host of chronic disease states that are rampant in today’s society.  Many of these conditions are treated inappropriately because the root cause is never addressed.  Every person processes, stores and eliminates differently.  Based upon what you are eating, your medical history, laboratory blood work, genetics and current health state we make recommendations with food, lifestyle and, when necessary, supplementation of nutrients to address your individual nutritional requirements.

We inherently know that thoughts can cause a physiologic response. We have all heard the term stress headache.   Just visualize for a moment that you are taking a bite of a big, juicy lemon.  What happened?  If you are like most people, your mouth is watering right now.  You are responding to the memory of a lemon leading to a physiological response.  This is similar to a stress response that is triggered from unresolved memories. 

We have two types of stress responses, either acute or chronic.  Acute is when you feel that you are in immediate danger.  Chronic stress effects the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands leading to the release of cortisol and physiologic side effects in the body.   Events, smells, sounds and feelings that we experience today can subconsciously remind us of past traumatic events, which can lead to chronic stress resulting in symptoms.  With NET these stressors can be found and eliminated so that we no longer react to the stimulus in the same way. This is a simple quick tool that can be used not only to treat emotions that we are aware of, but past emotions we are unaware that we are still responding to, as well as pain that is related to past emotional stress.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy has been used for over 200 years.  It is derived from the Greek words homeo (similar) and pathos (suffering), which describes how the medicine works.  Homeopathic medicine operates under the laws of nature that like cures like and that the body fundamentally has the innate ability to heal itself.

Homeopathic preparations contain extremely small amounts of the original substance from which they are derived .  When the body is given a homeopathic preparation of a substance that causes symptoms that are the same as the symptoms present, the body will respond to the substance by adapting. A dose of homeopathy acts as a stressor, and causes the body to return to its normal state.  To better describe this, I use the example of onion.  Most of us are familiar with the symptoms that can arise from chopping up a few fresh onions; runny nose, burning watery eyes, sometimes trouble breathing and desire for fresh air.   If someone presents with these symptoms, a homeopathic preparation of onion at a certain potency would likely be indicated. Homeopathy is rather complex and is based upon the all of the person’s symptoms both physically and emotionally.

Bach Flower Essences

Bach flower essences effectively treat mental-emotional conditions, such as, anxiety, depression, stress related conditions, PTSD, etc. These natural plant derived remedies that inexpensive, non-toxic and effectively improve emotional disposition beginning with the first dose.

Manipulation

There are many ways to adjust the body to create a better balance in the nervous system so that all of the muscles, vessels, organs and lymphatics work at their fullest potential. The following are some of the many things that are corrected during a visit at Transcendence Wellness Center.

Visceral Manipulation

• This can involve addressing adhesions from old injuries and surgeries.  Movements of organs such as a hiatal hernia, retroverted uterus, twists in the small and large intestines and drainage of organs such as gallbladder and liver, ect.

Spinal and Extremity Manipulation

• This involves using either traditional adjustments (similar to what a chiropractor would do), activator manipulation (impulse), or use of breath to allow muscles to relax and allow the movement of the bones into their correct position.

TMJ

• Addressing the TMJ can help with a variety of conditions, including; insomnia, jaw clenching, clicking and popping while chewing, balance issues, neck pain and much more.

Muscle Rehabilitation, Trigger Points, Muscle Weakness and Muscle Optimization

• Correcting abnormal muscle patterns and muscle weakness will make you feel better as you go about your day to day activities.  It helps reduce injuries that occur with exercise.  It is also used with athletes to optimize and reduce injuries during a golf swing, pitch, running, swimming, ect.

Ligaments and Connective Tissues

• Ligaments and connective tissue are responsible for holding your bones, muscles, vessels and visceral organs in the correct positions.  Micro and macro tears, weakness, increased laxity or “stretchiness” and misalignments of these tissues can lead to a host of problems throughout the body;  instability of joints, muscle weakness and abnormal function, decreased functionality of the vessels and organs throughout the body and chronic disorders like osteoarthritis. 

Nervous system Rehabilitation and Optimization

Craniosacral System

• The duramater is the outermost layer of your brain, and it runs down the spinal cord. Because of this, misalignments in the skull and/or sacrum can cause your entire spine to be impacted.  This will change the way your nerves are able to travel from your spinal cord to your organs, muscles and vessels, ultimately resulting in abnormal function.  We address this by correcting these misalignments, which optimizes the nervous system inflow and outflow of the spine and brain to the rest of the body.
