Acupuncture  Provided by: Bethleigh Flanagan

An ancient healing art which includes the insertion of very fine needles on the body's surface, in order to influence physiological functioning of the body.

Bioflex Laser Therapy  Provided by: Dr. Patricia Salvitti

This dynamic emerging technology utilizes superluminous and laser diodes to irradiate abnormal tissue with photons. These are particles of energy that are absorbed by a variety of micro-molecules within the cell, a process which initiates a number of positive physiological responses. In essence, light energy is converted into biochemical energy. The result - normal cell morphology and function are restored.  For more information

Infratonic  Provided by: Dr. Patricia Salvitti

Infratonic Therapy is a therapeutic massage method involving infusion of damaged or abnormal tissue with high and low frequency signals in several forms, mechanical massage, acoustical, and magnetic. The low frequency signal includes bands of randomly varying frequency, predominantly in the range of the brain’s alpha rhythm while excluding the ranges of theta and low beta. The high frequency signal is also random and rides on the low frequency signal increasing the randomness and making the low frequency signal unpredictable by the body tissue, therefore more penetrating and more effective.

The frequency signals created by the Infratonic unit address the structural, biochemical and psychosomatic components of injury and/or trauma.

  1. Structural: Cell Damage - to accelerate the recovery of bone, tendon, and muscle cells which get damaged from fractures, tears, and overwork, this is the most effective signal.
  2. Biochemical: Abnormal Cellular Response - when cells are shocked by external stimuli and become conditioned to function abnormally, usually with inappropriate inflammation or effusion, or with excess or deficient production of biochemicals, the cell has become operatively conditioned by the trauma. The second signal reduces this abnormal conditioning and restores normal cellular functioning.
  3. Psychosomatic: Healing inhibited by stress - where nervous stress or worry cause abnormal activity of the cells, and either impede healing or create chronic health problems in the physical body, the third signal is most effective at creating a mental/emotional sense of well being, which frees the cells to pursue normal healing.

Chiropractic- Kinesiology  Provided by: Dr. Barbara Crowe

Muscle testing used to reveal abnormal body function. Used in conjunction with chiropractic to determine the best course of action for treatment.

Chiropractic- Low Force  Provided by: Dr. Patricia Salvitti

Based on 20+ years of clinical experience, combining the best of a number of techniques. Administered with hand held instruments used for the correction of joint fixations along the spine and/or extremities. Specificity, accuracy and effectiveness without trauma.

Years of clinical practice and experience have shown Dr Salvitti that an individualized multi-pronged approach is often necessary for a patient to achieve optimal results. Numerous factors are taken into account to design a care plan, which includes recommendations for diet, exercise, stress reduction, allergy prevention and treatment, and nutritional support products (as needed) as well as your treatments at the Wellness Center.

Nutrition Counseling  Provided by: Dr. Joel Edman

Dr. Edman has developed diet and lifestyle programs for patients with a wide range of medical issues, such as cancer, metabolic syndrome (overweight and obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.), neuropsychiatric disorders (depression, fatigue, poor memory, MS, Parkinson’s Disease, etc.) and gastrointestinal disorders (IBS, reflux, IBD, etc.). His consultations focus on specific and therapeutic dietary plans that are individually tailored to the unique needs and characteristics of the patient. This includes a meal and snack plan, supportive recommendations and resources, and a range of other helpful suggestions.

Pain Neutralization  Provided by: Dr. Patricia Salvitti

A method of combining several simple, standard neurological reflexes to immediately change the tone in a painful muscle, eliminating many chronic exquisitely painful areas and symptoms. The doctors and practitioners (D.C.s, L.Acs, M.D.s, D.O.s, P.T.s, N.D.s and body workers) who have learned Pain Neutralization Techniques™ (P.N.T.)  acclaim this as a major breakthrough in the treatment of pain. Many of these doctors have extensive training in most of the other healing techniques taught.

Somatics Movemen Provided by: Kate Juliano

Developed by Dr. Thomas Hanna, it is a series of both table (on a massage table) and floor movements designed to address our sensory-motor systems which continually respond to daily stresses and traumas with specific muscular reflexes. These reflexes, repeatedly triggered, create habitual muscular contractionswhich we cannot voluntarily relax. The table and floor movements provide a direct and effective way to re-program the sensory-motor system.

Therapeutic Massage  Provided by: Kate Juliano

Therapeutic Massage has an impressive range of physical, mental and emotional benefits. It reduces stress and helps one to let go of unconsciously held tension. It increases blood and lymph circulation and strengthens the immune system. Regular massage can reduce chronic pain, improve muscle tone, speed the removal of metabolic wastes, lower blood pressure and calm the nervous system. Aromatherapy oils may also be used in the therapeutic quality of the session.

Trager Technique  Provided by: Kate Juliano

The Trager Approach, developed by the late Milton Trager, M.D. utilizes gentle movements to the muscles and joints to produce positive sensory feelings which enter the central nervous system, eliticing tissue changes by means of the many sensory-motor feedback loops between the mind and the muscles. These movements facilitate deep relaxation, increase physical mobility and promote the body's optimal performance. The Trager Approach has been successful in treating a variety of conditions including neck and back pain, headaches, muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, sports and other injuries and depression to name a few.
