Clinical Services
Chiropractic
Dr. Edgar Uses a biomechanically based alignment of the spine and extremities as well as myofascial (deep massage) release techniques, through manual and instrument adjusting. Dr. Edgar has found Arthrostim adjusting to be highly effective in treating patients of all ages. The Arthostim is a gentle-force instrument used to adjust joints that are misaligned or ‘rusted shut’/fixed. The instrument beats at 12-14 beats per second. This is the Schuman Frequency. The brain also vibrates at the Schuman Frequency. The Arthrostim stimulates the proprioceptors and other classes of receptors in and around the joints to balance out of place or stuck joints and tight myofascial elements. No twisting, cracking or ‘popping’ of the joints is necessary.
Occasionally manual adjusting is optimal or requested, and Dr. Edgar is of course, well versed to provide this service as well.
Dr. Edgar follows the guidance of KST or Koren Specific Technique which is a system of analysis similar to Applied Kinesiology that locates areas of concern in the body such as misaligned joints/vertebrae, myofascial issues, energy blocks, etc.
Acupuncture
Dr. Edgar is a Diplomate of the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture and was trained in 5 Element Acupuncture, a meridian based, whole body therapy that may include auriculotherapy, Korean hand acupuncture, moxabustion, and/or cupping. New Patients frequently will begin with an Acugraph meridian exam which charts the imbalances that may be present within the body.
Dr. Edgar also offers cosmetic acupuncture.
Class 4 Laser
Dr. Edgar uses the LZR7, which is a powerful, FDA cleared, cold class 4 laser. Using infrared energy, phenomenal results are achieved in a short period of time. Laser treatments reduce inflammation, block pain and stimulate tissue healing for fast pain relief, increased range of motion, flexibility, and dramatically reduced rehabilitation time from injury.
Nutrition Counseling
Surveys show that 20% of the US population never eats vegetables and 40% rarely consumes fruit. The Standard American Diet, (SAD) which contains food grown on depleted soils, had left Americans deficient in many nutrients important to health. 95% of Americans are deficient in one or more major minerals and many trace minerals, which have been proven to be necessary for bone mineralization. Dr. Edgar counsels patients on creating healthy eating habits, tests for nutrient deficiencies using KST, blood work and/or acupuncture meridian testing.
