Functional Laboratory Assessments 
We provide our clients with the most comprehensive and functional nutrition assessments available today. We identify the key areas of weakness in their diets and lifestyles and make lasting changes. There is such a universal need for more accurate assessments that the doctor and the patient can use to objectively evaluate their progress. We use the largest accredited laboratories within the USA to evaluate blood, saliva, stool, and hair.

Biomechanical Assessments, Gait Analysis and Orthotics 
Do you suffer from bunions, painful calluses, hammer toes, metatarsalgia, spurs, plantar fascitis, painful feet and ankles, knee pain?  If you are exerting pressure in the wrong place, a bio-mechanical problem exists.  Our doctors are well trained in analyzing your feet and then taking the proper steps to correct the problem.  This information is then used to prescribe for you a pair of individualized, custom orthotics that are specific to your feet and needs.  Properly fitting orthotics can correct bio-mechanical faults in your feet, legs, knees, hips or back.

Applied Kinesiology
Applied kinesiology is a system to evaluate body function by muscle testing. It’s benefits include allowing the physician additional diagnostic procedures to narrow down the problem and restore normal body function.

Body Composition Analysis
Body composition analysis is a very important test that can provide much insight into how effectively your body is responding to the therapies in which you are engaged.
 
This simple and safe test provides vital information and critical distinctions that can allow for a more comprehensive assessment of health status. It can help define the need for diet, exercise and lifestyle modifications and for specific strategies for metabolic improvement.
 
Body composition analysis provides a measurement of percent body fat, lean muscle mass, fat mass, fluid balance and cell membrane health. These parameters of body composition are critical biomarkers that can be used to determine how successfully you are moving through the aging process. The measured parameters also provide insights into key areas of your internal function such as the health and function of the membranes that surround your cells and the current state of your fluid balance.
 
Since cell membranes allow the transport of nutrients into and waste products out of your cells, a window into this area of your health is extremely valuable and provides feedback into areas of care where we can focus your efforts. Fluid balance indicates the relative hydration inside and outside of your cells. Inability to maintain an optimal fluid balance range can indicate a need for increased mineral support, systemic detoxification, digestive support, and dietary modification. By monitoring body composition on an ongoing basis, you will be able to get quantifiable feedback on the progress you are making in achieving and sustaining optimal health.

Computerized Blood Chemistry Program

Computerized Blood Chemistry provides an understanding of nutritional information based on lab reports. Once the values are input, the program compares them to healthy values and correlates the blood components for an accurate assessment of nutritional needs. The program lists recommended products and a description of the recommended products. It is a valuable teaching tool to help understand blood.

Memory Loss – Mild Cognitive Impairment
Are you worried about your brain and its function? We know that good health has many dimensions, one of the most important and yet least measured is the health of a patient’s brain. Now with the advent of CNS Vital Signs™, we have an easy-to-use clinical tool that measures neurocognitive functions, such as Memory, Reaction Time, Psychomotor Speed, Complex Attention, and Cognitive Flexibility. Proper neurocognitive function is a major factor in determining a person’s quality of life. Neurocognitive testing helps clinicians and researchers evaluate the health of these higher functions of the brain. The brain and central nervous system (CNS) have “vital signs,” but they have never been easy to objectively measure, until now. Detect early signs of dementia or objectively assess AD/HD. This is a simple computer based program that is taken in the office. It takes 30 minutes to an hour.
