Within your body is a healing power more powerful than a magnificent waterfall, but when the flow of that life-force is obstructed, your body’s natural ability to be healthy and to resist illness and disease is greatly reduced. This is called your Body Healing Power or Vital Force and this power that made your body also heals your body.
There is an increasing worldwide demand for a more natural approach to health and wellness. Optimum health is accomplished when our structural, emotional, biochemical and energetic systems are harmoniously balanced with our spiritual center. We are committed to staying on the leading edge of natural health care. As natural health care consultants, we use the following techniques to bring your health into balance:
Every function of the body is under the control of the brain and nervous system. The nervous system is protected by the spinal column made up of vertebrae. When the joints and discs between any vertebrae become fixated or subluxated (misaligned) through injury, postural problems, chemical imbalance or other stressors, they interfere with the normal nerve energy flow to the organs, tissues and cells they supply. This in turn, adversely affects the health of all the basic body systems: digestive, respiratory, circulatory, glandular and reproductive and detoxification. The objective of chiropractic care is to remove spinal subluxation, which is nerve interference caused by a misalignment of the spinal vertebrae. This is done by a non-invasive gentle adjustment done by hand or instrument on an adjusting table and involves applying specific pressure to a certain area of the spine that stimulates movement in joints to decrease pain pathways neurologically. Gentle chiropractic care combined with other physical medicine decreases the obstructions by restoring motion and improving functional limitations.
Doctors of Chiropractic are trained and licensed to render physiotherapies that are used in conjunction with gentle chiropractic treatment to facilitate your healing. Some of these are: massage and deep tissue therapy, percussion, neuromuscular re-education, electrical muscle stimulation, kinetic activities, life style strategies, applied kinesiology, ultrasound, cold laser and low level laser therapy, intersegmental traction, mind/body stress reduction techniques, exercise and stretching, inversion traction and hot/cold packs.
Our licensed Physical Therapists and Physical Therapy Assistants on staff render services under their California license that include post-surgical rehabilitation, sports injury management, ultrasound, percussion, neuromuscular re-education, electrical muscle stimulation, Infrared Sauna, Deep Muscle Stimulator machine, therapeutic exercise, manual therapy tissue work, extremity rehab strengthening, proprioceptive training and kinetic activities. Our Physical Therapists accept referrals from other doctors including: medical doctors, orthopedists, neurologists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and occupational therapists. Our post surgical rehabilitation programs are designed to enable a faster recovery time. Services covered by insurance and Medicare are subject to each individuals policy.
Our team of highly trained therapist utilize many techniques in their treatment, depending on a specific need. Some of these include: deep muscle therapy, lymphatic drainage, cranial sacral, myofascial release, myoskeletal, polarity, acupressure, shiatsu and stress relief.
A system, which evaluates our structural, chemical and mental aspects. It employs muscle testing with standard methods of diagnosis. Nutrition, manipulation, diet, acupressure, exercise and education are used therapeutically to help restore balance and maintain well being throughout life.

The goal of ART® is to restore optimal texture, motion, and function of the soft tissue and release any entrapped nerves or blood vessels. This is accomplished through the removal of adhesions or fibrosis in the soft tissues via the application of specific protocols. Adhesions can occur as a result of acute injury, repetitive motion, and constant pressure or tension. ART® eliminates the pain and dysfunction associated with these adhesions.
This service is performed exclusively by Dirk
Ringstad, Certified ART Practitioner.

Stretching and Flexibility Programs, Yoga, Pilates, Functional Core Training and Sport Specific Training. We have general and personalized protocols and sessions.
We offer a body detoxification circuit that includes:
- Turbosonic Vibrational Therapy - TurboSonic® patented technology accelerates the body's natural healing response, increases cellular oxygen circulation, enhances cellular nutrient uptake, stimulates cellular fluid movement and facilitates cellular waste removal. Benefits may include improved: Circulation, strength, performance, energy, endurance, balance, coordination, flexibility, agility and health and well being.
And a reduction in: Pain, stress, fatigue, cortisol and fat and cellulite
- Ion Foot Baths - Ionic Detox footbaths work by sending a small current that goes in a
circuit through the body and generates positively charged ions. The high concentration of the ion field attaches to the negatively charged toxins neutralizing them and the body is then able to discard them through the approximate 2000 pores that are on the bottom of your feet. It alkalizes the blood and tissue thereby creating correct ph balance. Many believe that disease only occurs when your body is in an acid state.
- Infrared Sauna - Infrared heat is light produced by the sun. Far Infrared wavelengths, which are nothing more than the heating element produced naturally by our sun, penetrate deep into our body’s core, seeping into our muscles, tissues and organs. This penetration raises your core temperature and gets your heart pumping faster enabling your body to detoxify. Since detoxification is critical due to the increasing amounts of toxins in our diet and environment, the Infrared sauna is an effective therapy to assist with the removal of these toxins. Other symptoms or conditions that are said to experience health benefits: insomnia, constipation, fibromyalgia, allergies, chronic infections, arthritis, weight loss, circulation, stress reduction, immune system and fatigue after a few weeks of sauna therapy.
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) – This therapy is a process that takes place in a regulated, pressurized environment where 100% of breathing oxygen is delivered in the most efficient method to cells throughout the entire body. Conditions that may benefit from HBOT: Stroke recovery, head and spinal cord injuries, diabetic complications, multiple sclerosis, post-surgical healing, autism, migraines and decompression sickness “the bends”.
Structural support during pregnancy is important and can aid in an easy delivery. Nutritional needs are monitored, consultation in the birth process itself, nursing, etc.
We're committed to children being healthy. Dr.'s
Gary and Lisa have three children of their own that
are treated regularly. We specialize in children and
their unique needs. They respond particularly well
because they're usually free from "stuck" patterns and
scar tissues. It has been shown that adjustments
increase the white blood cell count which is the
body's disease fighting defence, so adjustment at
first sign of illness is very helpful.
How does it work? There have been numerous scientific studies and many research articles that discuss different aspects of Low Laser Light Therapy (LLLT), each with their own unique perspective, however the simple answer is through photonic absorption, laser light energy converts into chemical energy which initiates a cascade of events at a cellular level:
- LLLT promotes healing in many conditions because it penetrates the skin, increases the ATP and activates enzymes in the targeted cells.
- Growth factor response within the cells and tissue as a result of increased ATP and protein synthesis.
- Improved cell proliferation
- Pain relief as a result of increased endorphin release.
- Strengthening the immune system response via increasing levels of lymphocyte activity.
Dietary changes and nutritional supplements are used to balance the body's supply of specific nutrients that may be out of balance due to diet, functional physiological imbalances or your individual reactions to the stresses you face. We use scientifically formulated supplements that are precise blends of herbs, vitamins, minerals and other nutritional components. They are available only through healthcare professionals and are often not the same as the vitamins and other supplements available to the general public.
These include but are not limited to: Comprehensive Blood Panel, Adrenal Stress Index, Salivary Hormones and Female/Male Hormone Tests, Stool Analysis, Standard Detoxification Profile, Comprehensive Detoxification Profile, Food Allergies Testing – Food Antibody Profiles and Intestinal Permeability.
A technique used to facilitate the release of negative emotions causing stress by identifying, connecting to and reducing the underlying accompanying emotional stressors held in the body. (When you go to the N.E.T. website, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “watch video” and view both. They are quick and a great overview.)

The practice of giving small amounts of a specifically prepared natural substance that stimulates the body's inherent ability to cure itself based on its symptoms.
In acupuncture, points along the meridians, situated all over the body, are either stimulated or sedated with needles in order to restore harmony to the body. Chinese Meridian Therapy includes the meridians, their channel pathology and the application of magnets on specific pressure points along the meridians. The aim of Meridian Therapy is to keep the body's vital energy flowing, eliminating blockages, energy loss or stagnation. This therapy is also responsible for stimulating the body's own healing potential not only to heal itself but also to prevent future imbalances.
Cranial Sacral Technique is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system. By complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.
A technique that is used to relieve stress in body systems and restore balance to the nervous systems. TBM uses the neuromuscular reflex test and body access points to tap into the body's bio-computer and read functional programs. We recognize that certain conditions produce predictable subluxation patters in the spine. Corrections are usually made by means of respiratory spinal treatment of these patters, or by soft tissue or joint manipulation. TBM may sometimes look like magic to the uninformed, because When the right thing is done to the right body, at the right time, miracles happen! But, even though it appears so incredible, it is eminently teachable and learnable. The procedures are repeatable from practitioner to practitioner and can correct imbalanced physiology from pre-natal life to just before death.
