New Technique Relieves Radicular Symptoms Including
Burning, Numbness and Weakness

http://www.theamericanchiropractor.com/images/newtec.jpgMany doctors find it difficult to treat radiating symptoms, especially numbness.

These symptoms are often thought to be from disc protrusions, arthritic changes of the facets, or other pathology. Surprisingly, many doctors using the Pain Neutralization Technique report these symptoms are often due to muscular involvement, not discs. A specific type of pressure on paraspinal muscle reflexes consistently resolves many radiating syndromes, often in days.

Koren Specific Technique (KST) as Healthcare Protocol

 

http://www.theamericanchiropractor.com/images/corean.jpgThis is not a mere chiropractic technique; this is a healthcare protocol that can make any healthcare system work more in harmony with its purpose. When applied to chiropractic, the results are astounding. Subluxations are corrected anywhere in the body/mind in the correct order. Adjust yourself easily with low force – save your arms shoulders and hands and increase your practice life.

While many DC’s come to a KST seminar for personal health issues, our real goal is to teach DC’s to do the work so your patients and family members may heal to a greater and more complete extent than ever before. KST was discovered by accident; now we’ve opened up a Pandora’s box of health and healing that continues and magnifies the marvelous work of many of chiropractic’s masters: Palmer, Ward, Van Rump, DeJarnette, Goodheart and others.

In keeping with TGI’s reputation for full featured software at value prices, the entire check-in package, including hardware, adds only $1000 to the price of the software. With the addition of the check-in Kiosk, paperless, all electronic visits are now a reality with the Autumn8 system.

CoCurcumin™, the best bio-available curcumin

CoCuruminWe at Ayush Herbs have found a unique way to increase the absorption of curcumin. We have found that by binding medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) to Curcumin, it enhances the bioavailability many folds as curcumin is very lipophilic. MCTs are a unique form of dietary fats that impart a wide range of positive health benefits. The absorption of calcium, magnesium and amino acids appears to be enhanced when the diet contains MCTs. MCTs are an excellent choice for malnutrition and are often added to parenteral formulas for intravenous feeding following surgery or during recovery from severe injuries, burns and infections. With all of this in mind we have formulated, CoCurcumin™, the best bio-available curcumin on the market. It works great for inflammation!

A Healthy Spine Leads to a Healthy Body

It may surprise some of your patients that taking good care of the back or, more importantly, the Foot-Levelersspine can help improve a person’s overall health. Help your patients to see the big picture and you will help them improve their wellbeing.

Taking care of their feet can also help the spine. When your patients walk, their feet go through a three-part gait cycle: when the heel hits the ground, when the whole foot is on the ground, and a push-off from the toe area to take the next step. Foot Levelers works with your chiropractic treatment to help your patients stay healthier longer. Foot Levelers is the world’s exclusive provider of custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers, which support all three arches of the foot. Stabilizers help to align the ankles, hips, and pelvis to provide a balanced foundation for the spine, helping your chiropractic adjustments hold longer.

For more information about any of Foot Levelers’ products, call us at 1-800-553-4860 (USA) or 1-800-344-4860 (CAN) or visit us online at www.FootLevelers.com.
