Deep Tissue Cleansing Program:

The process of colon irrigation is one of deep tissue cleansing. Many holistic practitioners believe that the primary cause of illness is toxicity build-up in the body leading to blockages; therefore, the concept of eliminating the problems rather than dealing only with the symptoms of the problems is said to require some type of cleansing program.

Regarding safety, before beginning the program there is a health evaluation to determine any contra-indication to your participation, and if there are any, you would be advised on a different and more appropriate plan for you.  The assessment and plan development is done over two sessions and if you are advised on a program other than the cleanse, the cost is $300.00. If the cleanse is appropriate for you and you choose to participate, the cost of assessment is included in the total cost of the program.

What we offer is an educational program in self-administered colon cleansing with the use of a colema board. We also provide all the products that you would use during a seven to ten day cleanse; during the time that you are with us, we monitor you once a day and are available to you throughout the program to answer questions you may have. Additional costs to you are for your stay in a local hotel if you are coming from out of town.

The cost of the program is $2,500.00.  

Chiropractic

Some conditions Chiropractic can treat: back and neck pain, whiplash, sciatica and disc problems, shoulder pain, knee pain,   radiating pain into the arms and legs, numbness and tingling in hands and feet, Tennis elbow, Golfer’s elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, hip disorders, muscle spasms, pinched nerves, sports injuries 

Chiropractic adjustments are safe and effective.  They have helped many problems       including: arthritis, gastritis, allergies, high blood pressure and constipation. This is achieved through the removal of subluxations which cause irritation to the spinal nerves and adversely affect the body’s organ systems. We do not claim to cure these problems. With the removal of subluxations or pinched nerves, the body’s innate ability to heal itself is increased and thus these problems can get better.

Chiropractic is a natural safe, and pain free way of eliminating back and neck pain. After a careful exam and case history, a protocol to adjust the spine (gently moving the bones in the back) into proper alignment will many times relieve the pain immediately. Note, however, that the recovery time will depend upon the age of the patient, how long the condition has been going on and if there is any arthritis in the spine.

Acupuncture 

Acupuncture is a holistic approach to the  treatment of many condition including depression,  sciatica, pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS, allergies, migraines, weight loss, smoking cessation, addiction, insomnia, fertility, facial rejuvenation and so much more.

Reiki 

Reiki is an ancient healing art uses life force energy to heal, harmonize and balance the physical, emotional and spiritual levels of the body. It is not a religion, but it is very spiritual in nature. The energy used in Reiki is far older in concept than any religious philosophy.  Anyone who practices some form of "spiritual healing" will use this life force energy (Ch'i, or Ki), but not all healers will use Reiki.

This life-changing experience is not a "miracle cure," nor will it prevent you from having challenges in your life. What it will do for you, at the very least, is help you to deal with those challenges much more effectively. A Reiki session begins with guided meditation/visualization, which aids in stress reduction, enabling the body and mind to help in the healing.

Healing Touch

Using transformational energy healing, we restore, balance and enhance functioning of your energy system, facilitating the self-healing process.  Working with the Chakras, (energy centers) Meridians, (energy pathways) and Auras, (energy fields) Healing Touch seeks to bring about inner wellness to the whole person.  Experience how directed healing energy can affect our longevity and enhance our quality of life.

Alexander Technique

Re-educate the body’s physical self with the ability to function correctly. Through somatic movement therapy we work on strength, flexibility and building structural integration.  Focusing on these core elements, we strive to develop a healthy life style, deal more effectively with daily activities and allow us to open to the full potential of our physical abilities.

EXPLAINING THE HEALTH CARE OPTIONS

There are three systems of health care available. The first is the allopathic medical system; this is the system practiced by most medical doctors. It is the world of the American Medical Association and that is aligned with the multibillion dollar pharmaceutical industry. This system of medicine is excellent in dealing with surgery, emergency and trauma.

The second system is alternative medicine. Alternative medicine
emphasizes prevention and looks more at causes of disease rather than symptoms. Instead of using powerful drugs with all there side effects, alternative medicine uses an array of methods including orthomolecular therapy (vitamin-mineral therapy), herbs, enzymes, amino acids, life style modification and a number of other protocols.

The third system is holistic health care. The holistic approach sees the human being as an integrated whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Thus, this approach is one in which all the various systems are brought to optimal functioning and the healing takes care of itself.

At the Genesis Health Center we utilize two systems, alternative and holistic.
