Acupuncture

A large number of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders induced by stress are being successfully treated by acupuncture. According to the World Health Organization data, many disorders relating to stress can be effectively treated by acupuncture.

  

Body Composition Testing

Using Bioimpedance Anaylsis(BIA), physicians can assess your body composition, a measurement of your body fat in relation to lean body mass. Excess fat, also known as altered body composition, is related to significantly greater risks or cardiovascular disease, diabetes and many other chronic diseases. Over 100 independent studies, conductd by researchers over the past 20 years, have shown the efficacy and usefulness of bioimpedance analysis for testing body composition.  Body composition testing is also a tool used with most patients to measure progress as they work toward their goals of better health.

  

Chiropractic Medicine

The chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, with the vision to see the human body as much more than the sum of its parts. Stressing the patient's overall well being, it recognizes that many factors affect health, including exercise, diet, rest, environment and heredity. Chiropractic focuses on maintaining optimal health naturally so that the body is better able to resist disease, rather than simply treating the symptoms of disease. Chiropractic is a drug-free, non-surgical science and, as such, does not include pharmaceuticals or incisive surgery.

Naturopathic physicians are licensed by the state of Connecticut to diagnose and treat illnesses with natural therapeutics. They receive four years of medical training, including a two-year clinical internship. Naturopathic medicine is science-based and naturopathic physicians possess excellent diagnostic skills.
