CHIROPRACTIC
-
is
the
proper
alignment
of
the
spine
and
vertebrae,
which
allows
the
central
nervous
system
to
function
smoothly.
Misalignments
caused
by
poor
posture
or
trauma
result
in
pressure
on
the
spinal
nerve
roots,
often
lead
to
diminished
system
function
and
illness.
Dr.
Carraher
utilizes
a
combination
of
techniques
includ-
ing
Applied
Kinesiology,
Thompson,
Activator,
Diversified
and
Emotional
Techniques
to
maintain
natural
alignment
of
the
body
so
it
can
function
at
optimal
capacity.
ACUPUNCTURE
-
was
developed
in
China
almost
6,000
years
ago.
It
is
based
on
the
theory
that
the
qi
or
chi
'Life
Force'
is
channeled
in
a
continuous
flow
throughout
the
body
by
a
network
of
meridians
or
energy
pathways.
The
imbalance
of
the
meridian
system
is
understood
to
be
the
cause
of
disease.
Dr.
Carraher
has
been
practicing
acupuncture
since
1995,
utilizing
the Acugraph
Digital
Meridian
Imaging
system.
This
is a
computerized
energetic
diagnostic
tool
used
to
provide
analysis
and
documentation
of
energy
level
in
the
acupuncture
meridians.
Also,
there
are
programs
for
addiction,
smoking
and
weight
control.

ALLERGY
ELIMINATION
-
is
the
use
of
the
Bioset
Technique,
which
helps
eliminate
food
allergies
by
stimulating
acupuncture
meridians.
NATUROPATHY
-
is
a
system
of
medicine
using
natural
substances
as
treatment.
A
patient's
mental,
emotional,
and
physical
state
must
all
be
treated
for
lasting
effect.
The
basic
principles
include
the
belief
that
within
all
humans
is
an
innate
healing
energy
and
that
therapies
need
to
support
and
stimulate
the
healing
energy
with
the
gentlest,
least
invasive
and
most
efficient
way
possible.
Dr.
Carraher
has
a
passion
for
naturally
balancing
the
body,
so
he
also
offers
natural
products
such
as
homeopathy,
Standard
Process
whole
food
supplements
and
detoxification
programs.
MASSAGE
THERAPY
-
in
general
is
the
mani-
pulation
of
soft
tissue
for
therapeutic
purposes.
Massage
involves
manipulation
of
muscles
and
connecting
tissue
by
hand
or
mechanical
device,
with
the
intention
of
increasing
circulation,
promoting
detoxification
and
reducing
physical
and
emotional
stress,
while
enhancing
general
wellness.
There
are
two
certified
massage
therapists
on
staff
who
have
many
years
of
experience
in
soft
tissue
techniques. |
