Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system that evaluates structural, chemical and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing combined with other standard methods of diagnosis. AK, a non-invasive system of evaluating body function that is unique in the healing arts, and has become a dynamic movement in health care in its relatively short existence.
The combined terms “applied” and “kinesiology” describe the basis of this system, which is the use of manual muscle testing to evaluate body function through the dynamics of the musculoskeletal system. Treatments may involve specific joint manipulation or mobilization, various myofascial therapies, cranial techniques, meridian and acupuncture skills, clinical nutrition, dietary management, counseling skills, evaluating environmental irritants and various reflex procedures.
The triad of health lists the three basic causes of health problems. They are structural, chemical, and mental, with structure as the base of the triad. Literally, all health problems, whether functional or pathological, are involved with one part or all parts of the triad. The physician who is aware of the triad of health, and evaluates every patient for all three sides, increases his ability to find the basic underlying cause of a patient's health problem.
Chiropractic Adjustments and Manual Manipulation
An adjustment or spinal manipulation is a therapeutic intervention perfomed on joints through both high velocity adjustments and through low impact "respiratory" adjustments. Dr. Rex has studied both Gonstead and Diversified adjustment techniques and uses both in his practice. As Naturopathic Physicians, Dr. Lynda and Dr. Amber, use manual manipulation therapy that is not Chiropractic adjusting, but gently moves the spine and extremities.
Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET)
Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) helps address conditions associated with a mind-body connection. This technique was developed in the early 1980s by Dr. Scott Walker and is a psychosomatic stress reduction intervention procedure aimed at improving health. NET combines a number of techniques and principles from traditional Chinese medicine, chiropractic and applied kinesiology. It is an holistic approach to wellness that focuses on imbalances in physical structure, unresolved "neuro-emotional complexes" causing negative patterns of behavior, toxins in the body, and deficiencies in nutrition.
Nutritional Counseling
We use a series of diagnostic and laboratory testing to evaluate the functioning of the internal organs as well as their relation to the entire body to determine the most effective dietary and lifestyle recommendations possible for each individual patient. Food is a huge part of our culture and daily lives. We want to teach you how to heal yourself with whole natural foods. We can provide health consultations, food plans, food alternatives, and be a support for you throughout your health journey.
Total Body Modification (TBM)
Total Body Modification (TBM) optimizes treatment and the body's response through the introduction of treatment protocols in a specific order. Treatment includes: use of activator (versus high velocity adjusting), acupressure, diet modifications (to include blood sugar management), emotional work, lifestyle interventions, and use of test vials.
Fitness counseling
Body movement is crucial to maintaining ones’ health, their mental state, and overall maintenance. By using natural modalities such as Physical Therapy, body weight workouts, yoga, and meditation we will teach you how to better understand your body and protect your nervous system to cope with your everyday life.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy allows for manipulation and rebalancing of the pelvic floor muscles allowing for reintegration and re-establishment of normal pelvic floor tone. Re-establishing normal tone allows for improved pelvic stability which can decrease pelvic pain and discomfort as a result of birthing trauma, and sexual trauma, can improve bowel and bladder control, and can improve sexual arousal and orgasm.
InJection Therapy
IV therapy is one of the quickest and most effective ways to get nutrients directly into your blood stream, bypassing the digestive process, allowing vitamins and minerals to go directly into the tissues where they are needed.
IV therapy can help with rehydration and revitalization, can help with vitamin deficiencies, can increase athletic performance, can improve brain health, can improve immune function, and can help with weight-loss. We offer direct subcutaneous injections, as well as IV pushes and drips.

Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormones can be affected by how well they are transported, genetics, nutrient status (enzymes and cofactors), how well they are used, how fast they break down, and environmental factors. Addressing hormone optimization involves supporting multiple mechanisms of metabolism, reducing environmental exposures, and supporting HPTAO axis function with different methods of hormone replacement, herbs, and supplements.​
The root cause of a hormone imbalance often dictates the course of treatment. In many cases, hormone replacement therapy using natural bioidentical hormones is the best option. Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment option with the least number of side effects when compared to non-bioidentical hormone therapy treatments. In addition to treating hormone imbalance, BHRT has been shown to reduce risk of certain diseases, including some cardiovascular complications and breast cancer.
Hormone therapy options include testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormone therapies delivered as creams, gels, lozenges, pills, patches, or pellets. Your plan will be paired with nutraceuticals to maximize efficacy and ensure your body has all the nutrients necessary to support optimal bioavailability and absorption of your hormone treatment. Each plan is tailored to meet your unique needs using integrative functional medicine practices that have been proven effective for better health. ​
​
Approximately 12 percent of the U.S. population is suffering from some sort of thyroid disorder, yet less than half of those individuals receive diagnosis and treatment. Most diagnoses occur in people over the age of 60 with women being five times more likely to be affected by thyroid dysfunction than men. Ignoring symptoms of a thyroid disorder, like an intolerance to heat or cold, unexplained weight gain or loss, low energy and a sluggish metabolism, can put women at greater risk of other diseases, such as osteoporosis and heart disease. ​Thyroid therapy is complex. We test a patient’s T3, T4, and TSH levels, as well as thyroid antibodies, cortisol, and reverse T3 to get a clear picture of thyroid function. With that information, we can determine which combination of thyroid hormones will support you in reaching optimization and relieving your symptoms.

Minor Surgery
Minor surgical procedures include examination of concerning abnormalities involving the skin and nails and subsequent removal of things such as skin tags, warts, cysts, or lesions. These procedures are considered out-patient and are most commonly conducted under local anesthesia. Our physicians are also available for suturing of minor cuts and injuries.
BHRT - Pellet Insertion
Our hormones are fundamental to everyday life, and changes in their balance require special management, whether it be due to a medical condition or a specific stage of life.
As men and women age, hormone levels – testosterone, estrogen, and others – naturally decline. However, hormone imbalance may happen to people as early as their 20s and beyond, due to the vast amount of toxins that enter the body from the environment, chemicals we consume in everyday products and toxic, stressful relationships.
The EvexiPEL method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) with pellets provides a superior approach to optimize hormones and address health conditions and symptoms associated with unbalanced hormones in women and men.
​
Instead of daily treatments, most patients only have to visit a practitioner
2-3 times per year for pellet implants. Pellets deliver a steady stream of hormones – when the body needs it – mimicking the way the body naturally releases hormones.
