There are times when it is necessary to utilize other natural approaches in combination with regular chiropractic treatment to obtain the desired results or to speed recovery. Here at our clinic here in Eugene, Oregon, we treat a wide variety of disorders that respond well to these complimentary/alternative medicine methods. Excellent results have been obtained utilizing homeopathic medicines for the treatment of allergies, infections, heavy metal toxicity, yeast over growth, chronic stomach disorders and malaise. When there is specific dysfunction of or decreased function of an organ or system this can be enhanced and supported by the use of protomorphgens or glandular extractions. So things such as lowered immune function, thyroid dysfunction, liver or kidney stress, gall bladder dysfunction and others can usually be positively effected and returned to normal function without the use of prescription drugs. There are both general and specific nutritional products that can assist the body to return to its normal balance. We use products that are formulated explicitly for professional heath care workers so the quality and reliability is excellent.
Health can be looked at as an equilateral triangle. One side made up of the structural, the next side made up of mental or emotional influences, and the last side being made by a chemical component. This chemical component can be effected by our internal and external environment. When any of these sides of the triangle become out of balance they create problems in the others. This is why when we treat only a symptom we generally miss the cause. Many musculoskeletal conditions that are reoccurring are caused from something else. To correct it one may need to use a nutritional supplement or other products, add dietary changes and exercise or work on stress levels.
Homeopathic medicines have been in use since the 1600's. They are safe, inexpensive and very effective when applied properly. Most nutritional products and nutritional herbal combinations are safe and effective as well. When these products are used together with chiropractic care the positive results are quick and long lasting.
