Under the extensive training and experience of Dr. Randee Ward, we are proud to offer Gua sha, a revered traditional Chinese healing technique. Dr. Ward, trained extensively in holistic Oriental medicine, utilizes this ancient method to help patients manage chronic pain and enhance overall wellness. Gua sha involves a trained professional skillfully using a smooth-edged tool to stroke the skin. During the treatment, a therapeutic oil is applied to the body to facilitate the use of a stone-like Gua sha tool. This tool is employed to scrape the skin with long, downward strokes, leading to the appearance of small, red, rash-like dots under the skin known as petechiae. These markings are a key indicator of the treatment’s impact on deep-tissue microcirculation.

This technique is often integrated with other complementary therapies such as herbal medicine, massage, acupuncture, and heat therapy, enhancing its efficacy. Gua sha is primarily used to:

• Improve blood circulation
• Promote a lifting effect on the skin, potentially aiding in detoxification
• Alleviate pain and stiffness in areas like the back, neck, arms, legs, and buttocks

The treatment intensity can vary, starting gently and increasing in pressure according to your comfort level, ensuring a personalized experience.

Gua sha is generally safe but may cause temporary bruising, discoloration, or tenderness. It is not recommended for individuals on blood clotting medications. Always consult with your healthcare provider before beginning new treatments.

Cupping therapy is an ancient technique renowned for its health benefits. With extensive experience in holistic Chinese therapies, Dr. Ward uses cupping to improve blood flow, boost immune function, remove toxins, and reduce pain, providing a comprehensive approach to wellness.

Cupping involves placing glass, plastic, or silicone cups on the skin to create suction, which is believed to enhance energy flow and facilitate healing. This practice has roots in ancient cultures, including Egyptian, Chinese, and Greek, and is recognized for its effectiveness in increasing circulation andoting tissue repair.

During a session, cups are strategically placed on areas of the body to lift the skin slightly. This suction:

• Stimulates blood flow to the area
• Enhances oxygenation and tissue delivery
• Helps flush out toxins
• Relieves muscle tension and pain

Cupping is known for leaving distinctive, temporary marks, often seen on athletes and celebrities, which indicate successful activation of the body’s healing processes.

Cupping is generally safe, with side effects limited to temporary bruising or discoloration. It’s important to consult with Dr. Ward to ensure it’s appropriate for your health needs, especially if you are on medication or have a medical condition.

Acupuncture is a profound healing art rooted in traditional Chinese medicine that dates back over 3,500 years. Dr. Randee Ward, with her extensive training and expertise in Chinese holistic therapies, masterfully applies this ancient practice to help our clients achieve optimal health and balance.
Acupuncture is a form of energy medicine that involves inserting fine needles at specific points on the body to manipulate the vital life force known as “qi.” This method helps to diagnose and treat illness by electromagnetically sending energetic information deep into the body through these strategically chosen points, acting as gates to restore balance and promote health.
Acupuncture is proven to:

• Promote Healing: Acupuncture offers a small electrical prompt to the body, encouraging it to return to homeostasis and restore natural balance.
• Release Blockages: By targeting areas where qi is blocked, acupuncture stimulates organ function and enhances overall health.
• Improve Circulation: Enhanced circulation through acupuncture improves bodily functions and system efficiency.
• Decrease Pain: Serving as a natural analgesic, acupuncture interrupts pain signals to the brain, offering relief without the use of pharmaceuticals.
• Balance Body Chemistry: It influences the body’s biochemical responses, adjusting neurochemical pathways and hormonal outputs.
• Reduce Inflammation: Acupuncture reduces proinflammatory markers in the body, helping to alleviate discomfort and swelling.

Acupuncture is a safe practice with minimal side effects, typically limited to slight bruising or discomfort at needle sites. Dr. Ward ensures a comfortable and clean environment, following strict protocols to provide safe and effective treatments.

In the realm of holistic and alternative therapies, a fascinating and increasingly explored field is frequency healing, often referred to as sound therapy or vibrational medicine. This approach recognizes that the human body is not only a complex biochemical system but also a dynamic orchestra of frequencies and vibrations. This expert paper delves into the concept of frequency healing and how sound can be harnessed to promote wellness and balance in the body.

Understanding Frequencies in the Body:

At its core, frequency healing is founded on the idea that every cell, tissue, and organ in the body emits specific vibrational frequencies. These frequencies are not limited to physical matter alone but extend to encompass the energetic and emotional aspects of human existence. In essence, we are beings of energy and resonance.

The Role of Sound:

Sound, as a form of energy, plays a pivotal role in this paradigm. Ancient healing traditions from various cultures, including Tibetan singing bowls, chanting, and Aboriginal didgeridoos, have long recognized the therapeutic potential of sound. In contemporary practice, this wisdom has evolved into a variety of techniques and tools, such as sound baths, binaural beats, and specialized instruments like crystal singing bowls and tuning forks.

How Frequency Healing Works:

Frequency healing operates on the principle of resonance. Each part of the body has its own natural vibrational frequency, and when it is in a state of health, it resonates in harmony. However, stress, illness, and emotional disturbances can disrupt this harmony, causing disharmonious frequencies to emerge. Frequency healing seeks to restore this balance by introducing specific vibrations or sounds that align with the body’s natural frequencies.

Benefits of Frequency Healing:

1. Stress Reduction: Sound therapy has been shown to induce deep relaxation, reducing stress and promoting a sense of calm. This, in turn, can have a positive impact on the immune system and overall well-being.
2. Pain Management: Certain sound frequencies can alleviate pain and discomfort. Patients undergoing procedures like dental work often report reduced pain perception when exposed to calming music or sounds.
3. Emotional Healing: Sound therapy can be a powerful tool for addressing emotional imbalances. It can help release trapped emotions, reduce anxiety, and enhance emotional resilience.
4. Enhanced Mind-Body Connection: Many individuals find that sound therapy deepens their meditation and mindfulness practices, fostering a stronger connection between the mind and body.
5. Improved Sleep: Sound therapy, particularly binaural beats and soothing melodies, can promote better sleep patterns by entraining the brain to desired states, such as relaxation or deep sleep.

Scientific Validation:

While the concept of frequency healing may sound esoteric, scientific research has begun to shed light on its efficacy. Studies have shown that sound therapy can influence brainwave patterns, induce relaxation responses, and even promote tissue regeneration.

Incorporating Frequency Healing into Wellness Practices:

Individuals interested in exploring frequency healing can do so in various ways:

1. Sound Baths: These immersive experiences involve lying down or sitting while a practitioner plays a variety of instruments. The vibrations from these instruments wash over participants, promoting relaxation and balance.
2. Listening to Music: Mindfully listening to calming music, binaural beats, or nature sounds can be a simple yet effective way to incorporate sound therapy into daily life.
3. Tuning Forks and Singing Bowls: Some people use tuning forks and singing bowls to create soothing vibrations that they apply to specific points on the body or around the energy field.
4. DIY Practices: For a more personal approach, individuals can explore chanting, humming, or singing themselves, which can have a therapeutic effect.

In conclusion, frequency healing, centered on the use of sound and vibrational medicine, offers a unique and increasingly recognized pathway to wellness. By understanding and harnessing the power of frequencies within the body, individuals can embark on a journey toward greater balance, harmony, and overall health. This holistic approach acknowledges the profound connection between the body, mind, and energy, inviting us to explore the healing potential of the sounds that surround us.

Dry needling, also known as Intramuscular Stimulation, is a pain-relieving technique that involves introducing a thin needle into the patient’s skin. This treatment’s goal is to reduce pain by deactivating trigger points and restoring the muscles’ function.

Traditionally referred to as Ashi acupuncture in Ancient Chinese medicine, Dry needling is similar to acupuncture. Dry needling consists of inserting a thin needle into a banded tight muscle that contains a trigger point. By directly stimulating the trigger point, the muscle “resets,” as it stimulates the production of natural analgesics the body produces and gets the muscle essentially out of pain naturally.

Before the treatment starts, Dr. Renee Ward will diagnose the areas and trigger points that should be treated and then will insert sterile and disposable needles into the trigger points or around them.

A trigger point is commonly referred to as a muscle knot, a small, bump-like area of muscle that can be painful to the touch. When a band in a muscle fiber becomes tight after a lousy movement, age, a sedentary lifestyle, or bad posture, it can cause pain, restrict the range of motion, and interrupt normal muscle function. If left untreated, these trigger points may get worse over time.

Dry needling works by stimulating these trigger areas with a very thin needle inserted in the tissue for seconds or minutes, depending on the severity of the “knot.” Once the area becomes stimulated, our body will naturally release its own “Pain killers” to the area, thus reducing the muscular pain.

Chiropractic care is used to treat disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the consequence of these disorders on general health. Our doctors treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including: back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

Chiropractic services are a drug-free, concrete approach to health care that incorporates a thorough examination, diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Russell and Dr. Ward have extensive indicative skills and are educated to advocate for therapeutic and rehabilitative movements as well as present other holistic approaches.

The most common therapeutic procedure performed by our doctors is “spinal manipulation,” also known as “chiropractic adjustment.” Our doctors use both non-forceful and traditional manipulation. The intention of manipulation is to re-establish joint mobility and apply by hand a controlled energy into joints that have become restricted in their movement as an outcome of a tissue injury. Whether the injury is caused by a single traumatic event – such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses – such as sitting in an uncomfortable position with poor posture for an extended period of time. Damaged tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for any individual. Fine-tuning of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.

Chiropractic adjustments rarely cause discomfort. However, patients may sometimes experience soft tenderness or soreness following treatment (as with most forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.

The Natural Healing Center doctor’s will assess patients through clinical examination, laboratory testing, diagnostic imaging and other diagnostic interventions to determine when chiropractic treatment is appropriate or when it is not appropriate.

Tired of running in circles with your healthcare professionals without getting better? Fed up with trying things that don’t work? The answer could be in your genes.

Recent advances in understanding human genetics have triggered a revolution in discovery-based research to help gain a better understanding of even the most complex biological systems like your brain. These advances hold tremendous promise when it comes to wellness, and have dramatically altered the way we think about and approach healthcare.

Coupled with new and affordable testing methods we can unlock your genetic code and empower your life. With personalized wellness-based treatments and preventative care, you can heal your chronic challenges and head-off potential disease.

Knowledge may be power, but ignorance is not bliss.

Science has proven that we can be set up for health challenges with gene mutations (also known as single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs). This in turn affects the way we respond to nutrition, medicine and exercise.
