Relieving pain is our mission

 We do this by using gentle chiropractic adjustments, cold laser therapy, far infrared sauna, acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and natural supplements designed to speed your healing process.

What we put in our bodies does matter, and someitmes gettting rid of pain can be accomplished by improving the health of our whole body. 

Food allergies are one area we investigate when it comes to chronic pain.

Do you need to go Gluten Free?

Years of digestive health problems? Hormonal imbalances? IBS? Nerve pain and numbness? Constant muscle pain? Chronic skin conditions? Consult with Dr. Anschutz and find out if food allergy testing may give you the solution you have been looking for. We perform food allergy testing with Alletess and Alcat labs.

Functional Medicine Signs and Symptoms Analysis

This questionnaire from the field of Functional Medicine is designed to inventory the major body systems looking for signs of "dis" ease. Like the old song says "your leg bones connected to your hip bone" so is everything from your digestive tract connected to your thyroid and your adrenals connected to your sex hormones. This inventory grades the severity of your symptoms in each system and prioritizes them for healing purposes. It also directs special testing and nutritional approaches that work to heal the body in a natural progression. This initial consultation takes about an hour and costs $60 and gives you a plan for treatment or other testing to find the source of your problems.

Hyperbaric Oxygen is the HOT TOPIC

Hyperbaric has been touted by Dr. Oz on the Oprah show as the latest in restorative health. Jenny McCarthy and her son have seen what it can do for the body and the mind and talked about it on the Ellen Show.  This is the summer to take action and get a new start to next school year. Call for a free HBOT consult. 

How we help patients with Fibromyalgia

The body has one main way to deal with illness, and that is through inflamation. What causes that inflamation could be any of a number of situations including: infections, allergic reactions, toxins, hormonal imbalances, nutritional imbalances, and stress. 

Dr. Anschutz finds your cause through in depth questions and testing to locate the problem and then applies specific natural therapies to support the body in fixing the problem. She starts by addressing gastrointestinal dysfunction, including candida and other infections, food allergies and leaky gut.  Advanced testing is used to pinpoint your issues. Then we support the detoxification process through specific testing of liver function, and support of specific pathways. 

Thyroid, Adrenal and hormone function can be tested with profiles that specifically address your needs.  If indicated, Dr. Anschutz can guide and assist you in the use of bio-identical progesterone and nutritional supplements to support hormone production.
