Holistic Detoxification
The IonCleanse by AMD foot bath is a holistic detox solution that provides a comprehensive detoxification process. During the therapy session and for several days afterward, the treatment releases mobilized toxins into the body’s waste system. This patented program utilizes water electrolysis to generate negative and positive ions, effectively mobilizing both positively and negatively charged toxins stored throughout the body. According to AMD’s Heavy Metal Study by Genova Diagnostics, substantial heavy metal excretion occurs over five days following the foot bath. To promote proactive health through diet, exercise, and detoxification, the IonCleanse by AMD Ionic detox foot bath plays a pivotal role in this holistic approach.
The Many Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be used to help with symptom relief from a variety of health conditions. Some examples include: 1) Musculoskeletal pain – acupuncture can help with all kinds of musculoskeletal pain, including spastic or painful muscle from trauma, as well as joint pain, sciatica, and tendonitis. 2) Hormone imbalance – acupuncture may decrease symptoms related to infertility, menstruation, and menopause by assisting with hormone balance restoration. 3) Mood disorders – acupuncture can be an effective way to cope with depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. 4) Sleep disorders – acupuncture can help with insomnia, snoring, and sleep apnea.
Fix Your Tech Neck
One of the most common postural issues we see in the office is forward head carriage (FHC). You may have also heard it referred to as text neck, tech neck, iHunch, forward head posture, or dowager’s hump. This nasty habitual neck posture has been steadily rising due to our smartphone addiction and computer use. It is a postural issue that many people do not know that they have! Over time, this condition can lead to muscle imbalances as the body adapts to hold the head up straight. Every inch your head goes forward adds 10lbs of stress and pressure to your spine.
