Test Components

1. MTHFR (Methylentetrahydrofolate reductase) – Approximately 10% of the Caucasian and Asian populations have polymorphisms resulting in 70% diminished function of MTHFR. Approximately 40% of the population has a single genetic mutation resulting in suboptimal function of MTHFR. Sufficient levels of MTHFR enzyme are essential to the proper functioning of biochemical processes in the body.    

2. MTR (5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase) – The MTR gene encodes the methionine synthase (MS) enzyme, which converts homocysteine to methionine through vitamin B12. Mutations in this gene result in higher homocysteine levels, disrupting the balance of methionine and homocysteine in the body.

3. MTRR (5-methyltretrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase reductase) – The MTRR gene encodes the enzyme methionine synthase reductase (MSR). MSR supports the conversion of homocysteine to methionine by activating the MS enzyme. Mutation in the MTRR with the MTHFR gene is common, resulting in higher plasma homocysteine levels and increased DNA damage. 

4. COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) – COMT is an enzyme essential for the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe) to MSR. Polymorphisms in the COMT gene are associated with impaired DNA methylation, impaired neurotransmitter metabolism, decreased drug metabolism, and decreased detoxification, resulting in an increased chance of developing chronic conditions and some forms of cancer. 

5. AHCY (S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase) – AHCY encodes an enzyme called S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase. Polymorphisms in this gene alter the activity and expression of this enzyme, resulting in poor methylation potential, severe myopathies, developmental delays, and hypermethioninemia. 

• Cardiovascular Diseases: hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke
• Neurological Disorders: depression, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, ADD/ADHD, ASD, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine, insomnia
• Metabolic Conditions: metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, kidney diseases, reduced ability to metabolize medications, multiple chemical sensitivity
• Musculoskeletal Disorders: osteoporosis
• Eye Diseases: macular degeneration
• Cancer: colorectal, breast, and others

 Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body has more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These pathways create an energy flow (Qi, pronounced “chee”) through the body that is responsible for overall health. Disruption of the energy flow can cause disease. By applying acupuncture to certain points, it is thought to improve the flow of Qi, thereby improving health.

Salt therapy has its origins from the salt mines and caves of Eastern Europe. Modern dry salt therapy has its origins from the salt mines and caves in Europe and Russia. As the workers were mining the salt (through chiseling, grinding and hammering at the salt), micro-sized salt particles were being disbursed into the air… Read More

MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage calms the nervous system and promotes a sense of relaxation and well being. It reduces tension and anxiety, and it can also improve blood circulation, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells. We offer different massage to best fit your needs. 

Therapeutic massage uses mechanical pressure to decrease tissue adhesion. Mobilizing and elongating decreased or adherent connective cells may increase muscle-tendon compliance.

Biomechanically, dynamic passive stiffness, strong active stiffness, and stationary joint end range of motion are used to determine muscle-tendon unit conformity.

Massage can reduce stress, increase relaxation, reduce pain and muscular soreness and tension, improve circulation, energy, and alertness, decrease blood pressure and heart rate, and enhance immunological function.

Different physiological mechanisms are used in massage, which provides benefits to the body.  Stress hormone cortisol may be reduced by getting a massage, and the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine can be increased, which are known to help regulate your mood. For people who suffer from sleeplessness due to menopause or congestive heart failure, massage treatment can help.

IV THERAPIES

IV therapy is one of the most exciting wellness treatments that’ll replenish your body with hydration and nutrients, increase energy levels, slow the signs of aging, improve muscle recovery, and boost stamina.

IV Therapies usuallytakes about 45 minutes to some hours depending on which hydration therapy you are getting. The effects of the IV hydration therapy can be seen within a few minutes to hours. The additional supplements added will start working with your body right away to maximize your desired outcome at an excellerated rate. 

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Physical therapy, sometimes referred to as “PT”, is an area of rehabilitative health care that utilizes special exercises and equipment to help patients regain or improve their physical function and mobility.

Our PT will design and supervise individualized conditioning programs to help their patients diminish their pain; improve muscle strength and flexibility; and improve balance, posture and coordination to make performing daily tasks, and desired activities easy and achievable. During physical therapy, physical therapists also teach their clients how to prevent future injuries and design home programs.

Physical therapy is designed to help people of all ages who are experiencing pain or have limited mobility due to injury, athletic injuries, work injuries, disease or post-operative limitations and aging. There are many types of patients who can benefit from Physical Therapy.
