Acupuncture

• The needles most often used for Acupuncture are as thin as your hair and about an inch long. The stainless steel needles are used only once and are sterile. Acupuncture is a form of holistic medicine that has been used in China for centuries. The Chinese believe that illness and pain occur when the body's qi or energy flow becomes stuck or stagnant. An acupuncturist will insert very fine, disposable needles into specific points in the body to alter the flow of qi and return the body to a state of balance or health. Beverly Hills Posture may use acupuncture to treat a number of disorders, including:
• Neurological disorders, such as neuralgia, insomnia, dizziness, post-stroke recovery, facial palsy, trigeminal neuralgias

• Gastrointestinal disorders, such as food allergies, ulcers, chronic diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, GI weakness, gastritis, anorexia, nausea

Chiropractic Care

• Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts that specializes in non-surgical spine care. Treatment involves manual manipulation of the spine, joints and soft tissues and is based upon the principle that the body can heal itself when the skeletal system is correctly aligned and the nervous system is functioning properly. When the bones of the spine are not correctly articulated, referred to as a subluxation, nerve transmission is disrupted and it is this condition that leads to pain in the back, neck, and other areas. Services offered:
• Assess disorders by discussion
  Observation and examination of patients as well as the use of of diagnostic equipment such as x-rays and a linked device that uses harmonic frequencies to detect spinal misalignments.

• Restoration of proper joint motion
  Alignment of the spine and skeletal system and normal muscle length and tone through myotherapy and chiropractic techniques, Class IV laser therapy, nutrition and exercise.

• Treatment for Neuro-muscular skeletal disorders.

• Spinal manipulation for acute lower back pain, neck pain and musculoskeletal pain, herniated disc, scoliosis, and vertebral subluxation complex.

• Reduce physical interference to the nervous system
  Which may be causing pain, impairment of normal function or lowered resistance to disease through stretching, traction and slow manipulation.

• Treatment for
  Treatment for allergy, high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, diabetes, menstrual irregularities, dizziness, headache, migraines, pneumonia, issues related to pregnancy and infertility, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and repetitive stress disorders, hyperactivity, indigestion and nutritional disorders.
