The central premise of Visceral Manipulation is that interrelationship of structure and function among the internal organs is at least as strong as the musculoskeletal system. Restriction in mobility and motility compromises function possibly by interfering with lymph drainage and blood flow. Jean Pierre Barral, DO, Chairman of the Department of Visceral manipulation at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris du Nord, France, has perfected visceral manipulation techniques based on research and experience. Visceral manipulations restore the physiological motion of the liver, gall bladder, intestines, bladder and the female reproductive system.

In Greek “Ortho” means similar. Orthomolecular medicine utilizes molecules that naturally exist in our body (through consumption and metabolism) to restore proper balance. Dr. Linus Pauling is the father of Orthomolecular Medicine and was recipient of a Nobel Prize for his outstanding research. More and more research is being conducted in major universities, which validates the uses of therapeutic supplementation in the treatment and prevention of degenerative diseases.

The latest research findings in molecular biology show that intricate relationship between nutrients and gene expressions – much like when royal jelly is fed to a developing common bee and it transform into a queen bee 0 specific medical food can change the way a gene will be expressed.

Orthomolecular medicine analyses and restores proper levels of essential molecules such as amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Laboratory testing is extensively used to test for deficiencies as well as toxic levels of undesired molecules. This preventative, integrated approach targets cellular and tissue function throughout the whole body. Often therapeutic dosages are needed to obtain results. Preventative integrated care applies to all organs and all systems of the human body.

This will be better understood in the following pages, when our approach to each system is given.

When treating a patient, we are not only targeting an organ: We intent to improve cellular and tissue function everywhere.

Eating healthy, avoiding toxins, taking specific supplements, exercising, learning and appreciating life are all essential actions and behaviors which together will keep you healthy. Let us help you along the way!

As an integrated family practice, we believe all systems contribute to your optimum health.

Cardio-Vascular disease is the most prevalent silent killer in the western world today, but it is easily preventable. Receiving Preventative Cardio Vascular care is the most important step you can take. Blood tests can access your heart risk ratio and coagulation time to prevent strokes and myocardial infarctions.

The new “Angio Cat” CT scan will provide an accurate picture of your coronary arteries. EKG and Doppler study are available in our office.

If you are found to be at risk, you will follow a rigorous but non-invasive cardiac program.

Gastro intestinal dysfunctions are very prevalent in our society and are at the root of other diseases as well. Proper digestion and absorption of nutrients provide the foundation for good health. Laboratory tests (CDSA) are available to assess all digestive and metabolic markers, as well as the flora (pathogens or friendly bacteria). Balancing theses markers is essential in preventing and treating disorders ranging from mild to serious. Intestinal “restoration” is accomplished by eliminating unfriendly visitors, replenishing beneficial bacteria (probiotics) and restoring the intestinal mucosa with supplementation and diet modification.

We treat the following conditions:

Gall Bladder – Irritable Bowel – Crohn’s – Ulcerative Colitis – Chronic Constipation – Allergies / Intolerances – Infections / Imbalanced Flora

Dr. Arash Mohrdar has developed five very effective Homeopathic creams for dermatological conditions:

These Homeopathic creams produce remarkable results on the skin. In addition, we recommend our dermatology patients to follow a treatment targeting the liver.

All skin conditions, with the exception of infectious diseases, are a manifestation of an underlying liver condition. Homeopathy and Integrated Medicine combined prove a fast and permanent approach to dermatological disorders.

Dr. Wellhausen has developed a natural and specific approach to different female disorders. She combines the latest non-invasive laboratory and imaging diagnostic tests with a comprehensive treatment approach, which includes Clinical Nutrition, Homeopathy, and specific uterine manipulation. Scars from abscesses or surgery, as well as micro adhesions from infectious processes, disrupt the motion of the reproductive organs and can interfere with ovulation, fertilization and implantation. Internal manipulation of the reproductive organs gives its best results with endometriosis (prolonged and painful bleeding). Dr. Wellhausen has helped her patients avoid hysterectomies and helped them to return to normal painless cycles. She has also been able to reverse abnormal Pep smear within a three-months treatment program!

Abnormal Pap Smears – Endometrioses – PMS – Painful Intercourse – Candida – Uterine Fibroids / Ovarian Cysts – Hormonal Imbalances / Menopausal Symptoms

Allergies from inhalants or food exhibit immediate (IgE mediated) or delayed (IgG, IgM, IgA) symptoms that can affect the whole system. Food intolerances tend to cause digestive disruption only. Allergies play a role in the following conditions:

Asthma* – Recurrent Upper Respiratory Infections: Sinus-Ear-Throat-Bronchitis -Gastrointestinal Disorders: Irritable Bowel, Ulcerative colitis, Chron’s – Autoimmune Diseases: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis – Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – Migraines – Skin Rashes, Eczema

Food Allergies can cause delayed symptoms and are seldom suspected by the patients. No recovery is possible in the above mentioned disorders, if the offending foods are not identified. Specific blood tests are followed by a six-week elimination / rotation diet.

Although asthma is classified under the “allergy family”, it has become so rampant that special emphasis ought to be made for this dreadful condition, which starts in infancy and can continue into adulthood.

Countless patients have left their inhalers behind and are now enjoying clear breathing.

The asthmatic patient is helped by:

As Chiropractors, we specialize in musculoskeletal disorders, whether they are caused from trauma or are secondary to autoimmune arthritic disorders. We give specific and gentle adjustments to the spine and extremities and provide rehabilitation after trauma or surgeries as well.

This disorder is diagnosed by elimination when all other possible disorders have been excluded. The symptoms include:

Chronic fatigue syndrome targets the immune system by interfering with liver detoxification. The patient becomes more sensitive to foods, chemicals and hormonal imbalances.

Our treatment approach consists of removing offensive foods / inhalants, supporting the liver detoxification pathways, as well as helping in the fight against opportunistic infections. Laboratory testing, such as a CDSA stool test and a cytotoxic test (food allergies-intolerance) is recommended. Supplementation dosages are given according to physical examination and laboratory findings. Treatment includes and individualized hypoallergenic diet, intestinal restoration and strengthening of the immune system. New desensitization techniques are implemented and patients can then slowly broaden their diet.
