Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient system of healing. It stimulates certain meridian points on the body with fine acupuncture needles, which unblock energetic pathway channels. This stimulation helps restore the normal balance of the body system to reduce pain and help harmonize bodily functions. Acupuncture treats a wide variety of disorders.

Acupuncture may help with the following: Allergy relief, Back pain, Fatigue, Immune system, High blood pressure, Bronchial conditions, Infertility, Stress management, TMJ pain, Headaches/migraines, Smoking cessation, Insomnia, Carpal tunnel, knee and joint pain and
many other symptoms. If acupuncture is used with other modalities such as: Reiki, Chakra Balancing, Flower Essence, Raindrop Therapy, or Meridian Resonance Technique, acupuncture will reinforce their effect.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy is a method used to track the symptoms of menopause, and other hormonal imbalances. It is also another beneficial way of distributing the correct amount of hormones for each individual woman’s needs.

Dr. Margaret Mitchell is an expert in the use of ancient medicine practiced in India known as Ayur Veda, and the use of botanicals and herb replacement of estrogen, progesterone, as well as the use of Bioidentical hormones for menopause related issues.

Bioidentical hormones are manufactured to have the same molecular structure as the hormones made by your own body. Bioidentical Hormones are natural and our bodies can metabolize them as it was designed to do. This minimizes any possible side effects. Drug companies can’t make a bioidentical hormone structure, so they invent synthetic hormones which are too strong and can produce side effects.

Perimenopause and menopause is a natural part of a later stage in a woman’s hormonal progression and is not an illness. Symptoms such as: irregular menstruation, night sweats, vaginal dryness and insomnia are a way of letting the body know that there are hormonal imbalances or metabolic damage from stress, poor nutrition and other factors.

Our Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy helps your body to balance and support hormone production with multiple forms of nutrition, supplementation and various other modalities.

Holistic Nutrition Counseling

We offer one on one holistic nutrition counseling sessions and nutritional supplementation that can help you to develop long-term habits that support your optimal health and wellness.

“Nutrition is how our life is nurtured mentally, physically, spiritually,” said Dr. Bernard Jensen. Clients of a holistic nutrition practice are asked to pay specific attention not only to the foods they eat and how they affect the body; but also the quality of the food, how it is eaten, the time of day, and in what combinations. One’s environment, lifestyle and frame of mind are also considered as a part of the entire picture of wellness.

We’ll individualize our recommendations to you based on your nutritional, dietary, medical and family histories. You’ll learn specific strategies to adopt these recommendations so that you feel empowered to include them as part of your everyday life. You will also receive personalized attention focusing on the achievement of your goals along with a complete nutrition assessment and plan development.

This holistic and alternative approach to health deals with the whole person who is experiencing life in sub-optimal conditions instead of just focusing on the manifestations of nutrient deficiencies.

Holistic Therapy

The term “holistic therapy” is a term that covers an incredibly wide range of treatments, massages and therapies. Holistic therapies in essence, however, share a basic philosophy of treating the mind, body and spirit as one entity as opposed to just concentrating on specific parts of your physical being as is generally practiced in traditional Western medicine.

With holistic therapy, sometimes known as complementary or alternative medicine, there is an emphasis on using natural methods to restore the body’s balance and improving overall well being. Rather than pump you full of chemicals, holistic services aim to use what exists in nature to help you build up the defense systems and your own ability to self heal. This can include taking extracts from plants and utilizing natural essences as with homeopathy. Essential oil use is based on the idea that our sense of smell has a powerful impact on our emotional, mental, and physical health. Color therapy and crystal healing uses light energy and the different properties of color stones for physical and psychological change. Chakra balancing puts you in touch with your emotional and spiritual subconscious while meditation is spiritual relaxation for the mind. Reiki is another very popular form of treatment for physical, emotional and spiritual releases whereas acupuncture uses physical pressure to unblock energy flow.

The list of possibilities goes on but many draw on ancient Chinese or Japanese spiritual beliefs about the connections between the physical, mental and spiritual forms of our existence. This philosophy has an emphasis on improving overall health as well as preventing future illness. All aspects of your life are taken into consideration including lifestyle, diet, habits and the impact of psychological and emotional stress. The underlying idea being that our mind has an influence on our body and vice versa.

Low Level Lasers

Low level lasers – a truly amazing health tool – have been used for over 30 years in many countries as therapeutic energy to bring about favorable biological effects in plants, animals and people.
Low level laser therapy has been proven completely safe in over 2000 worldwide studies. There are two low level lasers available that have been classified by Underwriters Laboratories as Class 1, Non-Significant Risk Devices; and two have recently received FDA approval for the treatment of pain.

Low level lasers are used everywhere in our society, such as bar code check out, laser printers, compact disc players and for many medical procedures. In fact, without lasers, our society and economy as we see it today would collapse.
How do low level lasers work?
Pain results from trauma and/or cellular disruption, malfunction, or less than optimal cellular function. Healing and pain relief come with cellular normalization. Photons enable cells to perform optimally by stimulating them to initiate bio-chemical reactions which produce enzymes and ATP (usable energy).

Lymphatic Therapy

The most underrated circulatory system in the human body is our lymphatic system. And, most health practitioners never consider the critical role lymph plays in preventing sickness or in keeping us healthy.

The lymph system is a vital circulatory system and the body’s primary immune defense and waste eliminator; it is critical to managing the elimination of toxins from our body. It contains over 600 collection sites called lymph nodes and has a network of collecting vessels, making it even more extensive than the venous system. When this system is blocked, we become defenseless against attacks by viruses, fungi and bacterium.

Detoxification, by re-establishing free lymphatic circulation throughout the body, is a vital part of any healing process. This detoxification process can be aided by using the Light Beam Generator. With the Light Beam Generator, lymphatic congestion and blockages are broken up and unobstructed lymphatic flow is re-established.

Thermography

Current research indicates that 1 in every 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer. For women in Western New York, that statistic is even higher.

At Healthy Transformations, we strive to educate our clients on ways to improve their health. As this philosophy pertains to breast health, we are excited to offer a technology that gives women the chance to obtain a risk assessment profile of the state of their breast health. Based on the health history the individual, combined with the findings of the highly sophisticated thermal imaging, the risk assessment profile is determined. From this information, a proactive protocol of diet and lifestyle changes can be recommended to reduce that risk.

The following explanation delineates the difference of mammography and thermography:

Breast Thermography is a breakthrough imaging procedure where infrared images of the breast are analyzed and rated to determine the risk of developing breast cancer. Thermography is non-invasive, safe and painless – no radiation or compression is used. The infrared imaging process allows you to see the range and amount of heat or thermal energy emitted from the body.

Structural tests, such as mammograms and ultrasound rely on finding physical lesions (anatomy), while breast thermography detects asymmetrical blood vessel circulation (physiology) within the breast. Thermography is based on the scientific premise that before the growth of abnormal cells can occur, an increased blood supply must be circulated to the growth area. Thermography measures the heat generated by the microcirculation of blood in the breast during this process.

Since there is no risk, it is safe for women of all ages. It is also beneficial in assessing risk in women who have dense or fibrocystic breasts for whom mammography can be a challenge.

The advantage of an early assessment of risk factors could be life-saving. Breast Thermography is one of the best early detection systems available today. When thermography is used as part of a multimodal approach including clinical examination and thermography, 95% of early-stage breast cancers can be detected.

Additionally, Thermography can be used to assess injury and inflammation that might otherwise go undetected. It is often used in conjunction with chiropractic, and in illustration of unresolved pain in a variety of conditions.
