The Doctor's Approach …

Dr. Jane Richards' goal is to help her patients achieve balance   in their physical body, emotions and body chemistry. She accomplishes this goal by listening to her patients, learning about them and helping to discover solutions to their pain or problems using the following techniques: 

Chiropractic Therapy
Acupuncture
Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET)
Allergy Testing and Desensitizing
Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA)
Essential Oils / Aroma Therapy
Hormone Testing
Hair Analysis
Feng Shui
All people are unique, each situation is different,  and a variety of techniques may be used on any one patient.  Solving a person’s complaint can be  like peeling an onion and may reveal other underlying issues.  For example, a complaint of indigestion might indicate the need for Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA) to diagnose body chemistry deficiencies, which could lead to a recommendation for vitamin supplements.  Additionally, acupuncture might be used to strengthen the digestive tract, and/or chiropractic used to normalize the functioning of the nervous system, which controls digestion.

Testing is safe, painless and fast …
Dr. Richards has a number of methods for testing her patient to determine their proper treatment.  Her methods are safe, painless and quick. To begin she will ask about your medical history and do a physical exam.  She may also use muscle testing, a proven way of discerning information about a patient’s condition. This involves testing a strong muscle while touching reflex points on the body.  If a strong muscle goes weak during testing, it is an indication of a malfunction.  Muscle testing can be done on infants, the elderly, the disabled and even animals. This is accomplished by using a surrogate person’s arm while they are touching the patient. 

Dr. Richards may also use hair, saliva or blood samples to get more accurate information about a person’s health status.  Hair and saliva samples would be collected at home by the patient and sent to a lab.  Blood would be taken at a local medical lab.
 

Afraid of Acupuncture?  
Dr. Jane has alternatives for patients who have a fear of needles but may benefit from acupuncture. Her policy is to always make her patients as comfortable as possible and keep them informed during testing and treatments.  This helps to instill the strong patient-doctor rapport, which she and her patients enjoy.

Most treatments are covered by your chiropractic insurance.
