- Hair Analysis can show the last 3 months of your mineral levels in your hair. This is a great tool to check mineral imbalances that might be causing some health conditions.
Mineral Blueprint. Providing a mineral blueprint of one’s biochemistry, a hair tissue mineral analysis can provide pertinent information about your metabolic rate, energy levels, sugar and carbohydrate tolerance, stage of stress, immune system and glandular activity.
A hair tissue mineral analysis performed by Analytical Research Labs, Inc., is a screening test for the level of 20 minerals and toxic metals in a sample of hair. It is a tissue mineral biopsy that is non-invasive, relatively inexpensive and extremely accurate. Our laboratory uses only the most advanced and sophisticated instrumentation available today, the Perkin Elmer Elan 9000 ICP Mass Spectrometer to assess mineral levels in parts per million or parts per billion.
A hair tissue mineral analysis is considered a standard test used around the world for the biological monitoring of trace elements and toxic metals in humans and animals species. The same technology is used for soil testing and testing of rock samples to detect mineral levels.
Hair, like all other body tissues, contains minerals that are deposited as the hair grows. Although the hair is dead, the minerals remain as the hair continues to grow out. A sample of hair cut close to the scalp provides information about the mineral activity in the hair that took place over the past three to four months, depending on the rate of hair growth.
- Spinal Decompression Therapy is a non-drug, non-surgical, FDA approved treatment that helps reduce or eliminate painful herniated, degenerated and bulging discs in the lower back and neck.
Spinal Decompression Therapy can effectively treat:
- Bulging Disc
- Herniated Disc
- Back Pain
- Neck Pain
- Muscle Tension Headaches
- Degenerative Disc Disease
- Sciatica
"Serial MRI of 20 patients treated with the decompression table shows in our study up to 90% reduction of subligamentous nucleus herniation in 10 of 14. Some rehydration occurs detected by T2 and proton density signal increase. Torn annulus repair is seen in all."

"Eighty-six percent of ruptured intervertebral disc (RID) patients achieved 'good' (50-89% improvement) to 'excellent' (90-100% improvement) results with decompression. Sciatica and back pain were relieved." "Of the facet arthrosis patients, 75% obtained 'good' to 'excellent' results with decompression."

"Results showed that 86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy reported immediate resolution of symptoms, while 84% remained pain-free 90 days post-treatment. Physical examination findings showed improvement in 92% of the 219 patients, and remained intact in 89% of these patients 90 days after treatment."

Spinal Decompression Therapy "...allowed imbibition and complete reduction of the visualized herniation."
"Spinal decompression therapy provided an effective means of treatment for this patient's symptoms resulting from discal herniation (extrusion) with associated impingement of the adjacent nerve root."
"MR imaging proved to be a useful and non-invasive technique in monitoring the efficacy of decompression therapy as it applies to this case."
"Decompression of the spine proved to be superior to the other forms of conservative care when applied to our patient. The patients' results were both subjectively favorable and objectively quantified."

e. The Erchonia Cold Laser can be used in conjunction with spinal manipulation and other therapies, or it can be used as the primary treatment. Low level laser therapy can be used in the treatment of the following conditions:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tennis Elbow, Golfer's Elbow, Plantar Fasciitis, Bursitis, and other inflammatory conditions
- Sprains, strains, trigger points, contusions, muscle ruptures, and other muscle and tendon disorders
- Chronic pain associated with the neck, mid back, low back, and fibromyalgia
- Arthritis and other joint conditions
- Neuropathies, headaches, and other neurological conditions or disorders
- Increases the speed, quality and strength of tissue repair
- Increases blood supply, Stimulates the immune system, Stimulates nerve function, Develops collagen and muscle tissue, Helps generate new and healthy cells and tissue, Promotes faster wound healing and clot formation
- Reduces inflammation
Cold Laser Therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment. Each treatment ranges anywhere from a few minutes to 30 minutes, depending on the nature of the condition. Regular treatments are ideal for proper treatment and healing. The number of treatments varies with each condition. Low level laser therapy is considered to be one of the safest treatments available today. Low Frequency Cold Laser is cutting edge technology that is painless, sterile, has no undesirable side effects, and are much more affordable than surgery.
