Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a complete healthcare tradition originating in China that dates back 4000 years, yet remains effective today as a means of strengthening the body rather than merely treating symptoms. Chinese medicine focuses on building the body's own vital energy (Chi) so the body can heal itself.

TCM is based on a simple and profound philosophy of balance, stemming from the yin and yang energies. The yin and yang represent a state of interdependence and continual movement, which create a state of balance. These two forces are reflected in the harmony of black and white, day and night, hot and cold, passive and active, dry and wet, and so on. Accordingly, when we are balanced, health and wellbeing exist. When we are out of balance, illnesses or disease can manifest.

Although TCM uses many approaches including diet, meditation or mind exercise, spinal manipulation and its cornerstones are acupuncture and herbal medicine. The Mladenoff Clinic integrates Chinese medicine as an essential component of wellness care because at its core is the perspective of disease prevention and living a balanced life.

AK involves the art and science of muscle testing. The word kinesiology comes from the words "kinesis" meaning movement and from "logos" meaning to study. It literally means the study of movement.

During the examination some muscles will test "strong" and others will test "weak". The chiropractor skilled in applied kinesiology may realize that the "weakness" found in the muscle test may not only indicate poor muscle function, but possibly a connection with organ function, nutritional issues, issues with the acupuncture meridian, lymphatic drainage issues or vascular issues.

The kinesiologist understands that certain patterns of muscle weakness give clues to the body's function. Each muscle, for example, can be tested to give an indication of how a specific organ is functioning. A television set and a lamp plugged into the same circuit can both malfunction together. If the television has a short in it, it can overload the circuit breaker, denying power to the lamp, causing it to go out. Think of the television as being analogous to the organ. The circuit breaker is analogous to the nervous system (spinal nerve and spinal cord). The lamp is analogous to the muscle. A skilled applied kinesiologist can use muscle testing and relationships like those between muscles and organs to aid in diagnosis and treatment.        

Muscle imbalance causes structural strain. It can result in muscle spasm, joint pain, poor sports performance, a tendency for injury, or even systemic health problems. Structural stress can affect the nervous system, affecting every organ and system in the body. Muscles not only move bones, they hold the skeletal system in place. There is a dynamic tension in the musculoskeletal system.

Housed within the mitochondria, the cell energy manufacturer, are receptors capable of absorbing distinct parameters of light.Think of these receptors like any drug receptors. When we consume a prescription medication, the compound is absorbed by the body and it locates a particular receptor; based upon its molecular design, will bind to that receptor. Once the drug binds, a secondary reaction inside the cell takes place. A similar mechanism is observed when exposing the body to a particular color of light. During a laser treatment, the light will penetrate the skin and is absorbed by this receptor within the mitochondria. Receptor stimulation with light promotes energy production, biochemical reactions, protein and growth factor synthesis, cell growth and proliferation and enhanced blood and oxygen flow.

A key to health is to rid the body of toxins. The body naturally rids itself of harmful toxins through a process called biodetoxification. Unfortunately, in our society the body is overwhelmed by a great number of toxins found in air, water, and the food we eat. We offer a variety of methods for detoxification that fit your lifestyle.We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborative effort between our professionals and our patients.

Nutritional Biochemical Balance is the key to wellness. Based on the reality that the soil is depleted of its minerals, food can no longer be relied upon to maintain this balance. It is essential that a nutritional and homeopathic evaluation be performed based upon an individual's blood, hormone, and neural transmitter's tests, along with an analysis of the lifestyle stressors and family history.zyto2.jpg

A proper Nutritional Program can boost our Immune System, help alleviate chronic fatigue, weakness, pain, imbalanced or declining hormones, resistant weight gain, and act as a support for medical care of disease. The results can be that one looks younger, feels younger, has increased energy, and lives longer.

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you. Dr. Evan Mladenoff can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.
