Chiropractic, Nutrition

As an alternative health physician, it is my goal to equip patients with the tools and techniques to improve their health. The PSiO technology has been an integral part of my practice over the last year, allowing patients a passive way to initiate quiet mindfulness and relaxation and to promote restorative sleep. Most of our patients have complex medical histories and suffer from chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, and autonomic disorders. They have been exposed to energy medicine techniques in our practice, and are quite comfortable using technologies geared toward pain control, stress reduction, relaxation, and sleep. We utilize chiropractic, microcurrent therapy, massage, and neurofeedback in addition to diet, nutrition, and exercise therapies. We began implementing the use of the PSiO in conjunction with our current treatment modalities and have consistently found improved outcomes in our patients. Our recommendation is for daily use of the PSiO glasses. However, since our patients are utilizing a comboination of therapies, many have found relief from insomnia and reduced pain with weekly PSiO treatments. Others have found using the PSiO daily at home has provided better results with pain control, improved stamina, and restorative sleep. We have also documented a reduction of edema and improved circulation in the extremities of patients suffering from connective issue disorders and autonomic disorders.

Over the last 25 years in practice, I have seen a rise in sleep disorders, chronic pain, and illness. This rise has been even more significant with widespread and extensive use of cell phones, social media, and internet access. There has been a noticeable change in patients’ inability to disconnect from stress and perceived stressors; along with an increased send of urgency with message and email notifications. These constant notifications have removed any gaps in time which would normally allow the brain and nervous system to have a sense of peace, relaxation, and well-being. In addition, the production of stress hormones is increasing while the release of melatonin is decreasing in response to excessive use of devices emitting blue light late in the day. The population over 50 years old was blessed to be raised in generations where exercise and outside activity was promoted, when only three channels were available on television, and there was only one telephone in the house that was shared by the entire family. It afforded the opportunity for these critical gaps of time during the day to reduce the sense of fear, anxiety and urgency and reduced the need for immediate gratification. With older generations, I find it easier for them to relax with the PSiO and to achieve a state of true relaxation. While these adults are as attached to their devices as the younger generations, their brains have a memory of the times when total relaxation was achieved in their ounger years while their brains were still developing. With the increase of fear that the younger generations are experiencing, the constant exposures to worldwide events and the instant messages that they are being bombarded with, the need for technologies like PSiO are becoming essential for achieving and maintaining well-being. Most people are willing to devote fifteen to thirty minutes per day to relaxation techniques. The combined use of light and sound therapy along with double voices in the PSiO programs has quickly shifted even the most hypervigilant of our patients into a quiet mindful state. The benefits of the PSiO have been so profound that our patients have been able to consistent with the treatments. In addition, the restoration of high quality sleep has benefited them by giving them increased energy and vitality to follow through with dietary and exercise recommendations. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sleep may be as critical to good health as diet and exercise. Providing patients with th etools for success should be part of every health practitioners repertoire.

It is time to shift our mindset to utilize natural techniques for relaxation and sleep to lower the use of prescription pain and sleep medications. Patents should be encouraged to place a high value on disconnecting and restoring their health by caring for their mind, body and spirit. The PSiO technology, when used correctly, has great potential in optimizing a sense of well-being, ultimately achieving the goal of pain reduction, improved immune function and restorative sleep.
