What Happens During a Treatment
During treatment, we apply gentle pressure to specific points along the spine that correspond with the organ systems involved in a reaction.
During the point stimulation process, a digital representation of the offending substance is introduced to the skin’s surface through an arm cuff. By stimulating specific points, stress on the affected organ system can be reduced. Since the point stimulation and the substance exposure occur simultaneously, the body can form a new association with the item due to the decreased stress on the systems, no longer perceiving the substance as harmful and allowing for a more appropriate response.
In the world of holistic medicine, there’s a common understanding that treating the whole body is crucial to achieving optimal health. It is believed that various forms of stress and interference can disrupt the proper functioning of the body, leading to health issues. By reducing stress and interference, we can support the specific organ system and help the body respond more effectively. Ultimately, this approach allows for optimal health and wellness.
We do not diagnose allergies, sensitivities or intolerances.
We do not test for allergies or sensitivities. We simply assess what may be causing a stress to the body.
We do not cure allergies, nor does the therapy treat the immune system.
We provide a highly effective treatment that provides long-term relief from symptoms associated with allergies or sensitivities.
We do not treat cases of anaphylaxis or life-threatening symptoms. Strict avoidance is always advised in these cases.
FAQs
-
Symptoms associated with a single substance are often improved or relieved after just 24 hours. Many conditions, such as sinusitis or irritable bowel syndrome, respond within the first few treatments. However, each case is unique and may require additional treatments. As with all healthcare modalities, some cases may not respond to treatment.

Yes! We can get excellent results with seasonal symptoms. Symptoms associated with allergies can manifest during different seasons, depending on the specific type of pollen to which an individual reacts and the time of year.
Spring-trees
Summer-grasses
Fall-weeds
Seasonal allergies may cause common symptoms such as runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, congestion, headaches, fatigue, and coughing.
-
Yes! We can achieve excellent results in treating chronic sinusitis. Allergies often contribute to persistent inflammation of the sinuses and mucus lining, increasing susceptibility to sinus issues and chronic sinusitis. Common triggers include: dust, molds, fungus, pets, fragrances, and environmental allergens.
-
Yes! Hidden food allergies and sensitivities often play a role in the development and exacerbation of IBS. The primary medical treatment typically involves dietary modification and avoiding offending foods, which can be very challenging, and many people continue to suffer from symptoms. We can directly address these symptoms through treating common triggers which include: dairy, wheat, sugar, yeast, salicylates, corn, soy and various food components.
-
We can treat many irritants contributing to asthmatic symptoms. Allergy-induced asthma symptoms are very common and respond well to treatment. Common triggers of asthma include: molds, dust, dust mites, pet dander, grass, pollens, fragrances, and chemicals.
However, exercise induced asthma can be difficult to treat with this approach as it does not stem from an error.
-
Yes! We can be highly effective for many skin conditions and symptoms arising from allergies and sensitivities. If sensitivities are contributing to the condition, we can provide significant relief. However, in more severe cases, other factors may be involved, resulting in only partial improvements. Skin conditions that have shown improvement with this treatment approach include urticaria (hives), eczema, contact dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis.
Common triggers for skin symptoms include: foods, nickel, pet dander, fragrances, grass, and chemicals found in personal care products
-
Yes, we can achieve excellent results in alleviating acid reflux symptoms. Acid reflux can occur at any time but is often experienced after a meal. Medications for acid reflux are among the top sellers, alongside allergy medications. With so many cases, we can effectively address the underlying triggers which include: spicy foods, onions, citrus, tomatoes, fatty or fried foods, alcohol, and carbonated beverages.
-
Absolutely! We can achieve excellent results in alleviating the various symptoms caused by food sensitivities. These sensitivities are widespread and can contribute to a broad spectrum of issues, including digestive, respiratory, skin, headaches, behavioral problems, and inflammation. Common triggers for food sensitivities include: dairy, sugar, wheat, soy, corn, nuts, food components, food additives, alcohol and coffee.
-
We treat one allergen family at a time, so the number of treatments depends on the number of allergen families involved in the reaction. However, within each allergen family, the specificity is identified down to the protein molecule, making each treatment extremely comprehensive.
For instance, an allergen family could be something like dust, dairy or grasses. Within each of these allergen families, we strive to identify all the components within the item that is causing a reaction, resulting in an exceptional and results-driven treatment.
Most of the time, a single allergen family will respond to treatment within a single visit, but it may require multiple visits per family. Conditions such as chronic sinusitis or IBS typically require between 5 and 12 treatments, depending on how many allergen families are contributing to the condition.
-
All ages may be treated, including infants.
-
Following a session, you should avoid the substance that was treated for 2 hours, if possible. Depending on the item addressed, avoidance is not always possible. It is recommended to not have excessive contact with the item until the following day.
-
The initial session is $225, which includes an assessment and one treatment and will last anywhere from 1- 1 1/2 hours.
Follow up treatments are $110, and last between 30-45 minutes.
-
Up to two treatments can be administered per day, with a minimum of 2 hours between treatments.
-
Treatments are not covered by insurance as there are no diagnostic codes for treatment. Services may be eligible for coverage through HSA or FSA accounts, depending on the particular policy.

-
No. You do not need to stop taking medication that has been prescribed by a medical doctor without his/her authorization. You may continue taking over the counter medication to control current symptoms, as this will not affect the treatment.
-
We do not offer any conventional allergy testing; however, you are encouraged to bring in allergy testing from your physicians.
-
No. We do not require traditional allergy testing before treatment. However, if you have had allergy testing done by your doctor, please bring the test results to your appointment.
-
We utilize a specialized stress assessment, a refined form of Muscle Response Testing (MRT), to determine if any system in the body is responding inappropriately to a specific substance. This assessment quickly and easily identifies which items are causing stress on the body, allowing practitioners to determine what needs to be addressed for the patient.
-
People who have experienced this type of treatment have consistently reported long-term results lasting for years after treatment. However, we cannot guarantee that new allergies or sensitivities won’t develop in the future. In most cases, the results have proven to be long-lasting.
-
While we cannot offer guarantees, most of our patients experience long-term positive responses to treatment. However, we cannot guarantee that new symptoms will not develop in the future.
-
No, true food intolerances cannot be treated. Unlike allergies or sensitivities, food intolerances are often caused by an enzyme deficiency that prevents proper digestion of certain substances. Such cases are not addressed by the treatment. However, many people believe they have an intolerance which may be an allergy or sensitivity instead, and is able to respond well to this treatment. We would be happy to discuss your personal situation prior to scheduling an appointment if you’re unsure whether you could benefit.
-
No, we do not treat conditions involving anaphylactic reactions. However, patients who experience anaphylactic reactions can be treated for other non-life-threatening sensitivities.
-
Pathogen-induced conditions: We can only address symptoms or conditions caused by inappropriate reactions to harmless substances or stimuli. If a symptom or condition is caused by a pathogen (bacteria, viruses, or parasites), treatment will not be effective.
Intolerances: An intolerance is different from an allergy or sensitivity as it results from a deficiency, not an inappropriate reaction. For example, lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of the lactase enzyme needed to break down lactose in dairy. While we cannot treat lactose intolerance, our treatment can be very effective for symptoms related to dairy sensitivity. In cases where lactose intolerance and dairy sensitivity coexist, treatment can offer partial benefit.
Anaphylaxis: We cannot treat anaphylaxis or life-threatening symptoms. In these cases, strict avoidance is always advised.
While we can treat many symptoms associated with allergies or sensitivities, some cases may not respond to treatment.
