Why Holistic Chiropractic Care?

Real Life Chiropractic | How We Treat Our Top Ailments

Millcreek UT Chiropractic

When it comes to energy healing, there are no set protocols or predictable outcomes with specific procedures; like an atom whose electrons disappear and reappear randomly within its atomic field. Echoing Dr. Bradley Nelson’s words in his book, The Emotion Code, energy medicine is like pealing away layers of an onion and may take a few visits. Some of us have lived for decades or have been through hard times. During those tough times, we may hold onto that negativity and carry it with us in times to come – causing us to have imbalances within the body. Here are our top ailments we see in our office, and what we may do to aid in making it go away, or at least decreasing the severity or frequency of it.

Chiropractic Techniques

Applied Kinesiology

Applied Kinesiology, founded by Dr. George Goodheart, uses the idea that our body responds to positive and negative energy. If something is positive for us our body is strengthened by it such as our immune system, organs and muscles. Whereas if something is negative for us our body is weakened in all areas as well as the muscles. This is the basis on how muscle testing works and through it we are able to access the subconscious mind to know what the real issue is.

Through this technique Dr. Josef Patterson has incorporated multiple energy healing modalities to work to identify the root cause of his patients problems.

Chiropractic (Diversified technique)

Even though Dr. Patterson has added variations of Activator Technique and Webster Technique to his style of adjusting, he primarily uses Diversified Technique.

Diversified Technique in adjusting utilizes “a short (low-amplitude), quick (high-velocity) thrust over restricted joints (one at a time) with the goal of restoring normal range of motion in the joint.” (See here).

Whatever your adjustment needs may be, we are your Millcreek Chiropractic Doctor.

Webster Technique

The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of subluxation and/or SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neuro- biomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region is improved. (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. About the Webster Technique - Click here.

The Webster Technique does not claim to treat the growing baby in the womb or to treat or attempt to “flip” breech babies. If there are concerns about the baby, the mother ought to consult with her Obstetrician.

Emotion Code

The Emotion Code was founded by Dr. Bradley Nelson who, with the help of Chinese Medicine, developed this technique as a means to clear emotional baggage. Everyone can relate to the fact that we sometimes hold onto different emotions at different times and even carry them with us throughout our life. This technique utilizes Applied Kinesiology (a type of muscle testing), to identify what emotions are blocking some aspect of health in the patient.

Dr. Bradley Nelson states that about 80 to 90 percent of all of our physical issues have emotional components to them. Clearing these “trapped emotions” can allow the body to have the ability to heal.

The Emotion Code does not claim to cure any disease. If a patient is concerned about pathogenicity or disease, he or she should consult the care of their medical doctor.

Body Code

The Body Code goes a level beyond the Emotion Code in that there are other reasons or energies that may be causing an imbalance in a patient's body. The body is composed of all kinds of energies, and the Body Code works to identify those other causes beyond emotions.

Once again this technique uses Applied Kinesiology to identify these imbalances within the body. The Body Code goes into energies that are toxic, energies that are blocking proper function of a circuit or system within the body, energetic pathogens, energetic misalignments, and energetic nutrition and lifestyle imbalances.

Many times there are imbalances that we find within the Body Code that are caused by emotions anyway.

Morphogenic Field Technique

The Morphogenic Field Technique uses Applied Kinesiology to identify collapses within the energy field of a patient and uses nutrition and herbs to expand the collapsed field. This technique accomplishes this through the use of filter vials that have the energies of problems a patient may have within them. These may include vials to identify energetic digestive issues, organ or gland issues, and/or immune system issues.

Once the issue is identified that is causing the energy field collapse, the Morphogenic Field Technique seeks to find the proper nutritional or herbal support that will correct that issue.

What is energy work?

There are many forms of energy work and too many to count for our purposes to answer this question. Although, Dr. Patterson uses energy work with the basic fact that our body responds to positive and negative stimuli. This is the basis of how applied kinesiology, or muscle testing, works. Through muscle testing we are better able to assess what the body is actually going through and identify treatments that will address the problems’ root cause.

What is it exactly you do?

The spine, if you will, of what Dr. Patterson does stems from releasing emotions and other energetic imbalances through the use of the Emotion Code and the Body Code.

Closing Remarks

We are all energetic beings having a mortal experience. As such, it takes energy to move negative energy out. Sometimes a patient may become tired or have an increase in symptoms for a day or two after an energy healing session. Then, the patient’s symptoms begin to dissipate or even go away. If we can open up our mind to the idea that we are just a bunch of atoms put together, 99.99999999% space with electrons floating around in that space, then we open ourselves up to a world of new possibilities. Possibilities (that) western medicine can’t always explain. In these possibilities we can find healing and a sense of wholeness as we embark on our healing path. We hope to join you in helping you move forward in your healing journey!
