Integrative Care Heals the Whole

Posted by: The Balancing Center

Have you ever caught a cold because you were experiencing incredible amounts of stress? Have you ever found that you get sick at the worst possible time, when you are already depressed or swamped with work or dealing with relationship or family troubles?

While some might call your situation a coincidence or bad luck, those with an integrative perspective on wellness would see nothing coincidental about it. This is because health issues are rarely just physical issues; they often arise in direct conjunction with or even because of the mental and emotional stressors in your life. And even if these problems are just physical, one problem might be related to several others and you might not even know it!

One faulty gear can interfere with the rest!

At The Balancing Center we believe that health problems are multidimensional, involving physical, emotional, and mental states. We therefore offer multidimensional solutions to get you out of pain and into wellness, energy, and vitality. We help you discover and apply the right, integrative combination of doctor care and self-care to maximize your recovery and your overall state of health.

What might go into your customized care plan? Well, there's no one answer! Since every person is unique, every care plan is unique. The Balancing Center offers an array of health and wellness services, integrating chiropractic care with bodywork, energy synchronization, supplements, and more.

The Balancing Center features the N.U.C.C.A. technique as its signature chiropractic care, a specific kind of care that focuses on adjusting the upper cervical vertebrae. Dr. Daniel Fedeli, Dr. Ken Bennett, and Dr. James Tickel also practice B.E.S.T. and NET, synchronizing your mental, emotional, and physical states and releasing traumatic patterns. The doctors teach you their signature Foundational Movement Practices to retrain you to sit, stand, and move better, allowing you to integrate your chiropractic care into everyday life.

The Balancing Center’s bodyworkers, Barry Krost and Mary Holmquist practice various kinds of therapeutic techniques, including Ortho-Bionomy, cranial-sacral therapy, myofascial release therapy, and more. These therapies help to clear stress, relieve tension, and increase your energy.

We are also always excited to offer Orenda products and partnerships.

Besides these specific services and products, we strive to provide general resources for health and wellness, from diet to exercise to healthy thinking. We advocate integrating a dynamic combination of techniques to first get you healthy and then keep you healthy. A variety of tactics creates a strong health strategy that you can use as your master plan for increased and continued wellness, now and far into the future!

Go Upstream to Find the Problem!

Posted by: The Balancing Center

Imagine you live by a river, brown from chemical pollution, gritty from agricultural runoff, choked with debris. You work hard to clean it up and manage to get it decently restored. But a few weeks later the river is right back to where it was: brown, gritty, choked...out of balance.

And then you travel a few miles north and discover the factory that is actually responsible for all the problems appearing miles downstream. Without working to have the factory improve its waste management, any downstream clean-up efforts become mere stopgaps.

Often when people deal with health problems and pain, their situation is like the story of this river. When you are ill, it is easy to become distracted by the most apparent evidence of a problem, usually pain or discomfort. And while pain is a powerful sign of illness, it is often the last sign that something is wrong. Cleaning a river that is still being polluted only provides a temporary solution. Addressing pain, symptoms, and side effects without discovering the source of your health problems will only provide temporary relief.

That’s where we can help! When you visit The Balancing Center to experience our care, the first step we take is to travel “upstream” in your spine to discover exactly what root causes are contributing to your pains, sufferings, and imbalances. Rather than “cracking” separate areas of your back, we focus on your upper cervical vertebrae to realign your neck and head. This is because your upper cervical vertebrae has a controlling influence on the rest of your spine and body. This is how we uniquely specialize in getting to the root of the problems that are robbing you of your vitality and interfering with your life. By uncovering these underlying conditions, we can provide customized care to get you out of pain and back into balance!

Once we address your upstream problems, your body is clean and clear to receive the full benefits of the other wonderful care you provide for it: regular exercise, calming meditation, a nutritious diet, all three or more! We help provide you with the balance and connection your body craves in order to enhance your body’s wondrous ability to heal itself. You are designed to be well. We help you on the path to achieving that healthy design.
