Lipo Laser for Fat Reduction

There are two types of laser liposuction–external and internal. Core Health Solutions utilizes external laser liposuction. In this technique, a low level laser is used to heat the skin from the bottom internal layer, and it works by punching tiny holes into the cells, which drain into your lymphatic system in the form of triglycerides. These are then further metabolized and eliminated through the urinary tract.

The key is to exercise, drink plenty of water, and eat sensibly after the procedure. This helps to flush the fat you’ve just released out of your body.

Lipo Laser is much safer than the traditional liposuction surgery in that it is FDA approved, has proven results, and is non-invasive with no downtime.

Individuals who make good candidates for lipo laser are:

• people with one or two pesky bulges that just won’t go away
• good skin elasticity
• people with more weight to lose who want a jump start to their weight loss program

Food Sensitivity Testing

Believe it or not, the old saying is true–you are what you eat. Unfortunately, sometimes we are allergic to the very things we love, and we don’t even know it! That’s where our Food Sensitivity Testing come into play. We use a variety of them to determine a variety of conditions.

Intestinal Antigenic Permeability Screen

Wheat/Gluten Reactivity & Autoimmunity

Gluten Associated Cross Reactive Foods and Foods Sensitivity

Multiple Autoimmune Reactivity Screen

Diabetes Autoimmune Reactivity Screen

Neurological Autoimmune Reactivity Screen – Expanded

Joint Autoimmune Reactivity Screen

Multiple Food Immune Reactivity Screen

Chemical Immune Reactivity Screen

Blood Brain Barrier Permeability

And Array 10 which combines 10 different tests into one:

Heat Modified Protein Reactivity – proteins break down into different structure when heated above 118 degrees, and so your body may react differently to something that has been cooked vs. raw.

Measuring Cross Reactive Pan Antigen Isolates – these have been known to cross react with human tissue when exposed, which then can result in tissue damage.

Combined Food Protein Reactivity – testing many different kinds of food protein inter-reactions. This is important because when different food proteins interact with one another, it can change their antigenicity.

Gum Large Molecule Reactivity – testing for antibodies to large gum molecules which can cause immune reactivity. This is especially good for people that are on a gluten free diet as most gluten free products are held together with “gum”.

Lectins & Agglutinins Isolation – Lectins and Agglutinins that are plant derived are attracted to specific human organs. Unfortunately, this may trigger an immune response.

Tissue Bound Reactivity – this involved measuring the level of food coloring in your system

Amplified Antigenetic Proteins & Peptides – this detects the reactivity of a protein within a whole food

OIl Protein Isolation – Oils have proteins which can create an immune response

Enzyme Mediated Protein Reactivity – this has to do with “meat glue”. Meat glue hold smaller pieces of meat together to create larger pieces of meat. An example of this would be ground beef. The meat glue can trigger an immune reaction even if you’re not allergic to the meat itself.

Dual Antibody Detection – different people produce different levels of antibodies

These tests alone or combined can help us determine a number how your body reacts to:

• Celiac Disease
• Joint Pain
• Thyroid Conditions
• Psoriasis
• Diabetes
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBS)

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

If you suffer from pain or numbness radiating into your thigh, calf, feet, or toes, there is a good chance that it is stemming from a bulging, degenerative, or herniated disc in the Lumbar spine (lower back). If you have pain or numbness in the shoulder, arm, hand, and fingers, it might be coming from the same type of disc issue in the central spine (neck).

We have successfully helped hundreds of people with these conditions over the last ten years, and most of them had already tried a variety of other treatments such as pain meds, spinal injections, chiropractic, acupuncture, and physical therapy. These are good treatments for a variety of other conditions, but in this case, they are not able to address the underlying cause of the problem…the disc itself.

Non-surgical decompression, developed by a team of Neurosurgeons and engineers, is designed to do just that–address the underlying cause! If a person has a nail stuck in their foot, does it make more sense to put ice on the foot, rub the foot and/or take pain pills, or REMOVE THE NAIL?!! The answer is simple, and the same principle applies to Spinal Decompression. We must address the underlying cause!

What IS Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression? It is a process where the spine is stretched and relaxed intermittently to encourage healing in a controlled environment. The benefits are two-fold:

1. It allows the herniated disc or disc matter to go back into the spine itself
2. It allows the nutrients to get INTO the disc wheras before they were kept out by the intense pressure

The first step to spinal decompression therapy is testing. Your medical history–from x-rays to CT/MRI’s will be reviewed to ensure you are a good candidate, and if so, an individual treatment plan is created. Each treatment is different, however “most” patients can be treated in 10 to 25 sessions.

Spinal Decompression Therapy is non-invasive in that it does not involve any shots, risky surgeries, or dangerous medications. The individual is shown to the treatment area, fitted with a special harness that is designed to enhance the decompression effects, and then assisted into the machine. Once programmed with your individual needs, the decompression session lasts anywhere from 15-25 minutes. During this time the machine will gently put pressure on the axis of the spine which in turn will create a gentle pull where the herniated disc or other bulge will be pulled back into shape. When this happens, many people can feel the nutrients rushing back into their spine, and they experience a form a of relief on the spot.

Core Health Solutions is the only clinic in Hampton Roads to offer the DRX 9000 Spinal Decompression system. Drs. McGiffin and Doyle have been utilizing spinal decompression methods for over 10 years.

MRI Evaluation

Before we get to work on helping you, we must know what is wrong. That’s where an MRI Evaluation comes in! MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and it uses pulses of energy–within a magnetic field created by two powerful magnets, to make pictures of your bones, tissues, and organs. The human body is made up of 60% water, and those water molecules have protons at their core which serve as magnets. Water molecules do not follow set patterns, however when they are influenced by the powerful magnets within the MRI, it causes them to align and allows the computer to create a detailed image for the technician.

There are many benefits to utilizing an MRI. MRI’s are non-invasive, painless, radiation free, and can be used to detect a multitude of things including:

• specific types of heart problems
• spinal cord abnormalities & injury
• joint injury
• certain diseases
• tumors and/or cysts

Class IV Cold Laser Therapy

At Core Health Solutions we encounter many different types of injuries relating to ligaments, tissue, muscle, and chronic pain. In some instances these can be treated with Cold Laser therapy. What is Cold Laser Therapy, you may ask? It’s a low level laser therapy that is non-invasive, and can be a good alternative to acupuncture, surgery, and/or prescription drugs.

It works by emitting energy units of red and infrared laser radiation, and directing them to the damaged cells. These are called photons, and these photons stimulate the mitochondria to accelerate, which in turn increases cell energy. This increase in cell energy transforms cells from sick to healthy in a matter of minutes by stimulating reproduction, vascular activity (blood flow), reducing scar tissue, reducing inflammation, and stimulating nerve growth.

Cold Laser Therapy can be used to help a variety of conditions including:

• Arthritis
• Chronic Pain
• Back Pain
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to name a few

Core Health Solutions is the ONLY clinic in Hampton Roads that offers the MLS M6 laser by Cutting Edge technologies.   The M6 is considered by most authorities to be the most effective and innovative laser of it’s kind.  If you want serious pain relief, you want the best technology you can possibly get.
