Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a branch of ancient Chinese medicine which promotes the balance and flow of chi (pronounced chee) or energy throughout the fourteen major energy channels of the body. The acupuncturist inserts very fine flexible needles into specific acupuncture points. Chi is meant to flow freely throughout the body. Blockages of chi can occur and result in pain and various health conditions such as arthritis, stress and chronic fatigue. Periodic acupuncture treatments can help to slow aging, relieve pain and depression and can even help with insomnia and thyroid conditions. There are at least 70 other health conditions such as allergies and headaches that can be treated with acupuncture.

Acupuncture can even help in chronic pain cases. Instead of just relieving pain, acupuncture addresses the underlying cause of the pain. An estimated 15 million people try acupuncture for the first time every year. Americans are now seeing first hand the miraculous results of this ancient healing art.

Botox
SpectraComplete is proud to announce the addition of Botox and Juvaderm injections for our patients. Amanda has recently become certified in providing this advanced anti-aging treatment. Botox injections are widely used to reduce appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, in between the eyes and around the eyes (crow’s feet). Juvaderm is a dermal filler substance to replace collagen that the body has stopped producing. It is used to reduce appearance of wrinkles around the laugh lines, above the lip and chin. It also can enlarge the lips. All the products used are FDA approved and available now with individual pricing depending on the treatment. Call the office now for your free consultation.

Detox
Toxins come from environmental pollutants, chemical additives, refined foods, through polluted air, drinking water, pharmaceutical drugs, mercury, pesticides, tobacco, alcohol, and our food supply to name a few. Toxic wastes are carried throughout the circulatory system and to every organ. Toxins are stored in our cells, tissues, glands, and cavities that have been filled with mercury.
Toxins slowly damage cells, usually undetected until the onset of a diseased state. The largest detoxifying organ in our body is the liver. It filters and eliminates waste, which the liver turns into bile. The bile is then filtered through the gallbladder and then into the intestinal tract. The intestinal tract absorbs nutrients from food. If your intestinal tract is not working properly either due to diarrhea or constipation, less nutrients will be absorbed. Kidneys and the bladder also play an important role in filtering toxins.Some of the diseases that are associated with toxicity are autism, cancer, allergies, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, irritable bowel syndrome, infertility, adrenal and thyroid disorders.

The body eliminates toxins by breath, sweat, urine, and bowel. If the body is in overload, it will not be able to handle the detoxification process alone. The safest way to start a detox program is by cleaning up your diet and environment. This means no artificial sweeteners, preservatives or colors, limit or stop drinking caffeinated beverages and alcohol, avoid smoking and use natural cleaning products and pesticides. Drink plenty of clean water and green tea. Choose meats that are free from antibiotics and hormones. Consume fruits, vegetables, and other high fiber foods that are either organic or washed very well. Start an exercise program that promotes sweating or use a sauna. Once you started this process, make an appointment with Dr. Koche at Spectra Complete. She will be able to guide you through the next, more complicated stages of your detox program where she will be following your progress and outcome.
