Structure refers to the musculoskeletal system, which consists of muscles, fascia, bones, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and connective tissue. The central cause of problems here lie in the muscles, which develop “adhesions” and become tight, twisted, knotted-up, restricted and painful. This results in neck and back pain, as well as pain in joints such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle. This also contributes to many forms of arthritis.
In my experience, most practitioners do not deal deeply enough with the underlying muscle imbalances and adhesions. We utilize very advanced soft-tissue techniques such as Active Release Technique, Graston Technique, Applied Kinesiology and chiropractic as well as state-of-the-art modalities such as mineral infrared, cold laser and low frequency ultrasound therapies. This combination enables us to correct these conditions relatively quickly.

Nutritional Deficiencies
Proper nutrition, both as to diet and nutritional supplements, is vital to good health and is more complicated than it is often made out to be, for a number of reasons including:
* Individual nutritional requirements vary greatly from one person to another.
* It is far more effective to pinpoint one’s exact individual needs, rather than guessing based on something you read or taking a “shotgun approach” in the hope that some combination will work.
* Modern life in New York, which is loaded with high levels of stress, toxins, and microbes, often require very specific nutritional supplements which most people are lacking. Even if a person “eats well”, most still must supplement their diet with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc.
* Many of the products on the market today are of inferior quality. Nutrition is “big business” today and there is a great deal of hype, misinformation and an over-emphasis on profit over quality.
In addition to being a Certified Nutritionist/Dietician, I utilize kinesiological testing which if used properly is a brilliant tool for assessing an individual’s specific nutritional needs. Also, the supplements we use are of the highest and purest quality. It is not what you take, but what you utilize that counts.
