An Integrative Approach to Cardiovascular Health
|
Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer of Americans in both men and women. Diet and exercise play a very large role in obtaining or maintaining heart health; regular aerobic exercise, whole foods, and a plant-based diet is recommended to improve your heart health. Alcohol, caffeine, and refined sugar impair cardiovascular health and therefore should have limited consumption. Additionally, smoking is detrimental to cardiovascular health, and it should be discontinued entirely. |

The Benefits of Infrared Sauna Treatment |
|
As the winter months are coming in the north east, our wonderful sauna is the perfect get-away right in the center of Delmar! We offer therapeutic Far Infrared saunas at the center. Theses low temperature infrared saunas help to mobilize and eliminate toxins and chemicals from your system in a thorough, but gentle way. Far infrared heat is more deeply penetrating than higher temperature saunas and helps to dilate and expand blood vessels, allowing for greater sweating and more elimination of harmful toxins. Further, far infrared heat promotes lipolysis which is the breakdown of fat tissue. |

What's the Hype with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? |
|
This safe and non-invasive therapy is the most trusted way to deliver a large concentration of oxygen to all organs of the body, even to areas with poor blood flow!
We believe HBOT is critical to enhance your healing potential. Under the medical supervision of Dr. Ronald Stram, we utilize the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen as an adjunct therapy to complement and enhance the healing process in both chronic and acute conditions of our patients.
BENEFITS
At the cellular level, higher concentrations of oxygen from HBOT have the following effects:
- Promotes healing,
- Supports the growth of new tissue and blood vessels,
- Decreases swelling and inflammation,
- Stimulates collagen production,
- Increases the body’s ability to fight infections,
- Helps metabolize toxins.
HBOT has been demonstrated in many clinical studies to have dramatic benefits for stroke, traumatic head and spinal cord injuries, diabetic ulcers, slow healing wounds, burns, skin infections, anemia and autism. In addition, a broad range of other conditions have seen benefits from HBOT including:
- Pre & Post Surgery
- Sports Injuries
- Aid Fracture Healing
- Skin infections
- Radiation tissue damage
- Arthritic diseases
- Fibromyalgia/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome)
- Lyme Disease

As we begin to peel and unpack away the layers of experiences in these last two years, we may notice a shift in our ability to access hope. Our relationship with hope changed. We changed. Hope demonstrates the power to support ourselves and those we love. When it is wavered thin due to the chaos and uncertainty around us, mental health issues, and the fatigue in utilizing our survival skills, hope can feel distant and difficult to grasp. |

With February being Heart Awareness Month, we might consider if what we are eating is healing or harming our hearts; the organ which pumps life force throughout the body. Keeping our hearts healthy (or improving our heart health) should include a total lifestyle approach. What we eat matters, as does exercise, sleep, whether we smoke, and stress management. |

Acupuncture for Stroke Recovery
|
|
A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when there is a bleed or blood clot within the blood vessels of the brain. This can lead to paralysis, confusion, incoherent speech, seizures or death. The rehabilitation after stroke involves occupational/physical therapy and pharmaceuticals.
TCM (Traditional Chinese medicine) has been used for post stroke treatment for thousands of years. It benefits stroke recovery by restoring the flow of qi and blood in the body to nourish the cells and inhibit further destruction of tissue. Most of the damage occurs during and soon after stroke so initiating treatment quickly is crucial for the most positive outcome. The ideal time to begin stroke recovery using acupuncture is within the first 3 days, if not sooner. Alongside other western medicine applications, acupuncture treatments should be 2-3 times per week.
