- Primary CareI am a board certified naturopathic and chiropractic primary care physician, treating patients of all age groups. I have also completed 100 hours of training in acupuncture. I believe in the power of the body to heal itself if it is given the correct environment to do so. The body is able to heal when the cause of the condition is addressed, instead of suppressing symptoms. One primary role of being a doctor is serving as a teacher. Educating my patients about ways to achieve optimal health is essential to the process of healing. I provide patients with the proper education/tools, but in the end, it is up to each patient to make the appropriate lifestyle changes. Working together, as a team, is an integral part of the journey. I enjoy spending anywhere from 30-90 minutes with each patient, listening, answering questions, educating, and providing each patient with an individualized treatment plan.

- Mental HealthI was born and raised in Las Cruces, NM, and now currently call the Chicagoland area my home. Natural medicine has always been an integral part of my life. I was fortunate to have a mother who taught me natural remedies and took me to a chiropractor and acupuncturist at an early age.

- MammographyBreast thermography is an FDA approved breast cancer screening test. There are over 800 published studies in peer-reviewed journals that have attested to the accuracy of breast thermography. Most of this research has shown the accuracy to be greater than 90%. A 2008 study at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Cornell was published in the American Journal of Surgery, demonstrating a 97% sensitivity. Unlike mammography, thermography is safe, does not use radiation and is NOT made less accurate by dense breast tissue as is the case in mammography. It is also safe to use on women who have breast implants. Radiation is known to cause cancer and women who are exposed to repeated mammograms are more likely to develop cancer. Thermography does NOT increase the risk of developing breast cancer.
- ChemotherapyMammography is effective in detecting benign tumors and less effective for detecting more aggressive breast tumors. Preliminary studies show that thermography may be more effective at detecting aggressive cancers than mammography, due to increased angiogenesis. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, 1.3 million women in the US have received unnecessary and invasive cancer treatments, including surgery, radiation, hormone blocking therapy and chemotherapy for the last 30 years due to mammograms detecting harmless tumors. Other studies conducted in Europe have concluded that mammograms reduce the risk of death from cancer by less than 10 percent and may not reduce it at all. Thermography can reduce the number of false positives and over treatment of breast cancer by demonstrating whether a tumor is metabolically active. Because thermography does not use radiation, screening can begin much earlier. It is recommended to perform a baseline at age 20, screening every other year until age 30 when screening should then be conducted annually. Early detection is the most important factor in treating and overcoming breast cancer. Themography detects heat patterns that may identify suspicious pathology earlier than any other breast cancer screening tests. Thermography is safe, painless, effective and inexpensive.
- Sciatica
- Whiplash
- Face LiftA remarkably effective alternative to surgical treatment for aging, sagging skin. Bellanina® Facelift Massage Facelift Massage is a powerfully relaxing massage therapy that removes stress from the face leaving it looking and feeling healthier and younger.
- Neck LiftThe acupuncture face lift and neck lift protocols are safe, non-surgical and effective alternatives to invasive surgical procedures and toxic injectables with natural-looking and long-lasting results. The acupuncture protocols involve inserting small diameter needles into the dermis of the skin at a shallow depth, approximately 2-3mm, which creates a micro-trauma and stimulates fibro blast activity that increases collagen and elastin production. Repeated application of the procedure causes the outer layer of skin, the epidermis, to thicken which can help smooth facial expression lines and improve elasticity which produces a “lifting” effect.

As a side effect I also have more energy. I highly recommend this treatment.

- Physical TherapyVisceral Manipulation is a gentle, physical therapy that seeks to addresses restrictions or tensions and allow the body to return to normal movement and function. During a session, your physician will take a brief history and then begin with an assessment by lightly placing their hands on different points of the body. Once they have determined where the restrictions are, they will then use various techniques to release the restriction. Restrictions can occur in organs (viscera), ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints and even bone. Most patients report the half hour treatments as calming and without discomfort and see immediate relief from symptoms within 12 hours.

- Plantar FasciitisThe word “Myofascial” is comprised of “myo” meaning muscle tissue, and “fascial” refers to the connective tissue that ties all of our muscles, bones and other tissues together. When a muscle is stressed or dysfunctional – due to injury, repetitive strain, stress, lifting heavy loads, poor posture, or inactivity – it pulls the bone structure out of alignment. When the body is out of alignment, other muscles compensate in an attempt to stabilize resulting in soreness and often weakness. As a result, correcting these problems often requires working on areas far from the location where pain is experienced. These stressed muscles form tender, often painful trigger points or knots that develop in tight bands of muscle and create poor body mechanics causing pain, dysfunction, and often chronic problems such as bulging discs, sciatic pain, back pain, headache, frozen shoulders, plantar fasciitis.
