Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments use ultra-thin needles to stimulate energy flow and trigger the body's natural healing processes. This ancient practice effectively addresses pain management, stress reduction, and systemic imbalances. Patients experience improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced nervous system function through personalized sessions tailored to individual health goals.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine at Redwood Clinic identifies and treats underlying causes of chronic conditions through comprehensive assessments. We combine nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation to restore bodily systems to optimal function. This science-based approach addresses digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune disorders through individualized treatment plans.
Neurological Treatments
Our Neurologic Relief Center Technique (NRCT) addresses meningeal compression to improve neurological function. This specialized treatment alleviates symptoms of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and nerve-related pain by restoring proper fluid flow around the central nervous system. Patients benefit from reduced pain levels and improved cognitive function through this innovative approach.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations combine traditional Chinese medicine principles with Western botanical science to support healing. We prescribe evidence-based herbal combinations for immune support, hormonal balance, and detoxification. Our protocols ensure safe interactions with conventional medications while enhancing the body's natural recovery processes through plant-based medicine.
Detox Programs
Our detoxification programs remove accumulated toxins through structured protocols tailored to individual needs. Using nutritional support and natural supplements, we enhance liver function and eliminate heavy metals.
