Nutrition Response Testing
Our personalized health improvement program identifies organ dysfunction and nutritional deficiencies through non-invasive neurological reflex testing. Using whole-food supplements and dietary adjustments, we address food intolerances, toxicity, and immune challenges to restore bodily function. This evidence-based approach has helped patients reduce medication dependence and achieve measurable health improvements within 4-6 weeks.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Our specialized treatment addresses nerve damage through infrared laser therapy, neurotrophic nutrition, and myofascial therapy. Unlike conventional pain management, we target underlying causes like toxicity and nutritional deficiencies to repair nerve function. Patients experience reduced burning sensations, improved mobility, and restored sensory perception through our multi-phase recovery program.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on restoring nerve flow to organs and muscles by correcting spinal misalignments. This approach improves autonomic nervous system function, addressing issues from digestive problems to chronic pain. Combining spinal alignment with nutritional support creates synergistic effects for whole-body wellness and optimal organ function.
Autoimmune Health
We address autoimmune conditions through comprehensive detoxification and targeted nutrition programs. By identifying specific food intolerances and toxicity levels, we develop personalized plans to reduce immune system overactivity. Our approach focuses on restoring gut health and balancing immune responses to improve conditions like Hashimoto's and rheumatoid arthritis.
Celluma Light Therapy
This NASA-developed therapy uses blue, red, and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular regeneration. The non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation, improves skin health, and alleviates musculoskeletal pain. When combined with nutritional programs, it enhances cellular energy production and accelerates tissue repair for faster recovery from chronic conditions.

Whoever below has given the 1 star rating, I totally agree with them. This is what had exactly happened at this center. The initial amount that you spend on Groupon coupon will not yield you any results.

Report
This is absolutely not a scam as one reviewer wrote. Dr. Nelson is very knowledgeable about nutrition and health and has a real concern for her patients. She has helped me not only improve my diet and identify food intolerances but also has helped with my back issues as a chiropractor. I am in better health because of her and the Nutritional Response System.

Report
I am 69 years old and for years have had problems with weight and digestive issues including a bad case of acid reflux which would wake me up at night as I choked on the burning acid in my throat. I also had a pronounced nervous tick where my head and hands would shake. I tried everything for years. So when I saw this center advertised on 'Group On' I said why not try it. I have been going now for around 6 months and my stomach issues and acid reflux problems are completely gone. I have more energy. My nervous tick has diminished greatly. I am so happy I never thought I could feel so well. Dr.

I thought I was eating healthy, but starting the program educated me a lot about what foods are not just good, but what are good for my specific body. I learned that everyone is different and through Nutrition Response Testing, Dr. Nelson has determined what whole foods and whole food supplements my body specifically needs. I'm feeling stronger all the time.
