Nutrition Response Testing
This non-invasive system identifies bodily imbalances through muscle testing and reflex points. Our certified practitioners analyze 13 key meridian stress points to determine nutritional deficiencies affecting health. Customized programs combine whole food supplements, dietary changes, and detox protocols to address chronic conditions like autoimmune disorders and digestive issues while improving energy levels and immune function.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Specialized manual adjustments correct spinal misalignments causing nerve interference. Our approach combines traditional techniques with modern analysis to treat conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, and chronic pain. By restoring proper joint function and reducing inflammation, we help patients achieve lasting relief from musculoskeletal issues while improving overall nervous system communication.
PEMF Therapy
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy stimulates cellular repair through low-frequency magnetic waves. This non-invasive treatment improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and enhances cellular metabolism. Patients experience accelerated healing for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain conditions, and post-surgical recovery while promoting better sleep and stress reduction through improved cellular function.
Detoxification Programs
Comprehensive detox protocols address heavy metal toxicity, chemical exposure, and metabolic waste accumulation. Our multi-phase programs combine nutritional support, sauna therapy, and targeted supplementation to enhance liver function and lymphatic drainage. Patients report increased energy, clearer thinking, and improved immune function as their bodies eliminate stored toxins affecting long-term health.
Energy Healing
This holistic modality balances the body's energy systems through chakra alignment and light therapy. Using color-specific frequencies and crystal technology, we address emotional blockages and energetic imbalances affecting physical health. Patients experience reduced stress, emotional release, and improved mental clarity as their biofield harmonizes with natural healing rhythms.

Dr. Armitstead helped me change my life truly after a few years of working with her and being consistent about taking my supplements my body was able to detox and start working properly. I had really abused it during college and still have my moments but being on her program has helped me to stabilize my body and emotions as well as give me a greater understanding of when things are off. I have an idea of what needs to be done to get back on track and when I cant figure it out Im back in the office. I highly recommend working with her.

I visited Healing Arts for the first time last year after being misdiagnosed by a few dermatologists. I had white spots covering my entire arms. Most doctors just prescribed creams and pills and nothing worked.
Finally, through muscle testing, Dr. Armitstead saw I had candida and it was the root cause of my issues. The treatment lasted 3 months and my skin completely cleared! I am so grateful. I now come regularly for check ups. If you've been suffering from not knowing what's actually going on with your body, this place is for you.

In my fight against breast cancer amidst a global pandemic, Dr Armitstead was my rock. She's a gifted healer. She and her kind team helped guide me out of hypersensitivity (due to chemo, my chemo 'rockbottom'), bring back my immune system, and with general care and well-being. She provides a tailored approach reading what your body needs. I can't say enough positive things and don't know what I would have done without her on my journey and beyond.

I would recommend doing the elimination diet and some cleanses as this would have a similar result. If this is something you aren't into doing, then by all means get assistance by a professional. I do feel the meetings were rushed and about 10 mins long. I ended up spending a lot of time and money on sessions and supplements. I have done muscle testing before in city and had a much better experience and results at another office. I have since learned to muscle test myself which has been great. I wish I could give a better review but this is my honest experience.

A few years ago I came down with a virus. It lasted for 6-8 weeks. I went to my doctor twice in which she told me there was nothing she could do that antibiotics would not help as it was not a bacterial virus. After leaving work with a fever most days, being winded after walking a block and unable to eat, my optometrist recommended me Dr. Armitstead. After testing me she had me on a regimen of supplements and a diet to build up my immune system. I was actually healing and within 6-8 weeks my colleagues and friends noticed that I had not only lost weight but had a healthy glow. I came away healthier
