Body Wellness Services

Our psychiatry PAs prescribe and manage mental health medications for adults. While medications can play an important role for many, medications are often only a part of a treatment plan that may also include recommendations for therapy and lifestyle changes to help with your overall wellness. We take an evidence-based approach to prescribing medications, and believe in conservative prescribing practices by focusing on the least number and lowest effective doses of medications, while typically avoiding the use of controlled medications.

Although all yoga is potentially therapeutic and healing, yoga therapy is the specific application of yogic tools to support an individual’s physical, mental, and emotional needs. By understanding how particular practices affect the body and mind, a program of practices can be developed to address a client’s specific goals while considering any limitations they might be experiencing. Yoga therapy tools can include breathwork, meditation, guided relaxation, physical postures, philosophy, and more. Yoga therapy can benefit experienced yogis as well as people who have no yoga experience at all, including those with mobility limitations. Indeed, one of the most beautiful aspects of yoga is that it can be adapted to meet any person where that person is.

Acupuncture is one modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine offered at our clinic. Through careful observation, acupuncturists study each individual’s health concerns, tailoring each treatment based on the unique needs of each person. This helps enhance the body’s innate ability to heal and recover.

For thousands of years and in many cultures around the world, Chinese medicine has been used as a primary health care system. Treatment can consist of the use of needles (acupuncture), medicinal herbs, massage, and other therapies. Nutritional and lifestyle changes are also a critical aspect of TCM treatments.

How you think about what you are eating is often as important as what you are eating. Our Integrative and Functional nutrition specialist helps you achieve vitality through a holistic, personalized approach to health and healing, exploring root causes of your issues in a safe and non-judgmental space. Once health goals are developed, a variety of individualized nutrition therapies are integrated, (whole foods/traditional foods, therapeutic diets, prescriptive eating, tailored supplements, mind-body work) and focus is placed on letting your body be the guide through the healing process. Testing may be utilized to help us know what interventions will be most helpful for you.

IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback (MCNF) supports the central nervous system which is the mastermind of the body, controlling all its functions and responses. Because of things like trauma, stress, injury, and illness, our brains rewire and change and get stuck in maladaptive patterns that contribute to the symptoms that hinder our ability to function more productively and live more joyfully. Through the use of electrodes strategically placed on the head and neck, MCNF monitors the brain waves and produces a measurable change in the brainwaves without conscious effort from the individual receiving the feedback. This temporary change allows the brain to reorganize itself, disrupting the negative thought patterns that stop us from being the best version of ourselves. IASIS does not train the brain, instead it “disentrains” the brain by allowing it to reorganize itself and abandon the faulty patterns that contribute to debilitating symptoms. This is analogous to “rebooting” a frozen computer.

IASIS MCNF is a powerful, pain free, non-invasive, and drug-free solution that taps into our brains ability to create new neural pathways—a scientifically proven ability called Neuroplasticity. It is safe and effective for all ages and has been found to be beneficial for optimal performance and a number of conditions such as complex trauma/ PTSD, ADHD/ADD, addiction/ recovery, stress disorders, anxiety/ panic, OCD, depression, brain fog, concussions/ head injuries, chronic pain, developmental delays, ASD, memory problems, headaches/ migraines, sleep problems, stroke, tinnitus, and more. IASIS Micro Current Neurofeedback is the first technology of its kind that has image-based evidence of its efficacy and produces fast results in a limited number of sessions. The result is a changed brainwave state and a much greater ability for the brain and nervous system to regulate itself.
