What should I expect during treatment?

Where the acupuncture needle has been inserted, you may experience a vague numbness, heaviness, tingling or dull ache. Sometimes people experience a sensation of energy spreading and moving around the needle. This is called the “Qi sensation”. All these reactions are good and a sign that the treatment is working. After treatment, you may feel energized or may experience a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.

What is NRT? 
(Nutrition Response Testing)

What is being tested?

Electrical energy flows exist between all parts and organs of the body. This is how your nervous system communicates and controls the body’s functions. These flows can become disrupted for a variety of reasons (i.e., physical or chemical stressors). This disruption in the nervous system’s healthy electrical flows is what we are testing.

The Practitioner is testing your body’s neurological reflexes. These reflexes are the body's way of telling us what and how your nervous system is doing. The nervous system regulates the body’s functions for each and every organ. The testing includes all organs, glands, joints, muscles and the entire body.

How does it work?

Nutrition Response Testing is a non-invasive system of analyzing the body to determine the underlying causes of illness and non-optimum health. Our clinically proven system may be quite different from any other healing practice you have experienced.

The actual procedure is simple and direct, with the body providing all of the information and feedback needed. The body responds to the procedure reliably and consistently, using all the extraordinary properties of the human cells and tissues to bring about healing and health changes.
