AGAIN, WELCOME TO VISIT OUR CLINIC AND THE WEBSITE!

Usually, the initial office visit is about an hour to 90 minutes. Our doctors must listen to symptoms, perform a full acupuncture and chiropractic examination, identify the patients problem, and determine whether additional diagnostic studies are needed, such as an X-Ray or MRI. Since the office visit is time lengthy and limited, it is important that you keep your appointment time on punctuate and fill out our patient forms timely. For a downloadable version of these forms, please click here.

We take time to answer any questions you might have about your payment and treatment options. We want you to feel comfortable with the information you receive. If you have X-Ray or MRI, additional diagnostic studies report from other doctors, it is the best for you to take them with you for the visit. The more help you can give to the doctor, the more help the doctor can give to you.

PREPARATION FOR YOUR TREATMENT

Proper preparation for your treatments, both mentally and physically, will help you achieve the most for your better heath. We've prepared the following information to guide you. Please review it regularly, and let us know if there is anything we can explain or clarify.

All patients are encouraged to read Healthy Hormones, Healthy Life and Say Good-bye to Illness before they begin BRT, NAET or JMT treatments. These books help to explain the treatments and affects. The Doctor is happy to answer any questions you may have.

Cellular phones and pagers must be turned off when in the treatment room, as well as in the office, reception area, and hallway outside the office. Acupuncture, NAET, JMT, BRT are all energy sensitive, and pagers, cell phones, and similar devices can disturb the result.

PRIOR TO YOUR TREATMENT:

Chiropractic care is "remarkably safe", according to the new Zealand government's inquiry. It is the result of a conservative approach to health that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs. The doctors at CA Clinic combine Chiropractic and Acupuncture knowledge and techniques together to offer you a natural approach to better health that safe and effective.
No perfume, perfume powder, strong smelling deodorant, hair spray, or after shave, or other scents when you come to the Clinic for treatment. Some patients may have allergic reactions to particular scents, causing asthma or other distress.

Refrain from eating strong smelling herbs like raw garlic, onion, etc.

Smoking is not permitted in the office or office building.

Do not wear clothes that smell like smoke or paint. Allergic patients can react to these odors.

Wash your hands before treatment. Do not put lotion on your hands because certain oils may affect treatment result.

Remove all jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, watches) prior to treatment.

You should not take NAET treatments and acupuncture when you are hungry so be sure to eat before you come for the treatment, but do not eat heavily. Hypoglycemia will cause fainting, dizziness, or cause you to be uncomfortable after the treatment. If you cannot eat prior to your appointment, please bring a light snack with you and eat it just before the treatment.

Drink a glass of water before the treatment. Dehydration will affect the treatment result.

It is good for your body to have a general body massage immediately before the NAET, JMT, or BRT treatment. Massages can help to improve the energy flow through energy pathways.

For female patients: Treatments are not advisable during the first three days of menstrual cycle.

DURING THE TREATMENTS:

A quiet environment (without talk) is essential for the Doctor to focus on your body, especially when the Doctor is testing with vials, and also when he does acupuncture or acupressure. The focus he attains has influence on his chosen treatment. The Doctor enjoys good humor and also wants to answer any questions you may have, but for the best success of your treatment, please hold conversation until after treatment is completed.

During treatment, you cannot read magazines, newspapers, books, etc., or listen to noisy music. Instead, center yourself and relax. If you can meditate or focus for 15-20 minutes on healing yourself, it will help the treatment result.

Relaxing is very important. Try not to think about work, stressful relationships, family issues and so on. We play quiet music to help you to relax. However, if you prefer not to hear music or you don’t like the music we play, we can turn it off. Or you can bring your own soft music. (And Dr. David will be very appreciative if you can leave your music to him, so he would share it with other patients.)

Do not eat or chew gum or candy during the treatment.

Do not cross your hands or feet during spinal stimulation or acupuncture.

Do not touch other objects during the 15-20 minutes following the spinal manipulation treatment because contact with other substances during this period could cause your treatment to fail.

You must advise us if you have a pacemaker or other cardiovascular device. Use of electrical stimulation may be dangerous if you have a pacemaker, so you must let us know.

You can bring an adult to accompany you, however it is important that you stay quiet and focused, without talking with anyone (aside from answering the Doctor's questions) throughout the treatment.

We request that you not bring children if they cannot entertain themselves quietly without you. Children can wait in the reception area (there are some children's toys and magazines to help pass time) if they can play quietly. Also, going in and out of your treatment room is disruptive to the treatment process and will affect your outcome for that treatment.

Each treatment room is equipped with a call buzzer in the unlikely event that you feel an adverse reaction during treatment.

AFTER THE TREATMENT:

Wash your hands after the treatment. If you are unable to wash your hands after, vigorous rubbing of your hands for 30 seconds will be sufficient. Do not put lotion on your hands.

Do not exercise for 6 hours after treatment.

Avoid exposure to extreme hot or cold temperature after the treatment.

Do not bathe or shower until 6 hours after the treatment.

It is good for your body to have a general body massage 6 or more hours after the NAET, JMT, or BRT treatment. Massages can help to improve the energy flow through energy pathways.

Remember to re-check with the Doctor for the item treated, after 25 hours minimum but within one week to make sure you have completed the treatment. If you did not complete the treatment, your symptoms due to the incomplete treatment may continue for a long time, sometimes for weeks. Eventually the symptoms will wear off if you did not repeat the treatment for the unfinished allergen.

To insure maximum progress with your treatments maintain your own treatment and food diary in the NAET guide book at the section for record keeping in the book. If you need help to record your treatments, please ask your practitioner.

You may need to take extra precaution if you are treated for environmental substances (mineral mix, metals, water, leather, formaldehyde, fabric, wood, mold, mercury, newspaper, marker ink, chemicals, flowers, perfume, etc.). To stay away from these substances if you are highly sensitive to the allergens, you may need to wear a mask, gloves, socks or shoes even to bed, full gowns, scarf, earplugs, cover your head, ears, and forehead, etc.

Do not eat a heavy meal after the NAET, JMT, BRT or acupuncture treatments.

Energy moves better in a well hydrated body. Drink at least 6 glasses of water per day after NAET, JMT, BRT and acupuncture treatments to help flush out the toxins produced during the treatment.

Please do not stop any other treatment you are doing: medication, massage therapy, chiropractic treatments, etc.

A FINAL WORD .....

Maintaining health is much easier than using radical therapeutic medicine to correct damage already done. Proper diet, along with proper digestion, absorption, and metabolism of the food you eat is a much better choice than any
drugs and supplements. During the last phase of your treatment plan, a monthly maintenance program (once a month) can help to maintain your energy and the strength of your Immune System. We always want you to be in the best health!
