Alternative Therapies

Wellspring is the independent alternative care branch of our office in Eagan. Its goal is to offer a complementary but still alternative approach to your optimal health. Wellspring approaches your health from a natural, proactive, whole person position rather than the drug oriented, symptom-based, reactive "sickness" approach that is so common in our country, Eagan included.

The proactive "Wellness" model is based on the belief that we are created with an inherent ability to heal and maintain our health. However we do not live in a perfect world and there are things that "interfere" with our inherent healing ability. It is our job to try and find out what the "cause" or interference is and then attempt to remove it and allow the body to heal itself. There are some basic areas where interference occurs:

1. Structure (posture, trauma/injury) which interferes with proper nervous system communication. This is mostly dealt with in the chiropractic area of practice. However corrective and maintenance care is generally not covered by insurance and that is why chiropractic adjustments are under wellness / alternative care also.
   
2. Toxins and deficiencies which interferes with cells ability to function. Dietary and lifestyle imbalances tend to lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well as impaired ability to rid the body of acidic (toxic) waste. This low grade "metabolic acidosis" impairs the cells metabolism and if left unchecked leads to organ system dysfunction, degeneration and failure. Wellspring services attempt to find the interference and correct it so the body can regain balance. These services include:
• Nutritional and Lifestyle exam and counseling
• Electrodermal Screening
• Ionic Cleansing
• Laser therapy
• Nutritional Therapy
  
3. Stress or more appropriately how we react, think and deal with stress interferes with our cells and nervous system function because it floods the body with chemicals that are also acidic, depleting the body of vitamins and minerals and tearing the body down. This is ok in the proper context, but all too often our body’s reaction to stress is prolonged and unrelenting. To complicate matters there may be underlying "nerve patterns" that were formed in our past that still exist in our subconscious mind. These can also be a constant "stressor" to our body. Services offered to help with this include:

Chiropractic Wellness Care:Maintenance or regular adjustments and massage type therapies to help remove the effects of mental, emotional and physical stress.

Emotional Freedom Technique:A technique taught by Dr. Casperson that will help to teach you how to remove underlying "nerve patterns."
