Neurology

The Central Nervous System, which resides within your skull and spine, is the part of a human body that coordinates voluntary and involuntary actions, and transmits signals to and from different parts of your body. These mental impulses of vital energy are also responsible for growth, repair, and healing in your entire body. In order to achieve optimal health and bodily functions, the nerves have to communicate between the brain and body in an environment that’s free of interference. At ICON, we provide both diagnosis and treatment. Our goal is to create this environment by giving specific spinal adjustments.

Anatomy

Gonstead practitioners use full spine radiography to analyze your spinal structure for misalignment. The bones in your back fit together so that the nerve supply produced in your brain may filter down your spinal cord and out over your nerves. Misalignment of spinal vertebrae or disks can cause irritation to the nervous system and result in uncomfortable symptoms. At ICON, we strive to get the structures of your spine in the right alignment so that the nerve conduction between your brain and the rest of your body can be transmitted without interference. This enables optimal growth, repair and healing.

Nutrition

What you put in your mouth has a direct relationship to your mental and physical well-being. Foods and supplements provide the energy and nutrients you need to be healthy. Foods are medicine. Anabolic foods enhance your vitality and repair. Catabolic foods burn up more calories than they supply. A poor diet may cause health problems while a healthy diet gives your body a favorable balance of essential nutrients vital for your well-being. At ICON, we do advanced testing to figure out the toxicity level and nutrients deficient within the body and rebalance them to achieve a natural healing environment.

ICON’s Approach to Revitalize Your Health

Because Your Life Matters

Chiropractic Care

The Gonstead technique emphasizes the importance of finding the cause of a problem rather than chasing the symptoms. Gonstead practitioners go through extensive and rigorous training to recognize and correct misalignments of the spine which can cause pinching or inflammation of nerves. Gonstead Chiropractors go beyond spinal assessments by conducting a thorough analysis of the entire structure of your spine.

Functional Medicine

We consider your story, history, physiology and lifestyle to get a holistic understanding of the factors affecting your health. We focus on disease prevention through nutrition, diet and exercise. Using the latest laboratory testing and other diagnostic techniques, we identify what’s needed to get you back to optimal physiology. Natural remedies include: nutraceuticals, supplements, lifestyle changes, therapeutic diets, detoxification, and stress management techniques.

Balance Therapy

In order for the body to function properly, the muscles, joints and neuromuscular system need to work together. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is an effective form of rehabilitation to increase your range of motion. We apply stretching techniques to targeted muscle groups to help you enhance your active and passive range of motion. This also helps to improve your motor performance, muscle strength and coordination.

High Performance

We provide individualized treatment programs to tune your body for peak performance and health. Athletes require efficient and integrated systems to achieve high performance. We help you understand the best way to fuel your body and optimize your energy production. Strengthening your body is one of the most important elements of injury prevention. We help you remove interferences so that your body can function at its optimal level and heal itself.

Essential Oil Therapy

Essential oils are distilled from leaves, fruits, woods, seeds, bark, flowers and other parts of various plants. They have therapeutic properties that can help heal your mind and body. Essential oil formulations encourage the release of endorphins. This can aid cognition, improve memory and alertness, balance mood swings, and speed up recovery. Essential oils have both aromatic and medicinal properties infused with life-changing benefits.

Health & Wellness Education

To be well, you need to be aware of healthy life choices related to eating, moving, thinking and sleeping. It’s important to consider social, emotional, nutritional, physical and safety factors in order to get a holistic perception of what’s impacting your health. Educating you about your condition empowers you to take charge of your personal wellness. This leads to greater success in your treatment, and a better sense of well-being that can transform your life.

My teenage son who is born with asthma has been seeing Dr. Wu for about half an year. The weekly session with Dr. Wu has been instrumental in my son's ability to enjoy a more active life without relying on his inhalers.
