Overview
During this minimally-invasive procedure, the physician uses heat from radio waves to treat painful facet joints in your lower back. This procedure is also called radiofrequency rhizotomy. It can treat pain that doesn’t respond to medications or to physical therapy.
Urban Zen Integrative Therapy (UZIT) is an alternative and adjunct therapy to traditional medicine. Modalities are designed to help relieve symptoms associated with stress, chronic pain and chronic diseases. UZIT combines restorative yoga (a therapeutic form of yoga- seated or lying- that uses props); gentle movement; soothing touch on or off the body to balance its energy fields (reiki); essential oil therapy with therapeutic-grade essential oils; breathing practices, and body scan meditation. AromaTouch incorporates gentle to moderate stroking of the hands, feet and/or back, using therapeutic-grade essential oils to support the nervous, immune, neuromuscular systems and the body’s stress response.

Dietary supplements is a product that contains nutrients derived from food products that are concentrated in liquid or capsule form. In the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994 defined the term: “A dietary supplement is a product taken by mouth that contains a “dietary ingredient” intended to supplement the diet. The “dietary ingredients” in these products may include: vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, and substances such as enzymes, organ tissues, glandulars, and metabolites. Dietary supplements can also be extracts or concentrates, and may be found in many forms such as tablets, capsules, softgels, gelcaps, liquids, or powders.”
Dietary supplements do not have to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before marketing, but companies must register their manufacturing facilities with the FDA. With a few well-defined exceptions, dietary supplements may only be marketed to support the structure or function of the body, and may not claim to treat a disease or condition, and must include a label that says: “These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”
Functional foods are designed to allow consumers to eat enriched foods close to their natural state, rather than by taking dietary supplements manufactured in liquid or capsule form. Functional foods have been either enriched or fortified, a process called nutrification. This practice restores the nutrient content in a food back to similar levels from before the food was processed. Sometimes, additional complementary nutrients are added, such as vitamin D to milk.

NUTRACEUTICALS
Are products derived from food sources that may provide extra health benefits in supplementation of the basic nutritional value found in the foods we eat. Some products products may claim to prevent chronic diseases, improve health, reduce stress and help with reducing the aging process, and support the structure or function of the body. We only recommend products that are eligible to be listed in the Physician Desk Reference (PDR) book of drugs and supplements.
