TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH
Born Clinic healthcare professionals believe that every patient deserves to be in control of their health. For close to 40 years, we have focused on integrating the best emerging practices with tried-and-tested techniques from conventional medicine to uncover the root causes of our patients' symptoms.
COMMON CONDITIONS BORN CLINIC HELPS MANAGE
Chronic Allergies
An immune response to allergens like food, inhalants, insects/animals, medications, and synthetics. Common symptoms come and go but include obesity, headaches, joint pain, skin rashes, sinus problems, depression, and fatigue. Treatment for chronic allergies usually begins with food sensitivity testing followed by the elimination of reactive foods for 60-90 days.
Chronic Pain Syndromes
Pain is part of the body’s defense system against injury—it brings our attention to the need to protect ourselves. Chronic pain occurs when this system is working incorrectly, either by sending pain signals in the absence of damage or threat, or by exaggerating the signals it sends in the presence of an enduring or old injury. Pain takes many forms, including headaches or migraines, lower back, cancer, or arthritis pain, neurogenic pain (which results from nerve damage), or psychogenic pain (pain occurring without any visible sign of damage or past injury).
Diabetes
Diabetes is a condition in which the body is unable to correctly utilize sugar. Nearly 10 million Americans live with it, although 1 in 4 are unaware of their condition. Despite the lack of a cure, physicians at Born Clinic help patients manage the condition by utilizing traditional medical treatments supplemented by dietary controls and chelation.
Heart Disease
Heart Disease is the leading cause of death is the United States. The most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD), which affects the small vessels that supply blood to the heart itself, and is the major cause of heart attacks. There may be problems associated with other systems of the heart, including arrhythmias (which affect the electrical conduction system and cause the heart to beat irregularly), heart valve disease, cardiomegaly (increase in heart size that affects its ability to pump blood), and heart failure. While heart disease can be deadly, it is also preventable in most cases. For patients with a heart condition, adopting healthy habits can go a long way in preventing its progression.
Patient Experience
At Born Clinic, we are passionate about empowering our patients to have more control over their health, and challenge the idea of a “one-size-fits-all” model of medicine. Those under our care can expect their appointments to include detailed health intakes supported by up-to-date laboratory testing, and a focus on treatment and prevention through a prescribed combination of conventional medicine, pharmaceutical grade supplements, therapeutic diets, detoxification programs, and osteopathic manipulations.
