Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone imbalances can cause hot flashes, weight gain, night sweats, etc. Many hormone creams, pills, and potions on the market are purchased and used indiscriminately. A more scientific way to deal with the regulation of hormones, however, is to measure their levels in the urine with a 24-hour lab test and then design a nutrition and hormone replacement program to bring the levels to normal. The hormones measured include all the ovarian, adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary hormones, including growth hormone. Those needing hormone replacement are given bioidentical, non-drug formulations that can be filled at a compounding pharmacy. Both women and men can be tested and treated. - learn more

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a healthcare method practiced for over 2000 years. It uses very fine needles placed in channels, called meridians, that run through the body and over its surface. These channels can become obstructed and create disturbances in well-being. Acupuncture can free up the channels, diminish these disturbances, and in some cases, return an individual's health. Acupuncture may be included as part of a comprehensive healthcare program, or simply as its own treatment procedure.
Meridian Health Analysis
Within our bodies is a communication network called the autonomic nervous system. This nervous system coordinates all of the involuntary processes in the body such as digestion, elimination, heartbeat, blood pressure, body pH, respiration, etc. The pathways of the autonomic nervous system were known to Chinese physicians as early as 500 AD. They called them "meridians." These meridians travel over very distinct routes. Each of the 12 meridians originates from the skin surface on either the hands or feet. These origination points are actually the acupuncture points that can be treated by an acupuncture physician. - Learn more
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is the main treatment method within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM is the world's oldest, continually practiced professional medicine. Its written history stretches back over 2,500 years and its practice is probably much older than that.
Although acupuncture was the first Chinese method of treatment to gain wide acceptance in the West, Chinese herbal medicine is quickly establishing itself as one of the most popular and effective alternative therapies in the West. Read more

Thermography
Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging or DITI is a 15 minute non invasive test of physiology. It is a valuable procedure for alerting your doctor to changes that can indicate early stage breast disease.
The benefit of Thermography is that it offers the opportunity of earlier detection of breast disease than has been possible through breast examination, doctor examination or mammography alone.
Thermography detects the subtle physiologic changes that accompany breast pathology, whether it is cancer, fibrocystic disease, an infection or a vascular disease. Your doctor can then plan accordingly and lay out a careful program to further diagnose and/or monitor you during and after treatment. - Learn more
Family Practice
In our family practice, we see walk-in as well as established patients, and generally have a very short wait time, unlike most clinics. We offer everything from minor emergency care to yearly physicals and well-woman care. We have both a Doctor of Osteopathy and an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner available to see you. Whatever your needs, we don’t just treat you and send you on your way. We also educate you on how you can maintain and improve your health.
Heavy-Metal Detoxification Therapy
Pollutants invade the body’s tissue just as they invade the bloodstream. In particular, heavy metals can contribute to degenerative diseases. They can also cause symptoms, such as chronic fatigue, memory loss, insomnia, unexplained tremors, depression, and chronic headaches, among other problems. Ridding the body of these toxic substances may improve a person’s ability to live longer, relieve life-debilitating symptoms, and may even improve a person’s resistance to the effects of some diseases. At LifeWorks Wellness Center, we use Metal-Free™ as one component of our detoxification program.
Anti-Cancer Enzyme Protocol
Dr. George Springer, D.C., has been specially trained by world-renowned cancer nutrition specialist Pamela McDougal to deliver the Kelly Enzyme protocol for cancer patients. This program utilizes high doses of pancreatic enzymes to "digest away" the tumor tissue, along with a specific diet and cleansing program. In our experience, this program, coordinated with medical services and combined with detoxification and intravenous immune boosting therapies, is often helpful in bringing people with cancer a better quality and a prolongation of life.
Nutritional Support
We can assist the body in defending itself against cancer and other chronic diseases through nutritional support and immune enhancement. Dr. Springer is a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, and expert in endocrinology (the hormone system), as well as gastroenterology (the digestive system). He has an in-depth knowledge of the right herbs, vitamins, and other supplements that can help you naturally correct problems in your body. Specific lab tests can reveal what deficiencies you have. Then with the right nutritional support, he can help bring your body back to optimum functioning.
Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system of the body which normally protects us from disease and infection, literally attacks its own cells leading to dysfunction of those tissues. This may be restricted to an individual organ or may involve a particular tissue in different places like nerves, muscles, an endocrine gland or a digestive organ. There are more than 80 types of autoimmune disease and it is one of the most frequent reasons that people visit their doctor. Among the most common autoimmune diseases are Hashimotos thyroiditis, systemic lupus, colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes type 1 and Crohn’s disease.
At LifeWorks, part of the treatment of autoimmune disease may include immunizing the patient to their own blood. In this simple but effective procedure, a small amount of a patient’s blood is taken and mixed with a homeopathic remedy and then is delivered back into the patient. This has the effect of re-programming the patient’s immune system and in many cases, begins the process of improving their symptoms toward recovery.
Health Boosting Infusions & Maintenance Services
You can boost your immune system through several types of intravenous infusions (IV’s). We offer Vitamin C IVs to help increase your resistance to illness and provide anti-viral qualities and Myers Cocktail IVs to strengthen your body by boosting your immune system.
Diabetes
The most important clue to treating diabetes is for the patient to understand his disease. As one connects his lifestyle habits with his condition he begins to see how there might be a way out of the mess he is in. Over time, and with careful monitoring, it may be possible for him to reduce his medication and in some cases, cease it altogether. Our practitioners and dieticians take the time to teach the basics of a healthy lifestyle, which is an important part of recovery from diabetes. You can regain your good health and not just be symptom suppressed. LifeWorks can help you do it. - Learn more
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the body at specific points shown as effective in the treatment of specific health problems. These neuromuscular junction points have been mapped by the Chinese over a period of five thousand years. Recently, electromagnetic research has confirmed their locations. Read more
Neural Therapy
When the body is injured or inflamed, an area of scar tissue can be produced, changing the electrical flow of the nervous system. This restricted flow can cause blood vessel constriction leading to body malfunction. Using Neural Therapy, the injured area where the scar is can be treated to restore normal nervous system function. |
