SERVICES:
Spinal Rehabilitation Therapy
Advanced Medical Health Clinic offers computer-controlled spinal rehab for all
areas of the back, including the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine. Advanced Medical
Health Clinic provides an opportunity
for each person to experience the positive results of rehabilitation
through various insurance plans, such as: Medicare, United HealthCare, BSBS, MAXCARE, Tricare, etc.
In our effort to give all potential patients the best services, we honor all insurance plans, including Capital Health Plan.
Your co-pay is $20 to $50 per session depending on the details of your insurance
coverage.
In addition, we have cash plans at affordable costs. The normal fee is now $105
per session and we offer flexible discount plans to help each
person’s budget, whether one wishes to pay up front
or on a monthly basis.
The most effective
program based upon 15+ years of research and experience
is normally 20 sessions of Advanced Medical Health Clinic therapy to be
given within 6 contiguous weeks, with the first 8 sessions
given within the first two weeks of treatment. Depending on the patient, the number of sessions
may vary from as little as 16 sessions to as much as 24 sessions. Our most successful patients,
elect to have a treatment session every day including Saturday/Sunday and typically finish with the least number
of therapeutic sessions. This is due to the body participating through its normal neuromuscular
re-education mechanisms. Basically, the more you exercise muscles, the more responsive they become.
As a professional and innovative clinic, we require the commitment of 16 sessions in a signed contract
before we start treatment. This is necessary for our system and our professional staff to
truly help you and for you to sustain long lasting results. We have flexible payment methods and schedules, if necessary.
Physical Therapy
Advanced Medical Health Clinic delivers a fully integrated spinal rehabilitation program using computer-controlled
traction techniques. We realize the importance of in-depth professional
guidance of a well-trained physical therapist. Our innovative program is a combination of hands-on physical therapy and
computer-controlled traction. Thus, we offer physical therapy sessions and basic management
of our spinal rehabilitation program tailored for each patient, and at no extra cost to the patient. On your first
visit the physical therapist will test your physical characteristics, including range of motion and strength
tests for various muscle groups. These stats will be documented and cross-checked during and at the end of
the treatment program. You will be assigned an innovative physical therapy program which is right for you. In general,
treatment programs vary based upon "recency" of injury/back problem and your current level of physical/muscular "fitness".
In addition, we highly recommend that each patient get a follow-up MRI
to validate that identified problem areas have been significantly improved. If directed by you, a summary report will
be sent to your doctor at the end of your treatment program documenting the before and after treatment
conditions/results.
Low Level Laser Treatments, also known as Cold Laser Treatments
Advanced Medical Health Clinic makes available a clinical low level laser technology. We offer
multiple wavelengths with penetrating depths of 3/8" to 1 1/2". The Cold Laser is well known within the Health Services community for
effective treatments in healing wounds much faster than unassisted therapies. The first cold lasers uses date back to 1972.
It is backed by thousands of clinical studies supporting wound healing and neck/shoulder pain relief. The Cold Laser can effectively be used
to reverse Carpal Tunnel Syndrome after the patient becomes qualified based on a special nerve conduction test. Cost of a single
cold laser treatment is $40. Typically, a patient only needs 3 to 6 treatments to heal an affected area. The proper protocols for effective use
of clinical-strength cold lasers determine effective results. If you are considering using LLLT (cold laser) for musclosketetal tissue, the wavelength
must be either 808nm or 830nm. The red light cold laser is typically 635nm and is only effective for superficial injuries (i.e., less than 1/2" in depth from the
surface of the skin. The penetration range of an effective "clinical" cold laser is no more than three inches and is ineffective when not applied directly to the skin.
The basic physiological effects of laser light include: 1) increased cell membrane
polarization and permeability; 2) increased ATP production and respiratory chain activity; 3) increased enzyme activity; 4) increased collagen and epithelial production; 5) increased
capillary formation; 6) increased macrophage (immune) activity; 7) analgesic effects due to elevated endorphin production, electrolytic nerve blockage, and improved blood and
lymph flow; 8) anti-inflammatory effect due to improved circulation and accelerated tissue regeneration; and 9) increased production of anti-oxidants. Advanced Medical Health Clinic
is a member of WALT (World Association of Laser Therapy, http://www.walt.nu).

Joint Pain treatments and holisitic medications.
For knee and should joint problems, we require an MRI before possible treatment. The analysis of the MRI is at no charge to
the patient. Just fax us your MRI with your name and phone number. After you get our analysis, we will schedule an appointment
only if we can help. Our solutions to joint pain problems are non-surgerical.
We have joint pain solutions which relieve knee pain, shoulder pain, arthritis and symptoms of bursitis. The Cold Laser can effectively be used to reverse Carpal Tunnel Syndrome after the patient becomes qualified based on a special nerve conduction test.

Therapeutic Touch
Therapeutic Touch (TT, Krieger-Kunz Method of Therapeutic Touch): A derivative of the laying on of hands.
Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N., and Dora van Gelder Kunz, a clairvoyant born in the Dutch East Indies,
initiated TT in 1972.
Nursing professor emerita Dolores Krieger is the author of Accepting Your Power to Heal: The
Personal Practice of Therapeutic Touch (Bear and Company, 1993), Foundations for Holistic Health Nursing Practices:
The Renaissance Nurse, Living the Therapeutic Touch: Healing As a Lifestyle, The Therapeutic Touch: How to Use Your
Hands to Help or to Heal (Simon & Schuster, 1992), and the Therapeutic Touch Inner Workbook: Ventures in Transpersonal
Healing (Bear and Company, 1996). TT theory posits chakras and manually transmittable human energies. TT has been taught in over 100
countries as well as in the United States. Today, TT is taught in hospitals and health centers worldwide and is most
commonly practiced by nurses. Many hospitals have TT programs for their staff and geriatic patients.
Our charge is only $35 per treatment. There are numerous research articles supporting Therapeutic Touch for pain, stress and
anxiety reduction, as well as showing TT to be effective for reducing or eliminating sinus and migraine headaches.
THINGS YOU
NEED TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING THE COMPUTER-CONTROLLED SPINAL REHAB TREATMENT PROGRAM:
1. Your physician has evaluated your condition and overall
health. Your medical history, as well as your spinal studies
will also be reviewed by the Advanced Medical Health Clinic's physician
to determine just how this program will be beneficial to
you.
2. Before entering the program, Advanced Medical's physician may
require further tests, X-rays or MRIs to be taken to more
accurately identify the damaged nerves that need to be treated.
3. This program normally involves 20 treatments of 45 minutes each.
They must be scheduled on a daily basis for 5-6 weeks with
a minimum of 4 treatments per week. Your conviction to maintain
this schedule is of utmost importance, since the full and
successful treatment is dependant on each therapeutic session
being separated by one or two days maximum.
4. It is highly common for patients to feel much better
with only a few computer-controlled treatments. Remember,
the full number of 20 sessions are required to achieve permanent
rehabilitation and restoration of your spinal discs. Clinical
studies and the experience of our back pain specialists
have clearly demonstrated that completion of the 20 sessions
in a timely fashion results in the most satisfying results.
5. During this treatment program, you may participate in
normal daily activities, but you must avoid any strenuous
or heavy work.
6. During this treatment program, do not take receive any
other back treatments from some other medical facility.
This includes, clinical physical therapy, chiropratic, acupuncture,
etc. without the strict guidance of Advanced Medical's physician
and medical staff.
7. If you have been referred to Advanced Medical by your primary
care physician, remember that you are still a patient of
your primary doctor. While we will keep your doctor abreast
of your treatment progress and eventual outcome, he/she
is still to be consulted by you regarding other medical
conditions you may have, as well as renewal of any medications.
