My understanding of the work we do is to maintain the patient's physical,

emotional and spiritual health and to keep them functioning at the highest level

possible for their bodies. Once their " condition " is resolved or under

" control " , They are happy to be put on maintenance schedules of treatments once

every 4 to 8 weeks. This helps them to maintain their health and allows for my

continued over sight. It works very well for everyone. I might add I work

in an urban enviornment where my patient's are continually assaulted with an

abundance of stress and polution - which does enhance their need for continued

support.
