Reiki - Hands on healing
Reiki is an energy healing practice originating from Japan. While the patient rests comfortably on a table, the Reiki practitioner allows healing energy to flow to the patient's body. During this treatment, the brain enters an alpha brain wave state, the brain wave state where the body repairs itself. Reiki can be used for general relaxation, emotional balancing or to address specific physical, mental or emotional patterns.
Qi Gong
Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese health care system that integrates physical postures, breathing techniques and focused intention. Qi is pronounced "chee" and is usually translated to mean the life force or vital-energy that flows through the body. The second word, Gong, pronounced "gung", means accomplishment, or skill that is cultivated through steady practice. Together, Qi Gong means cultivating energy. It is a system practiced for health maintenance, healing and increasing vitality. The gentle, rhythmic movements of Qi Gong reduce stress, build stamina, and enhance the immune system. It has also been found to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic and digestive functions. Like any other system of health care, Qi Gong is not a panacea, but it is certainly a highly effective health care practice. The slow gentle movements of Qi Gong can be easily adapted and can be practiced by all age groups.

Breast Thermography Services
Irvine Spine & Wellness Center is pleased to provide you Breast Health Screening known as Breast Thermography. It has been known that the human body is thermally symmetrical and our normal thermal patterns are constant and repeatable. In the presence of disease and abnormality, this symmetrical thermal pattern changes and can be detected by Thermography. No extra charge!
What is Breast Thermography?
An FDA approved, painless, radiation-free, affordable clinical imaging procedure to assess the unique heat patterns of breasts to identify suspicious patterns in the breast and monitor changes over months and years.
Who performs the test?
Brenda Witt is the thermography technician trained and certified by the American College of Clinical Thermology at Duke University.
Who reads the images and reports?
Images are sent to an interpretation service who employ medical doctors who are all board certified as thermologists by the American College of Clinical Thermology at Duke University. These doctors have many years experience and are able to ask for second opinions whenever necessary.
Does it replace mammography?
Breast Thermography works together with mammography and can detect changes months or years in advance. When the thermology results indicate abnormality, there may be a need for mammography for further clarification. While mammography is a valuable tool to detect cancer, most mammograms are negative while exposing women to radiation.
Can women with fibrocystic disease and implants benefit from Thermography?
Absolutely YES!
Does my insurance cover this clinical procedure?
No, unfortunately the same way that your insurance does not cover your vitamins and supplements, nor does it cover for your organic foods and bottled water, this service is not a covered service. We hope that you value your health and consider this valuable tool an investment in your health.
Who should I call to make an appointment or ask more questions?

Computerized Foot Biomechanics and Weight Distribution Scan
A balanced body is a happier body! A body that's out of balance can be causing you pain anywhere from your feet to your neck. We provide custom-made Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers which are specially made for your feet and your unique postural condition.
The joints in your body that bear weight (ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, low back, neck) are like links in a chain. If your feet aren't balanced, every joint (and the connecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments) above may become injured over time due to unnatural twists and strains on your body. Pain may occur because of these postural imbalances.
Additionally, every time your feet hit the ground, a shock wave travels through your body. If your feet are balanced, they can absorb much of that shock. But if they are not in balance, over time the shock can cause you additional stress and strain.
It is important to make sure your feet are giving you the proper support and protection your whole body needs. If they're not, it's time to ask us whether Spinal Pelvic Stabilizers can help you. Talk to us for a personal consultation.
