Focus Areas
-
You will learn about the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), or the “fight-or-flight” system that is responsible for mysterious symptoms that commonly do not respond to conventional medical approaches. Dr. Barnum educates patients on how the injuries/traumas/surgeries accumulated throughout a person’s lifetime can affect the body’s inherent healing mechanisms.
-
We work with patients who have struggled with pain lasting 3 months or longer, utilizing alternative approaches that do not involve steroid injections, invasive procedures or surgeries.
-
We treat patients who have been acutely injured/struggled with pain lasting 3 months or less. When addressed sooner, this not only helps people get back on their feet quicker, but can help prevent the pain from becoming chronic.
-
We team up with athletes of all levels, from professional athletes to young children. Dr. Barnum has helped many athletes return to play quicker and avoid long-term injuries.
-
A highly underdiscussed topic is how surgical procedures can create long-term trauma memory/restricted circulation to various parts of the body.
Dr. Barnum especially utilizes Neural Therapy to restore flow to surgical scar sites and prevent trauma memory in future scar sites. He combines this with OMT to further reset the nervous system and improve blood flow/lymphatic drainage.
-
We treat children of all ages, addressing head-to-toe bodily conditions as young as the first few days of life into the teenage years. Dr. Barnum utilizes Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment to accelerate bodily healing, disrupt/prevent pain, and correct postural imbalances.
He can also use Neural Therapy on older children to disrupt the most common injuries that can plague them into adulthood if not adequately addressed.
-
Also known as “muscle testing”, this eastern-style form of applied kinesiology can be used to help assess which injury/trauma/surgical sites are being prioritized by the “fight-or-flight” nervous system. This approach helps with diagnosing when a more “outside-the-box” location is disrupting another site (e.g., an abdominal surgical scar causing low back pain).
-
Did you know that pain and fear share similar connections in the brain? We will explore concepts like these together, as mindset plays a key role in bodily healing.
-
It wasn’t until Dr. Barnum learned about the field of Holistic/Biological Dentistry that he could fully treat the whole person. Oral health can significantly affect chronic pain, organ/bone/joint health, and cancer.
We work in conjunction with holistic dentists to investigate mysterious cases that conventional approaches have not been able to solve.
-
We are here to debunk common myths about proper foot health.
In conjunction with Dr. Barnum’s unique in-office approach, you will learn about how to look for the proper shoes and make natural lifestyle adjustments so that your feet do not compromise your quality of life.
