At Total Health
Chiropractic we utilize cutting-edge technology to assist
our patients in achieving their maximum health potential.
What is Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic?
Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic is a specialty within the chiropractic
profession that focus’ on the nerves in upper cervical
segment of the spine. The Atlas Orthogonal system is a painless
and safe spinal correction, which restores body balance and
reactivates the body's natural ability to heal itself.
The Atlas Orthogonal spinal correction is barely felt by the
patient. Because of the precise X-ray analysis, a correction
can be made without any forceful movements.
How does the Atlas Orthogonal Technique work?
The AO technique utilizes a light pressure method of specifically
correcting cervical spinal misalignments by using the atlas
orthogonal percussion instrument. This precision form of upper
cervical spinal correction painlessly restores body balance
without any forceful jerking or twisting of the neck or back.
No physical manipulation (twisting or cracking) is ever employed
or needed. The Dr. Cannon’s methods require such light
touches to the defined area, that patients who may expect
a forceful manipulation or cracking sound as part of their
treatment, find it hard to believe that anything effective
has been accomplished. But, their doubts soon vanish as along
with their pain and discomfort.
Are x-rays needed?
Yes. It is important that certain x-rays be made. To see is
to know, to not see is to guess. Dr. Cannon will never guess
about your health. He has had extensive training, and is extremely
proficient at taking the precision x-ray films needed to evaluate
your case. He never requires x-rays, which are not vital to
the diagnosis and treatment of your condition.
What kind of results should you expect?
After your first AO spinal correction, you may experience
a variety of changes within your body. These are due to the
nervous system responding to the structural correction. Symptoms
are a positive sign that healing is taking place.
In order to heal, the body must go through different cycles
of repair, which very often express themselves in some of
the following ways:
• Alleviation of symptoms
• Tiredness or sleepiness
• Muscle stiffness/Soreness
You should not be concerned if the pain changes or moves to
another area of the body. Symptoms may decrease immediately.
However, the amount of misalignment and severity of the condition
will determine the recovery time. Please make the doctor aware
of any and all changes. Remember, pain is a sign that the
body’s nerve system is working; any changes can be part
of the healing process.
How long does an adjustment last?
The accuracy of this procedure affords the patient longer
lasting effects. Thus, one or two adjustments in many cases
are usually all that is needed to get initial results. And
while the Atlas can again lose its proper adjustment, for
most patients the procedure results in far fewer visits than
most other chiropractic techniques. The end result is that
Atlas Orthogonal provides simple, gentle and dramatic results
that translate into greater relief; fewer office visits and
less money spent.
Additional benefits of AO Chiropractic care.
Atlas Orthogonal spinal corrections can help aid in the healthy
growth and development of your children. In many cases AO
spinal care can also eliminate the need for expense medications
and dangerous surgery.

Applied Kinesiology (AK)
Applied Kinesiology (AK), developed by Dr. George Goodheart
in 1964, uses bioenergetic feedback through testing the strength
of various muscles in the body. AK allows Dr. Cannon to evaluate
functional illness, which typically precedes disease. This
highly individualized, in-depth sytem of analysis, is designed
to assess various aspects of a patient's state of health by
evaluating and treating postural and muscular imbalances,
neurovascular and neurolymphatic points, subluxation, cranial-sacral
movement, acupuncture meridians and nutritional status. This
is a highly effective treatment system, which focuses on whole
body care. AK enables health investigation without intrusion.
AK gives insight into the underlying causes and solutions
to many functional health problems.
'One of the biggest benefits of AK is it gives us a tool for
discernment!'

Allergy / Sensitivity Elimination and Reprogramming
Technique (A/SERT)
What is A/SERT? A/SERT (Allergy / Sensitivity Elimination
and Reprogramming Technique) is a revolutionary treatment
system based on the principles of Chiropractic, Acupuncture,
and Applied Kinesiology (Muscle Response Testing).
Dr. Cannon
is a certified A/SERT practitioner and uses a modified version
of this technique based on NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy
Elimination Technique developed by Dr. Devi Nambudripad.)
Dr. Cannon uses this special treatment, in conjunction with
a 10-Step Wellness Protocol, pioneered by Dr. John Brimhall,
to bring about dramatic improvement, and at times even total
elimination of all types of allergies affecting his patient.
This technique is simple, non-invasive and extremely effective.
It is currently practiced by hundreds of health practitioners,
including MD’s, nurses, acupuncturists, chiropractors,
dentists, and, to some extent, allergy sufferers themselves.
How does A/SERT work?
A/SERT is based on the recognition that all things, animate
and inanimate, in our universe have their own specific electromagnetic
fields due to their atomic and molecular makeup, and that
these fields affect each other. This is true of our bodies,
rocks, pollen, mold, peanut butter, flowers, water, in short,
everything on our planet. This electromagnetic energy is associated
with meridians (energy pathways) in acupuncture, chi in Chinese
Medicine, and can be demonstrated with Kirlian photography.
Nuclear physicists can determine the type of atom by its electromagnetic
frequency.
According to Dr. Devi Nambudripad’s research: Your energy
system and brain interpret a particular substance (a diamond
ring, a whole wheat bagel, a peanut, hot water, sun light)
as potentially harmful to your body, and your body reacts.
For other people this same item is totally harmless. Your
energy pathways freeze up as a way of defending the body against
this unsuitable substance. This in turn blocks your energy
meridians and, if this condition continues, the overall functioning
of your body suffers.
A/SERT Diagnostics - Our fingertips are very sensitive to
the electromagnetic energy of substances with which we come
into contact. By placing a sample of a suspected allergen
into a person’s hand, and using Applied Kinesiology
muscle testing, the A/SERT practitioner can determine whether
or not a person reacts “weak” or “strong”
to the substance, i.e., whether this substance causes an energy
blockage in the patient’s body. Such blockages can cause
a wide variety of symptoms, from sneezing and coughing to
chronic diseases such as asthma.
A/SERT Desensitization – A/SERT practitioner simply
stimulates key points along the patient’s spine while
the patient is holding the allergen. The doctor stimulates
certain meridian points, specific organs and lobes of the
brain with a Low Level Laser. A chemical change takes place
in the autonomic nervous system, neutralizing any allergic
reaction to the substance. A/SERT reprograms the brain and
the nervous system, and eliminates your body’s conditioned
response to the 'allergen'.
Environmental medicine has been dealing with hidden allergies
for several decades. With the EM approach you try to avoid
the allergenic substance in your life, you go on a rotation
diet, and maybe you can manage. But with A/SERT you can continue
to have contact with the very substance that made you sick.

Cold Laser Therapy
How does it work?
When the body has an injury the cells are damaged and fail
to function within normal parameters. Low-level lasers penetrate
deeply into the skin and work by restoring this abnormal cellular
function. Physiologic effects include improved metabolism,
circulation and tissue healing. Dr. Cannon uses the Erchonia
Cold Laser therapy protocol to enhance his patient’s
ability to heal various body organs and tissues naturally
from within.
Laser Therapy may be useful to you if you have any of the
following:
• Tendonitis
• Frozen shoulder
• Fractures
• Post-operative wounds
• Sprain-strains
• Scar tissue
• Autoimmune diseases
• Chronic or acute pain
• Wound healing
• Arthritis
• Migraines
• Disc Herniation
• Minor nerve damage
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Heavy metal detoxification
Where is Cold Laser Therapy being used?
The Erchonia cold laser device has gained recent FDA approval
for the non-surgical treatment of neck and shoulder complaints
and is being used widely in the NFL and by the USPS tour de
France team chiropractor. The beneficial effects of the Erchonia
laser are currently being researched by leading plastic surgeons
for use in liposuction procedures.

What is the Energy Balancer 305? (EB 305)
The EB 305 Footbath Unit was designed and developed to restore
the body's energy and balance while facilitating its natural
detoxification process:
• It has been proven in clinical trials to balance and
restore the body's electromagnetic energy.
• It uses state of the art research and development
to provide a form of energy that the body can readily use.
This type of energy is called Bioenergetic/Life Energy.
• It also has the ability to run both positive and negative
ions. The advantage of this type of bipolar unit is the ability
to alter the body's pH by using positive or negative charges.
These charges assist the body in every aspect - from its ability
to detoxify to its ability to digest.
• The average treatment time is just 18-23 minutes due
to an increase in EB ion production making the treatments
more time and cost effective.
How the treatment Works.
The EB 305 Footbath creates energy by altering the electron
and proton load in the water to create an electro-magnetic
environment, or "Bio-energetically" altered water
environment in which the patient places his or her feet to
experience the donation of appropriate ions. The donation
of appropriate ions increases the body's energetics, or simply
translated, "life-energy".
Within the human body there are energy channels known as meridians.
These meridians provide a pathway for energy to flow to or
from a particular organ (i.e. liver, kidney, etc.) These pathways
begin or end at points on the feet or hands. A person's current
state of health is determined by how well the energy in the
body flows through those meridians.
Bioenergetics is important because the amount of energy a
person has, and the balance of that energy to contribute to
the capacity of the body to:
1. Problem solve through nerve communication
2. Do its natural healing work
3. Detoxify muscles, tissues, organs and cells
The biological process of energy flow within the body is best
described by the Helsinki Bioenergetics Group, Institute of
Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, Finland who state that
"Living organisms require a constant supply of energy.
In the cells themselves, this energy must be available in
the form of ATP, but the organisms themselves obtain energy
from their environment in other, very different forms, such
as oxygen, carbohydrates, light, etc. This means that living
organisms must be able to efficiently convert energy into
other forms which are useable in the cell."
The EB 305 Detoxification Unit uses direct current and ions
to provide energy that is sub-threshold, meaning that the
patient generally will not feel the treatment. This energy
is very similar to micro current and cold laser therapy, both
of which have been proven to increase and create more cellular
ATP. This increase in cellular ATP allows the cell to work
and detoxify at a higher rate. Increasing the cells' ability
to work at a higher rate will allow the cell to withstand
stressors either physical or chemical. The EB 305 has shown
in clinical trials using electro-dermal scanning to improve,
and balance the body's energy, especially in the detoxifying
systems. The EB 305 also has shown in clinical trials to change
and balance the body's pH. The long-term effectiveness of
the EB 305 detoxification process depends on the other life-enhancing
changes that the patient is willing to make.
What do people experience?
Healthy individuals can expect to feel lighter and experience
a greater feeling of well being from each EB 305 session.
Some people with pain, edema, swollen and deteriorating joints
have reported symptomatic relief from EB 305 sessions. We
are exposed to the greatest toxic load in our planet's history,
and ongoing periodic detoxification is essential to maintain
health and avoid disease. The EB 305 in combination with a
healthy, low stress lifestyle, provides a thorough and efficient
way to maintain high energy levels and long term wellness
EB 305 detoxification accelerates change in the body. Aging
and disease states are characterized by diminishing anabolic
(cell building) capacity, and an increasing catabolic (cell
destruction) capacity. Toxic buildup of cellular waste and
debris is the inevitable outcome of these trends. Reversing
them through whole body detoxification requires nutritional
support, particularly digestive enzymes, trace minerals and
fatty acids, which are involved in the movement and transport
of raw materials in the body.
The EB 305 Footbath Unit promotes healing, and we have seen
fantastic results when it has been used in the treatment of
the various symptoms listed below:
• Pain management
• Arthritic aches & pains
• Burns
• Muscular injuries
• Menstrual problems
• Menopausal problems
• Headaches
• Toothaches
• Increased vitality & energy
• Faster recovery time
• Improved concentration
• Increased perception
• Improved liver function
• Improved kidney function
• Gout conditions
• Deeper-improved sleep
• Reduced fluid retention
• Reduced swelling
• Cramping
• Skin conditions
• Helps open detoxification pathways
