We also
sell our proprietary Pristine Alkaline Magnesium Bicarbonate Water.
First we use a industrial reverse osmosis unit to clean
water. Then we run the water through an industrial deionization
cartrage, this cleans the water down to laboratory grade water
(everything is non-detectable). Next we inject our proprietary pharmaceutical grade
Magnesium Bicarbonate into the water (for high
alkalinity) it then goes into a 300 gallon holding tank. We then chill the water to 4 degrees
Celsius, next we aerate the water and run it through a
Viktor Schauberger
copper vortex tube, we then run it through our duel left
vortexing unit @50 gallon per minute into thousands of pounds of
rocks from the local San Juan River, lodestone, tourmaline,
crystals, and other precious stones. Basically, it is a
miniature river.
Dr.
Skinner’s interesting and varied background in athletic
coaching and chiropractic broadens the scope of his
insight and understanding of how the body functions and
what it takes to attain wellness, stay fit and maintain
health. His practice offers all aspects of chiropractic
care specializing in the treatment and rehabilitation of
conditions of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Dr.
Skinner is known for his personalized treatments and his
ability to educate, motivate and coach individuals, who
seek honest conservative solutions to their health
problems and a real desire to improve their quality of
life.
If you
suffer from pain, you know that it can affect every
aspect of your life. Fortunately, there are new cutting
edge treatment options that can help you become
pain-free again. If you’re considering pursuing a
non-surgical, non-drug approach to treating your pain,
GC Wellness Center‘s professional and knowledgeable
staff can help.
We believe
in a three-prong approach to pain relief and wellness
which includes bodywork treatments, balancing your pH
and purifying your body with alkaline pristine water
(Pristine Hydro), and helping the body heal and protect
itself with nutritional superfoods.
Featured
modalities for bodywork include our Avicenna Class IV
laser treatments, Migun Massage Beds with far infrared,
and our highly trained and experienced professional
staff.
The
Avicenna Class IV laser is not a “cold laser” or
low-level laser; it is a high-power therapeutic laser
with the ability to simulate accelerated healing energy
within a continuum of treatment depths from superficial
to extremely deep. This enables the accelerated
treatment of superficial wounds, calcified (hard/stiff)
muscles, fibrotic adhesions, sprains/strains, arthritis,
and deep intraarticular tissues (insides of joints)
unreachable by any other modality. Clinical studies have
shown that laser therapy helps to accelerate tissue
repair and cell growth, heal wounds faster, reduce the
formation of scar tissue, reduce swelling and pain,
improve vascular and metabolic activity.
The
ProAdjuster—A Breakthrough in Healing
Chiropractic
treatments and reorientation of the nervous system can now
be done comfortably, while you sit in an upright position
without any turning or sudden movements. Even newborns as
well as the elderly with osteoporosis can be treated safely
and gently.
The
ProAdjuster utilizes a precise oscillating force with
uninterrupted motion. It is able to increase the mobility of
the spinal segments by reducing or enabling motion in the
abnormal areas. In other words, the ProAdjuster is
“unsticking” the joint. Have you ever seen a woodpecker
tapping in an oscillating fashion on a tree? It is hard to
believe, but you can watch them bore right through the
hardest wood! The ProAdjuster taps in much the same way but
uses soft tips that are comfortable to the human body and do
not create damage.
Dr. Carl Held MD
THE PHILOSOPHY
In chronic pain syndromes there are three factors, problems
with the muscles, with the joints, and with a chemical
imbalance.
That working on two of the three factors will be more
effective than working on only one of them; that working on
all three factors is more effective than working on just
two.
It’s a natural approach- treatments that really work are
treatments that help the body to return to more normal
functioning, and that once the body is functioning normally,
there is no pain.
THE DOCTOR
I am a medical doctor, and am a graduate of Albany Medical
College, upstate New York.
I have completed residencies in both Internal Medicine and
Psychiatry. But I have limited my practice to pain and
stress relief since 1982.
How this came about: Twenty years ago, I set out to find
things that really did work in chronic pain. One by one, as
I began to do these things, and as I learned more, I began
to combine them. I became flabbergasted with the positive
results of combining multiple disciplines, and decided to
restrict my practice to pain relief.

realize thriving health. She coaches during Tui-Na
treatment, laser therapy, and her newest offering "hike and
learns". These valuable moving workshops are how she
educates on optimal lifestyle systems. Patients are assigned
"homework" which will save them both money and time by doing
simple to understand techniques at home with their family
and friends to integrate their new knowledge into everyday
life.

Avicenna’s Class IV laser is not a “cold laser” or Low-Level
Laser. It is a high-power, therapeutic
laser with the ability to stimulate accelerated healing energy
within a continuum of treatment depths from superficial to
extremely deep. This enables the accelerated treatment of
superficial wounds, calcified (hard/stiff) muscles, fibrotic adhesions, sprains/strains, arthritis, and deep intra-articular
tissues (inside of joints) unreachable by any other modality.
Clinical studies have shown that laser
therapy helps to accelerate tissue repair and cell growth, heal
wounds faster, reduce the formation of scar tissue, reduce
swelling and pain, improve vascular and metabolic activity, aid
in immunoregulation, help erase muscle trigger points, and
stimulate acupuncture points on a non-invasive basis.
BENEFITS:
-
Most conditions start to show signs of improvement in just a few
visits.
-
There are no harmful side effects like those associated with pain
medications or surgery.
-
Laser therapy is not habit forming. The results of laser therapy,
for many individuals, have been shown to last for years.
-
Laser therapy is a safe, pain free treatment that only takes a few
minutes per visit.
-
It’s effective. Laser therapy works well for a variety of painful
conditions.

Decompression
Protocol
Non-surgical Spinal
Decompression + Class IV Laser = Relief from back and neck pain!
The GC 4 Health
Chiropractic, Spinal Decompression, and Class IV Laser
Protocol© is a state of the art
system that
relieves
lower back and neck pain by increasing disc space, reducing herniation,
decreasing high intradiscal
pressure. It will
help heal,
strengthen,
and regenerate
ligaments,
tendons, muscles,
and bones. It also helps release soft tissue adhesions and
fibrosis at the deepest level, erasing and
unlocking trauma recording. A GC 4 Health decompression session
typically lasts 45 minutes to one hour.

The GC 4 Health
Deep Tissue Manipulation and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Protocol©
is an innovative
and unparalleled approach to soft and hard tissue repair,
flexibility, agility, and strength.
The GC 4 Health protocol is based on traction and
stretching relating to muscle and joint physiology; the
physiologic properties that synovial joints and muscles have and
how those properties act when subjected to traction,
stretching forces, and deep tissue manipulation.
Our pinning-and-isolating
(with articulation and
instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization) modality with
Class IV laser
application
uses a combination of specific short-level arm deep tissue
manipulations, passive stretches, traction, and specific
articular and postural kinesthetic integrations with our
Avicenna Class IV High Power Laser to obtain a desired outcome.
The specially designed
soft tissue mobilization instruments are
designed to locate restrictions and allow the clinician to treat
the affected area with the appropriate amount of pressure. The
instruments introduce of controlled micro trauma to the affected
soft tissue structure causes the stimulation of a local
inflammatory response. This initiates reabsorption of
inappropriate fibrosis or excessive scar tissue and facilitates
healing activities. The Class IV laser treatment minimizes new fibrotic
scar formation.
We also utilize
non-intrusive modalities in conjunction with
Pilates,
Yoga, and
Active Isolated Stretching.
In conjunction
with chiropractic adjustments, movement education, and our
nutritional program -- GC 4 Health is on the cutting-edge of health
and rehabilitation. We give professional athletes the ability
to push the edge of the envelope.
We use the most advanced techniques and technology to give our
patients the best results in the least amount of time. You will
get better faster.
The GC 4 Health
Protocol©
has been created and developed over a period of 34
years by Glen Caulkins, gerontologist, MT, and Michael
Hartman D.C..

Deep Tissue Body Work
The GC 4 Health Protocol will help diminish or
eliminate trigger points, deep fascial and muscular fibrotic adhesions,
calcifications (calcareous infiltration), restore elasticity
and lengthen restricted fibrous connective tissues. It
stimulates the healing of muscles, ligaments, tendons, and
promotes bone repair. The Therapeutic Laser penetrates deep enough to stimulate “target (injured, damaged) tissues.”
Combine this with the ability to palpate, penetrate,
articulate and treat Musculoskeletal
Disorders with this type of instrumentation and
manipulation surpasses all other release and rehab techniques in use
today.
