Services and Techniques

At Life Expansion Center, we take great pride in providing the finest wellness care to our clients. Below is a sampling of the various services we offer in our Pagosa Springs office.

Chiropractic Care

Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) is an advanced, "state of the art" technique that moves you from dependence upon the doctor, to an inner awareness and adaptability. As you develop this internal strategy, your body is able to find the area of stress and self correct, releasing the energy stored in the distorted posture back in to your system for more productive use. This life changing work helps you to break free of the old internal patterning that keeps you from advancing in your health and life, and gives you access to aspects of yourself that allow you to expand your life experience in ways you did not know were possible.

Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. This advanced, non-force method is even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before.

Somatic Care

Somato-Respiratory Integration (SRI) is a form of somatic (body centered) therapy that enhances your ability to find areas of E-motion (energy in motion) that have become stuck. This work helps you to identify the nature and purpose for the energy and to resolve the issues that formed them. This process expands one's ability to be more present in one's life and to better understand the life experiences that helped to shape each of us. 

Nutritional Care 

Functional Endocrinology recognizes that various tissues and organs of the body do not exist in a vacuum but function as an integrated whole. Patterns of dis-ease in the body that are given names in the medical profession are recognized months if not years before they fully manifest in pathological form. This early recognition and understanding of how to restore normal function makes this work the missing link for those that wish to reverse existing health conditions and/or want to ensure the highest level of physiological function available.

Using cutting edge laboratory testing to determine underlying factors, we are able to uncover the "fuel" that is driving the disease processes. Through this identification we are able to remove the fuel and provide specific nutritional and supplemental support to put out the fire, thereby stopping, and in turn reversing, disease states.

Nutritional Status

Biophotonic Scanning is a cutting edge technology that allows us to determine nutritional status by reading the level of caratonoid antioxidant levels in our body tissue. Without proper nutrition and/or assimilation of nutritional supplementation, we do not have the nutritional foundation necessary for effective physiological function. This defficient nutritional state leads directly to improper or incomplete physiological function, disease development and premature aging.

Nutrition Fact or Fiction: There are many nutritional supplements on the market today that claim to have "The Answer" to our nutritional needs. Some are fantastic, some are just fad. So how do you know whether these nutritional companies are providing you with your nutritional needs or just telling you a good story? Biophotonic scanning can help you determine is your supplements are delivering on their promises.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our clients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every client achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.
