Dr. David Kamnitzer Discusses His Work

After over 30 years in the healing arts, I have evolved a way of looking at health and well-being that I would like to share with you. It is called Foundational Health.

Imagine a triangle with sides of equal lengths. Label the sides as follows: Structural, Bio-Chemical, and Energetic.

Each of these aspects contributes significantly to Foundational Health.

Structural aspects of health include alignment with gravity, proper movement patterns, exercise, proper rest, posture, and resting muscle tone.

Bio-Chemical aspects of health include what you eat and drink, your level of toxicity, topsoil quality, drug usage, air quality, ensuring intake of necessary nutrients, etc.

Energetic aspects of health include the impact of thoughts, emotions, attitudes, expectations, beliefs, light, music and sound, electro-magnetic fields of the earth, animals, plants, and other people, as well as the impact of fields emanating from man-made devices such as cell-phones, monitors, microwaves, power lines, and other electronic equipment.

All three of these aspects interact with each other, forming a reinforcing upward or downward spiral of health.

I have discovered that when all three aspects are addressed in a healing program, results are much quicker, more powerful, and longer-lasting.

My work involves the evaluation of and changes in all three areas.I choose modalities and techniques on the basis of efficacy and safety.Each person is treated as a unique individual, and all treatments plans are specific to the person involved.All modalities and techniques are designed to empower and liberate the healing potential within YOU – the patient…

… just waiting for the right context or setting to reveal itself more fully.

Chiropractic is a field of healing that although has ancient roots, took form around the beginning of the 20th century. Its founder, D.D. Palmer expressed a vitalistic philosophy that postulates that their is a fundamental "vital force and intelligence" that generates and permeates all living things (the oriental world often refers to this energy as "chi") -- and that it is the role of the healer to detect and remove the "interference" to this natural flow of Life and Health.

Palmer identified three major categories of potential blockages that he referred to as "trauma, toxins, and auto-suggestion." He was clearly a man ahead of his time, as we can easy see the parallels between these words and such modern terms as "sound structure and posture and movement patterns; proper cleansing and nutritional regimens; and life-supporting beliefs and attitudes."

Today, in practice, some chiropractors restrict their practice to the structural aspect of Palmer's triad of health. Others, such as Dr. Kamnitzer, are committed to offering patients the complete "triad of health" and practice in a much more holistic manner.

Dr. Kamnitzer takes his time with his patients, treating each patient as a unique individual, with a special life-purpose seeking ever-greater expression.

Almost anyone sincerely desiring to improve their level of health can benefit from time with Dr. Kamnitzer. With that being said, common presenting complaints include back pain and stiffness, neck pain and stiffness, headaches, fatigue, digestive disturbances, frequent colds and flus, and "just not feeling right".

Dr. Kamnitzer subscribes to the view that the individual requesting healing is their own healer, and that his role is, in the tradition of D.D. Palmer, is simply to assist in the removal of the physical, chemical, and metaphysical factors that block the natural flow of Life and Love. Once this flow is restored, healing takes a myriad of different forms, according to each individual's priorities and life blueprint.
