At Balance of Life Clinic, we believe in a whole-body approach to healing through complementary and alternative medicine in Medina, Ohio. Instead of simply treating symptoms, we delve deeper to uncover the root cause of health issues and prevent recurring problems. We offer individualized treatment plans designed to complement, not replace, your traditional health care. Our team is dedicated to providing a wide array of services to help you lead a healthier, happier, more productive life.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) helps men and women suffering from low levels of hormones associated with menopause, andropause, and other conditions. Hormone imbalances can lead to obesity, joint pain, headaches, brain fog, fatigue, diabetes, and heart disease.
Plant-based bioidentical hormones have the same biochemical structure as your body’s hormones, so they function the same way in your body as your hormones do. Bioidentical hormones offer a safer alternative to ease symptoms with fewer side effects than non-natural hormone replacement therapy.
Toxic Metal Testing
Toxic metal testing measures the toxic metals in your body, which may then be removed through chelation therapy. Urine testing involves taking a chelating medication and collecting urine for 24 hours. The urine is then analyzed, providing a measurable result of the toxic metal load in your body. If you have any specific questions about how toxic metal testing works, our alternative medicine providers are happy to answer them.
Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy rids your body of heavy metal toxins such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. Treatment involves a series of IV infusions of an amino acid called EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), a preservative found in many of the foods you eat. Removal of heavy metals can ease symptoms of toxic metal poisoning, such as fatigue, digestive issues, mental fogginess and memory problems, joint pain, headaches, and allergic reactions.
Cardiac chelation therapy is used to treat the hardening of the arteries and poor circulation which can cause heart disease and strokes. Edetate disodium, the sodium salt of EDTA, is administered during several sessions, removing calcium deposits, which make up part of the plaque that obstructs blood from flowing to the heart.
Cardiac chelation therapy may also improve cholesterol levels, ease the symptoms of inflammatory diseases, lessen fatigue, boost cognitive function, and decrease complications of diabetes. Chelation therapy should always be administered by an experienced complementary alternative medicine provider.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a process in which a patient lies in a pressurized chamber that contains 100% oxygen. This concentrated oxygen is carried by the blood throughout the body, which helps promote rapid healing of injuries, chronic pain, and tissue damage. HBOT is also beneficial for treating emphysema and COPD and speeds up surgical and wound healing.
IV Therapy
We offer a full range of complementary IV therapies to help you feel your best. Our current IV therapies include:
- Glutathione therapy can reduce inflammation, enhance whole-body health, improve immune function, and provide other positive effects for a range of conditions.
- NAD+ Therapy has anti-aging properties and supports healthy brain function. It can be helpful for people who suffer from memory and concentration problems, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, and many other conditions.
- Nutritional IV therapy such as Vitamin B-12 therapy enhances your whole-body health and treats a wide range of issues.
- Ocular IV therapy is used to treat age-related macular degeneration.
- Plaquex therapy reduces plaque buildup in the walls of your arteries, which can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Plaquex IV therapy can also help improve brain and kidney function and enhance sexual performance.
- Vitamin C IV therapy can boost your immune system and help your body defend itself from harmful diseases.
Treatment for Lyme Disease
Treatment for Lyme disease often involves a combination of IV therapy, ozone therapy, vitamins and supplements, and antibiotics. These treatments can boost your immune system, improve energy levels, and treat infection. Our complementary approach often integrates antibiotics to treat Lyme disease. Recommended treatments will depend on your specific needs and symptoms. Talk to your traditional doctor or health care provider before stopping any prescribed Lyme disease treatment.
Allergy Testing and Elimination
Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques or NAET® is a natural, non-invasive, drug-free solution to eliminate all types of allergies using a blend of selective energy balancing, allergy testing, and treatment. Complementary and alternative medicine modalities such as acupuncture, acupressure, allopathy, chiropractic, kinesiology, and nutritional therapy are used to address underlying issues and mitigate allergic reactions and sensitivities.
NAET® can successfully eliminate adverse reactions to all types of foods, products, chemicals, and environmental allergens. We treat one allergen at a time, so it may take several office visits to desensitize you to mild to moderate amounts of allergies or allergens that cause severe reactions.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy helps stimulate the immune system and optimize the function of antioxidants that protect you from diseases, infections, and signs of aging. A naturally occurring gas made up of three atoms of oxygen, ozone can be administered via IV or intramuscular injection.
Because ozone therapy increases oxygen levels in the blood, it’s beneficial for respiratory disorders such as COPD, asthma, and emphysema. Some other conditions it may help treat include viral and bacterial infections, heart problems, eye diseases, skin conditions, pancreatitis, and cirrhosis. It can ease symptoms of autoimmune disorders, such as chronic pain, inflammation, and fatigue as well.
Photoluminescence Therapy
Originally called Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, photoluminescence therapy helps improve oxygen levels in the blood, increasing overall immune function. In addition to helping stave off fungal, viral, and bacterial infections, it offers benefits such as improving circulation, lowering cholesterol levels, and enhancing the body’s natural detoxification processes. Photoluminescence therapy involves withdrawing 60 ccs of blood through an IV tube and exposing it to ultraviolet light, then returning it to your body to promote healing.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma therapy facilitates tissue healing and can regenerate cartilage in your joints. This therapy is shown to be effective for treating pulled muscles, sprains or ligament tears, knee osteoarthritis, hair loss, and more. It can also reduce pain and stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanisms. Platelets help blood clot, and the cytokines and growth factors in them can help repair injuries and encourage healing.
To perform this therapy, your alternative medicine provider takes a sample of your blood plasma and separates platelets from the other cells in a centrifuge. We then inject the platelet-rich serum into the area of your body that’s being treated.
