A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN HOLISTIC HEALTHCARE

The holistic approach to healthcare is understood to mean that good health is based on the interdependence and proper functioning of all your body systems. The proper functioning is based on the integration of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems as they are supported by nutrition, exercise, rest and attitude. This results in a multidimensional/interdisciplinary approach with the understanding that there may be many different causes to a particular problem requiring the skills of a variety of health professionals.

Our expertise in the treatment of the spine as well as the upper extremity (shoulder/elbow/wrist/hand) and the lower extremity (hip/knee/ankle/foot) enables us to treat a diversity of problems. The relationship of a problem in the lower extremity due to the lower back or a problem in the upper extremity due to the neck has been well documented. The knowledge of these relationships has allowed us to treat such problems as the twisted ankles of joggers or racquetball players, carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow, as well as the traditional problems such as lower back pain, headaches, arthritis and scoliosis. This knowledge coupled with good "old fashioned" caring has allowed Dr. Forman to create a truly special place for healing.

Dr. Forman has created the most comprehensive program for personal transformation that has ever been put together, The Chrysalis Program. The Chrysalis Program is a blend of eastern traditions and western holistic approaches. The eastern traditions include yoga, tai chi, Qigong and breathing techniques. The more traditional western holistic approaches include Chiropractic treatment, massage therapy, sound nutritional principals for an anti-aging/anti-inflammatory lifestyle, cardiovascular exercises, strength training, flexibility and relaxation exercises. This program will help you achieve your personal goal, whether it’s weight loss, improved health or increased energy and vitality.

Dr. Forman is also available for lectures at your community organization.
