Reading Nutrition Begins at the Waldman Center for Wellness

Most people in Reading are aware that proper nutrition is a part of being healthy, but what is and isn’t nutritious is often confusing. Terms like hydrogenated fats, trans fats, carbohydrates and omega-3 fatty acids are bandied about without much of the public being aware of what they mean. Couple that with contradictory statements and claims put forth by the media and medical community, and what started as confusion has become total bewilderment. At the Waldman Center for Wellness, we not only understand what these and other terms mean, but more importantly we know how they relate to your body.

Our Mission

Our mission is to use nutrients to help balance your body’s unique chemistry, and we use our chiropractic understanding of the human body to help you achieve that balance. We understand the link between headache, back pain, pain in back of your neck and other areas that may be related to a nutritional imbalance in your body. We also know how to use massage and other therapies and techniques to help your body regain that balance.

Customized Nutritional Programs, Massage and Chiropractic Services:

Live a Life of Wellness in Reading One of the ways we determine if your body is in need of specific nutrients is the Nutrition Response Test (NRT). The NRT studies how different energy points on your body relate to the state of health and the energy flowing to your organs. It tests neurological reflexes and pressure points, but there are no needles used. The chiropractor will ask you to hold out your arm, and then he will test its strength by pushing against your arm while holding a reflex point. If your arm goes weak, this indicates there could be a dysfunction of the organ related to that reflex point.

The chiropractor will use the results of this and other tests to compile a personalized nutritional program for you. Your personalized nutritional program will consist of a customized diet, supplements, herbs and lifestyle changes that will be tailored to your body’s specific needs. You deserve to live a life free of fatigue, headache, and back pain and all the other symptoms associated with nutritional or posture inadequacies.

Our doctor may suggest additional therapies such as massage, or exercises that you can do to help your body achieve its balance. At the Waldman Center for Wellness in Reading, we understand the link between chiropractic care and your body's nutritional needs. If you have other symptoms, such as headache, pain in back of your neck and legs, back pain or other conditions that would benefit from chiropractic care, then we can combine your nutrition program with our chiropractor’s treatments. Our chiropractor may suggest massage therapy in tandem with other chiropactor-led treatments to help your body regain the balance it deserves. Reading nutrition starts at Waldman Center for Wellness. Live a life free of back pain, fatigue, headache and pain in back of your neck, and one that is nutritionally balanced!

Welcome to Our Nutrition Practice

Many people find themselves totally confused about what is good nutrition or how it can work for them. When reading today's newspapers and magazines, it's no wonder that people are so confused about good nutrition with all of the contradictory statements and claims put forth -- good fats, bad fats; carbohydrates; vitamins and minerals, everyone seems to have a different opinion. Enough is enough!

In our practice we use nutrition to help balance your body's chemistry, support the systems in your body that are stressed and we ask your body what foods it's sensitive too and what foods it needs to become healthy. We are looking at digestion, liver, gall bladder, the endocrine system, cardio-vascular, mood, immune, urological, musculoskeletal, the nervous system and hormonal function of your body. We then proceed with other physiological testing: Blood Pressure Stress Testing, Zyto computerized testing, and other physiological tests and Nutrition Response Testing.

Nutrition Response Testing

Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) is a method of analyzing your body's nutritional needs. It is a study of how different energy points on the surface of your body relate to the state of health and the flow of energy to the organs of your body.

Analysis is accomplished by testing neurological reflexes. There are no needles used. These neurological reflexes are derived from the part of the nervous system whose job it is to regulate function in the different organs of the body. To test a reflex the doctor has you hold our your arm and he tests it's strength by pushing against it while he holds a reflex point. In a healthy reflex the arm will stay strong. However, if the arm goes weak, this indicates an underlying dysfunction of that organ related to that reflex point. Using this information, along with your other test results, the doctor works out with you your personalized nutrition program.

Your Personalized Nutrition Program

Your Personalized Nutrition Program consists of a customized diet, supplements, herbs and lifestyle changes specific to your body's needs. The nutritional supplements are time tested formulations of whole food concentrates. These whole food concentrates have little in common with over-the-counter vitamins and are available only through licensed health professionals.

Can We Help You?

Long-term experience in a wide variety of cases tells us the first thing we must determine is whether or not you are a "Nutritional Case". You are welcome to a Free Nutritional Screening to determine this. If we find you are not a "Nutritional Case" then it is unlikely that nutrition will help much. However, if we find that you ARE a "Nutrition Case" then in our experience nothing else will help as much. Your first step is a free health assessment.
