THE PROCEDURE

The doctor inserts a small balloon into each nostril and slowly inflates it to gently stretch the sinus passages.   This restores function and allows the Eustachian tubes (inner ear) to drain . 

The procedure usually needs to be repeated several times for the upper sinuses to open and be able to drain.  Once open and functioning,  the maintenance is 3-4 times per year for continued relief.  There is no cutting and no surgery.

FOR THOSE SUFFERING WITH:
  • Inadequate Breathing
  • Snoring
  • Asthma or Allergies
  • Nasal Congestion
  • Migraine Headaches
  • Severe Eye Pressure and Headaches
  • Chronic Sinusitis - Inflamation
  • Dizziness
  • Facial Pain


Many patients have nasal problems and repeatedly try antibiotics, decongestants, or steroid-containing nasal sprays  without adequate relief.

This vicious cycle of sinusitis further narrows the already small drainage openings of the nose.   Sinusitis is an infection or inflammation of the small passages that drain the sinuses that surround the nose, the eyes and inner ear.

Acute sinusitis is triggered by colds, or bad allergies and usually clears up within a month.

Chronic sinusitis means these symptoms last longer than 2 months or regularly recur.

“I was 71 years old and needed to use eye drops for 10 years due to my dry eye condition.  After only 3 stretches, the tubes of my lacrimal ducts opened and I started producing my own tears.  I had not cried for years and with this opening, I cried real tears of joy.  I am 81 now and my eyes still make tears.”

~M.S.  Fort Myers, FL

“After Dr. Altair performed Nasal Specific on me only 2 months, my allergies are eliminated.  With the onset of the spring pollens, I normally had to stay inside, miss 2 weeks of work,  and  wear a mask to get to my car.”

~J.S.  Santa Rosa, CA

“My husband says I am snoring again - time to repeat the process (nasal specific) he likes his sleep better without the sound effects.”

~M.G.   Mat-Su Valley, AK

“My osteopath used to stick his finger in my throat and pull on the Eustachian tube to relieve the pressure on my inner ears. It was very painful.  After N.S. the pressure is always removed - it’s like a new room in the house I haven’t been living in.

CERT - TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE

Attitudes and emotions are believed to account for over 50% of our health and wellbeing.  Our personal perceptions and feelings are part of our emotional history concealed at the cellular level.  These perceptions (or misperceptions) are what we use to form what we hold true… our belief system.  These feelings (perceptions) attach to the organs and joints, spine and energy meridians throughout the body manifesting into pain and disease … they never die.

If these issues are not addressed, they can disguise themselves, causing pain and health problems overtime.  Looking at our perceptions helps us to find the misperception in our belief system, removing the negative emotional attachments, allowing us to heal. Issues like hip, knee or foot pain, back and neck conditions, weight problems, nail biting, low self-esteem, and addictions, are a few of the problems we work with everyday.

CERT is an easy process used to release the negative emotional attachment of our misperceptions, allowing you to heal.  Using breathing techniques, and interrupting nerve patterns (as simple as turning your head), CERT removes blockages throughout our bodies and energy meridians, awakening the pure potential inside you to achieve your highest aspirations.

COMPLETELY PAINLESS

Since 2002, the Erchonia cold laser has gained FDA approval for the non-surgical treatment of neck and shoulder complaints and for severe burns;  it is being used widely in the NFL and by the USPS Tour de France team chiropractors.  The beneficial effects of the laser are currently being researched by leading plastic surgeons to reduce scaring in many types of procedures.

"The bottom line... hot laser cuts ~ cold laser heals"

With the cold / low level laser, normal wound healing is accelerated by 30% as reported by Rebecca Bryant, Cosmetic Surgery Times Special Report July 1, 2004.   Low level laser therapy is used to increase the speed, quality and strength of tissue repair, resolve inflammation, increase range of motion and give pain relief.

“I used the laser for my Alaska allergies starting in January, and this May I am able to go outside and hike and work in my yard without much reaction.  The past 2 years took 6 weeks of wearing a mask and putting ice on my face to simply breath.  Thanks alot.”

~C.S. Willow, AK

“I do not wince then my cat walks around my thighs anymore - the nerves were so sensitive, I had to constantly be on guard not to be touched.  This injury happened 23 years ago and I am healing!”

CONGESTION BE GONE

Allergies from foods and our environment are prevalent for so many families.  Knowing how to neutralize allergy problems has been difficult over the past 75 years with so many new and unusual chemicals being developed.

Allergies can stem from many sources, but most commonly, people have reactions to wheat, gluten, corn, eggs, dairy, and soy products.  In the spring we have our special Alaska glacial silt and volcanic ash, as well as pollens from grasses, trees, flowers, weeds and molds. 

In her own words, Dr. Altair states:

“One of the biggest challenges in my life has been learning how to treat and control my own allergies. They have been with me since before I was 5 years old. I did not outgrow them, as so many doctors told my parents I would.”

“Over the years, many methods have been tried . . . many without much success. The most effective treatment by far has been the use of Low Lever Cold Laser Therapy.”

In our clinic, we have over 1200 test vials to determine the cause of your allergies… i.e. foods, metals, pollens, molds, environmental pollutants, chemicals, etc.

For many, hay fever symptoms keep them indoors unable to enjoy summer activities, their hay fever symptoms last all summer and the first frost in winter is a welcomed relief.

Our method of elimination is easy and inexpensive.  One treatment takes between 15 and 30 minutes.  If you suffer or know someone who does, please give them our information.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO DETOX

Detoxification means removing the toxins that have accumulated in your body because of life style - what we eat, and how much we eat - where we live, breathe, travel to, touch and drink.

Because of poor soil, and poorer diets, dirty air and unclean water, we collect toxic waste in our bodies.  These toxins do not make for a healthy immune system so the immune function falls prey to bacteria, virus, heavy metals, yeasts, and parasites.

At Altair Chiropractic, we utilize many different methods to help you start the process of getting this toxicity out of your body.  We carefully guide you step by step so as not to provoke a “healing crisis”.  This is when too much chemical waste is let go at once and you become very sick usually with flu-like symptoms  lasting from 3-10 days.

Detoxification can take years to accomplish;  it can invite many life changes and challenges. 

METHODS OF DETOX WE USE:
  • Reading labels and eliminating high fructose corn syrup(it blocks the liver function)
  • Suggesting soaking the feet in salt water to encourage drainage through the largest pores in your body
  • Regular therapeutic massage is important for the body to integrate all the modalities we use and is it helps relax the mind
  • Looking at food combining habits and taking steps for efficient digestion
  • Initiating cleanses to clear parasites, fungi, candida overload and other intruders from your body
  • Using the Ionspa to pull toxins from the feet and open the lymphatic system
  • Testing for minerals that might be missing in your diet to make the reactions for good health to immerge
  • Suggesting supplements to boost the system while healing
  • Demonstrating exercises that will encourage cells to dump the toxins
  • We use Erchonia cold laser light therapy for many conditions to clear the tissues on a cellular level
  • Essential oils
  • Heat and cold compresses to aid the lymphatic system
  • Microcurrent Stimulation to open channels that cause pain or are not functioning properly
  • More Therapeutic Massage - Regularity is the key to a healthy life
