Many of our patients have previously been told by physicians there was nothing wrong with their health according to their tests. They may have also been told their health problems or symptoms were related to “nerves.” The patient usually winds up getting a pain pill or tranquilizer regardless of their problem. Many patients over the years with chronic illnesses have seen multiple doctors and have been asked by their doctor to consult a psychiatrist. Many patients have done so without the desired results. The implication of this is that since the doctor is not alleviating the symptoms of the patient’s primary complaints, the pains, or the condition, it must be on a psychological level rather than a biochemical or physical one. Unfortunately, we find that many patients have gone through the very same so called “health process” with very little results. At our clinic, after a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, we do find significant psychological factors involved in patients’ chief complaints or illnesses. However, we usually find them as an after effect due to the primary biochemical or physical abnormalities that existed first, which had previously been undetected and misdiagnosed.

At the Western Oklahoma Center for Health and Wellness, our doctors are specifically educated in the field of alternative and physical medicine. They have many hours of continuing education in the newest field of holistic and preventative medicine techniques. With the sophisticated and sensitive testing methods available today, the degree of “health loss” can be measured long before you develop a disabling illness. This allows us the earliest detection of the patient’s chief complaint and correlates the patient’s symptoms in order to plan a program of prevention, before the onset of significant disease. We find that with early intervention and reducing known risk factors, most health catastrophes could be prevented.

Many of the newer diagnostic tests and equipment used in the field of alternative and preventative medicine are employed at the Western Oklahoma Center for Health and Wellness. Evaluating a person’s health requires a logical approach, beginning with a thorough diagnostic history. Diagnostic procedures are followed in a sequential fashion, similar to putting a jigsaw puzzle together, until we can see the overall picture of YOU as a totally functioning individual, and where YOU need to be at an optimum state of good health.

A brief description of some of the testing procedures and treatment follow. Some or all of the treatment procedures may be ordered on a patient, depending on information gained from their health history, examination, and initial visit.
