PORTAGE, Wis., May 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blau Family Chiropractic
in Portage, WI announced that the practice offers FirstLine Therapy as
part of the wellness center’s proactive approach to reducing the risk
for chronic illnesses. FirstLine Therapy is offered by Rachel Seltzner,
the practice’s Naturopath and Lifestyle Educator, in conjunction with
other lifestyle services, including nutritional counseling and weight
loss programs. The program helps prevent and treat chronic health
conditions including heart disease, stroke, metabolic dysfunction,
osteoarthritis, prostate problems, obesity and fatigue. Program
elements include bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) to measure body
composition, a customized weight management and nutrition plan,
nutritional supplements, exercise and stress management.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 133
million Americans suffer from chronic illnesses. Portage chiropractor
Dr. Kevin Blau is working to reduce the incidence of chronic illnesses
in the patients he sees. The chiropractor and his practice, Blau Family
Chiropractic, suggest FirstLine Therapy, a proactive wellness program
that helps patients make nutrition, exercise and lifestyle changes that
lower the risk for chronic illnesses.
“We are proud to offer patients the FirstLine Therapy program, a
proactive approach to losing weight, improving nutrition, and making
lifestyle changes that support whole body health,” said Dr. Blau.
“FirstLine Therapy treats the causes of chronic conditions, not just
the symptoms. By addressing the root causes, we help prevent these
problems from happening in the first place,” he goes on to say.
FirstLine Therapy is a comprehensive lifestyle program that helps
prevent the occurrence of chronic health problems, including heart
disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome and other conditions.
The first step for treatment is a bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA).
This analysis is designed to precisely determine an individual’s
nutritional needs and current deficits, along with body composition and
ratio of fat to lean muscle mass.
“This analysis provides us with valuable insights into a patient’s body
and nutritional needs,” said Dr. Blau. “Whether a patient wants to lose
weight, adopt a healthier lifestyle, or simply look trimmer, we use the
findings from our BIA tests to create a custom treatment program.”
According to Dr. Blau, standard treatment programs cover a 12-week
period and begin with a comprehensive evaluation. During this visit,
patients will discuss their medical history and long-term wellness
goals. The center’s lifestyle educator will then create a custom
treatment program.
“We recognize that each patient has unique wellness needs, which is why
our program is customized rather than one-size-fits-all,” said Dr.
Blau. “We are committed to helping every patient live a healthy life,
and FirstLine Therapy is integral to achieving this goal.”
