Holistic Healthcare

Dr. Gary Hulin successfully practiced dentistry for more than 12 years before he became involved in holistic health and alternative health care. He is experienced in craniosacral therapy, which he has been utilizing since the early 1980s. Dr. Hulin holds both D.D.S. and B.S. degrees from the University of Minnesota, and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Northwestern College of Chiropractic.

 

Some of the treatments Dr. Hulin uses in his practice include:

 

Chiropractic:  A health care profession whose purpose is to diagnose and treat mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system with the intention of affecting the nervous system and improving health.

 

Craniosacral Therapy:  The emphasis in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is to help resolve the trapped forces that underlie and govern patterns of disease and fragmentation in both body and mind. The intention of treatment is to facilitate the body's own self-healing and self-regulating capabilities.

 

Myofascial Release is a form of bodywork which includes structural assesments and manual massage techniques for stretching the fascia and releasing bonds between fascia (connective tissue), muscles, and bones with the goal of eliminating pain, increasing range of motion and balancing the body.

 

Applied Kinesiology is an interdisciplinary approach to health care which draws together the core elements of the complementary therapies, creating a more unified approach to the diagnosis and treatment of functional illness. It uses functional assessment measures such as posture and gait analysis, manual muscle testing as functional neurologic evaluation, range of motion, static palpation, and motion analysis. These assessments are used in conjunction with standard methods of diagnosis, such as clinical history, physical examination findings, laboratory tests, and instrumentation to develop a clinical impression of the unique physiologic condition of each patient, including an impression of the patient's functional physiologic status. When appropriate, this clinical impression is used as a guide to the application of conservative physiologic therapeutics.

 

BioSET™ (Bioenergetic Sensitivity and Enzyme Therapy) is a natural holistic health care system that is based on energetic medicine and meridian therapy to prevent and resolve chronic health conditions.  BioSET™ is comprised of three branches of healing: enzyme therapy, nutrition and proper diet; organ specific detoxification; and a revolutionary non- invasive mostly permanent allergy desensitization technique.

 

Bach flower remedies are dilutions of flower "essences" developed by Dr.Edward Bach. They are similar to homeopathy in many respects and form a part of alternative medicine. Practitioners feel the "energetic signature" of the flower can be transmitted to the user and affect a person's psychological state.
