Functional Nutritional Therapy
We take a root-cause approach to health by identifying and addressing nutritional imbalances rather than just managing symptoms. One of the key tools we use is Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) — a non-invasive technique that helps uncover specific nutritional needs through muscle testing. This personalized, holistic method supports the body’s natural healing process and is ideal for individuals seeking gentle, effective care.
Key Benefits of Functional Nutritional Therapy
- Identifies underlying causes of illness
- Personalized nutritional plans based on your body’s responses
- Non-invasive, gentle technique (no needles or machines)
- Addresses chronic and minor health concerns
- Supports overall wellness through nutritional optimization
Our Patients Testimonials
Best experience I’ve had for chiropractor care in the area. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended
Dean
Amazing! Sign on the front door says “Pain is not a lifestyle” and after years of struggling with back pain Dr Saks, through nutrition and therapy has given me relief from pain. Can’t recommend them enough.
Ted
I am so grateful for Saks Wellness Center! The front desk staff is the best, and the practitioners are so knowledgeable and caring. They’ve helped with a multitude of issues over the years, and I don’t know what I would have without them.
Jennifer
I’m not a 5 star guy for reviews. But some businesses work hard to earn that and I believe the specialists at Saks go above and beyond. Their neuropathy treatment for my feet has opened up a lot of my life.
Willie F.
I now live relatively pain free and am feeling better than I have in at least 25 years. I cannot say enough positive things about Saks and the team. I will tell anyone who is struggling with medical issues that are not being resolved to give Dr. Saks a call.
