Your Treatment Plan
At Saks Wellness Center
Consultation
Meet with a provider to discuss your health concerns, medical history, and goals. Intake forms are reviewed, and expectations for your visit are outlined.
Examination
A comprehensive assessment using advanced diagnostic techniques to pinpoint the root cause of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment approach.
Report of Findings
Your provider reviews the exam results, explains their significance, and presents a detailed report with tailored recommendations for treatment.
Treatment Plan & First Treatment
Based on findings, you begin a customized treatment plan that may include chiropractic care, massage therapy, laser therapy, or nutritional guidance.
Follow-Up & Ongoing Care
Regular visits are scheduled to monitor progress, make necessary adjustments, and ensure long-term health improvements.
We focus on true healing by addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms.
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.

Personalized nutritional plans based on your body’s responses
