About...

QSM3 is an innovative, painless, and specialized form of chiropractic care that releases the pressure on the spine and nervous system to restore the body back to balance. It is based on the principle of tensegrity. In relation to the spine, this means that tension is used to suspend our spinal column within the body. The muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc. are what hold the spine in place. When there is trauma to the spine, such as a fall or a car accident, the body misaligns and changes the way the tissues hold the spine in place. Multiple traumas can create multiple misalignment patterns. In addition, in response to each trauma, the body continually adapts and compensates in order to stay upright. These factors place stress on the body structures, causing a variety of problems, including, low back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, TMJ, migraines, nerve pain, and many others. Prior to the QSM3 procedure, a detailed postural assessment is performed using the Posture IQ device. This assessment provides the information necessary to determine the body’s response to trauma as well as the way to correct it, helping you feel and function better.

Energy healing is a holistic practice that involves freeing the blockages of energy flow in the body to promote physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. When our physical, emotional or spiritual body are out of alignment due to emotional trauma, physical injury, toxins, addictions, poor relationships or living an ungrounded, unconscious life, we lack the necessary vitality for life and can become physically ill, depressed, stuck and have difficultly creating a holistically harmonious life. By restoring the proper flow, healing can occur. To achieve optimal health, we need optimal flow in the body.

For many years, Dr. Stern focused on chiropractic work to remove such blockages to flow. For some, that is enough to free the body from chronic pain and other problems. However, for others, there is a more complex picture. Over the last 2 years, Dr. Stern realized that she had the ability to identify and release blockages in the energy field that may be contributing to the physical problem, which has helped make her chiropractic work more effective, particularly for those with complex chronic illnesses that have not found the path to healing.

There are two key procedures that she has been trained in to do this. They are called energetic chelaton and spinal clearing. Energetic chelation is a procedure that is used to clear, charge, and balance the energy field. It involves light placement of the practitioner's hands over the joints and energy centers as she connects the flow of energy from the feet to the head. Spinal clearing begins with chelation from the feet to the hips, at which time the patient turns onto their stomach as parts of the spine are lightly contacted from the lower back to the neck to clear any blockages to the flow of energy. These procedures can be performed as separate procedures or in conjunction with the QSM3 adjustment.
