His goal is to help his patients reach a higher level of health and to actualize their potential.

Patient Protocol

Dr. Charles believes health is a process and not an event. Therefore patients seen by Dr. Charles take responsibility in the healing as they learn why their health problem has occurred and what they can do to help stop and reverse the process. He is often asked if he treats conditions such as asthma, lupus, migraines to which he replies, "No, I treat the person with asthma, lupus and migraines." Dr. Charles specializes in helping people with difficult to treat conditions by fixing what he finds wrong through the armamentarium available in applied kinesiology. The typical patient seen by Dr. Charles is the person who:

  • Suffers from a condition that other doctors cannot find the cause and pathology has been ruled out.
  • Has a treatable condition and wants to utilize non pharmacological means of getting relief.
  • Knows that health is a by product of balancing the structural, chemical and mental components of healing.
  • Wants to spend time with their doctor to develop the old fashioned doctor-patient relationship based on trust and respect.

Specialty

Dr. Charles specializes in Applied Kinesiology and has attained his Diplomate, the highest degree possible through The International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK). AK, as founded by Dr. George Goodheart, is the most comprehensive system in integrative health care as it incorporates under its umbrella the many branches of holistic healing including chiropractic, cranial sacral therapy, clinical nutrition, acupuncture, myofascial therapies and more. When diagnosing and healing patients Dr. Charles incorporates the AK triad of health. The triad is represented as an equilateral triangle with structural health being its base (bones, muscles), and the upright sides representing chemical (nutrition, toxins) and mental (emotional, spiritual) health. When a person experiences poor health, there is an imbalance in one or more of these factors.
