Advanced Wellness Testing & Internal Inflammation Analysis
FIT Test (Food Inflammation Test)
Chronic nasal congestion and joint pain often start in the gut. The KBMO FIT 176 Test is a patented laboratory test that screens for sensitivities to 176 different foods and additives. Unlike standard allergy tests, this identifies delayed inflammatory responses that may be sabotaging your breathing and energy levels.
- Best for: Bloating, chronic congestion, stomach pain, and unexplained fatigue.

Dry Needling Therapy in Chicago
For deep muscle tension that manual massage can’t reach, Dry Needling provides rapid relief. Our certified therapists use thin needles to target trigger points, releasing tight muscles, reducing pain, and improving blood flow.
Best for: Severe migraines, chronic neck pain, and stubborn muscle knots anywhere in the body.

Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy for Pain Relief
This hands-on technique involves applying firm, targeted pressure to specific “knots” in the muscle fibers. By releasing these trigger points, we can eliminate referred pain—pain that originates in one spot but is felt elsewhere, such as the jaw or temples.
Best for: TMJ dysfunction, tension headaches, and restricted range of motion.

We use medical-grade suction to create space between the skin and underlying fascia. This treatment is highly effective for breaking up scar tissue and encouraging lymphatic drainage.
Facial Cupping: Specifically for jaw tension and sinus relief ($150/hr).
Body Cupping: For systemic inflammation and back/neck relief ($150/hr).
