Dr. Christ’s view on various health topics and treatment options

Injury and Pain: “Because prolonged injury and pain disrupts a person’s lifestyle, my aim is to help patients recover their function as quickly as possible through the use of needling therapy.”

Smoking: “I strongly support anyone who wants to stop smoking. There is no doubt in my mind that this powerful action is one of the best things that people can do for themselves. I offer a no-nonsense stop-smoking program that is fast and efficient and helps patients prevent excessive weight gain.”

Skin: “Beauty is more than skin-deep. My approach to skin treatment is based on the Oriental medical system, combined with European methods and techniques, to help create or maintain, a fine-textured, smooth and radiant skin, regardless of age.”

Strength: “It takes a certain level of fitness in order to be healthy. One key issue to good health and to injury prevention is the development and maintenance of appropriate muscle strength. To this end I offer an unconventional strength development and maintenance program.”

Weight: ”I firmly believe that every person has an ideal weight at which he or she feels comfortable, joyful and able to perform at an optimal level. I am passionate about helping my patients succeed in attaining and maintaining their ideal weight.”
