Great Barrington Chiropractor Board-Certified as Internist
 |
Chiropractic internists undergo a training program in internal diagnosis and natural treatments in helping people avoid chronic disorders such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel disease and other digestive disorders that can be prevented by lifestyle changes if caught early enough.
They are trained to detect underlying disorders or imbalances that lead to these problems by investigating possible nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, bacterial, yeast or parasite problems in the gut, genetic factors, heavy metal body burden, hormonal imbalances, lifestyle habits, etc. Chiropractic internists use conventional medical diagnostic tests, specialized functional testing, and integrative medicine diagnostic evaluations.
The focus is on therapeutic methods, which emphasize minimally invasive approaches and minimize risk to the patient. These doctors use treatments such as clinical nutrition, dietary changes, exercise, vitamin and mineral supplementation, homeopathic medicine, botanical medicine, acupuncture, natural hormone replacement, and pharmacologic counseling.
Bronstein is a diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Internists, a designation that requires completing a 300-hour postdoctorate course, passing a national certification examination and continuing education in advanced coursework each year. The DABCI program is recognized by the American Chiropractic Association and certified by the American Board of Chiropractic Internists.
