All people acquire toxins in our everyday lives. They can come from external sources, through breathing polluted air, eating unhealthy food, or using alcohol and other drugs. Our body also produces toxins through its daily functioning.

Occasionally these substances are not released properly and build up inside the body. These toxins include heavy metals, fats, cholesterol deposits and lactic acid.

This can result in irritation or inflammation of tissues and cells, meaning our organs are not working effectively.

Detoxification assists in cleansing the body by removing these excess toxins. Detoxification removes the build up of unhealthy cells, without affecting those cells that are functioning properly. By removing unhealthy toxins, you can help maintain the balance of your organs and other tissues.

Back to Basics Chiropractic offers several detoxification programs from our naturopath Vicki Vandenhurk working from our Kogarah Clinic.

The Ezy Detox™ foot spa is a quick and simple program which takes 30 minutes once a week. The Ezy Detox™ uses an alternating positive and negative ion charge to draw ions from the body.

The flow of positively-charged atoms attract negatively-charged atoms and draw them out of the body through the skin of the feet. The Ezy Detox™ foot spa has been reported to assist in liver detoxification, promoting weight loss, reducing inflammation and decreasing fluid retention.

Back to Basics Chiropractic also offers liver cleansing and bowel cleansing using specific supplements and powders to assist in receiving optimal results.
