Dr. Jeff is wonderful! He has definitely helped me feel better and I am blessed that I found him. He thoroughly listens to you - and consistently works to treat the issue(s) and even goes further by addressing what could be causing the problem. He’s positive-professional- informational! 🌸

I scheduled an appointment with the goal of getting established with a chiropractor for routine care. During my first visit, I shared of what I believed to be an allergy to the cold that had developed. Essentially, even brief exposure to temperatures below 60 degrees would cause welts on my skin. After discussing with the doctor, he believed it was actually due to my sympathetic nervous system. Since being treated at that appointment, I haven’t had a single reaction to cold despite spending plenty of time outside in the cold, even skiing. It’s been several weeks and prior to my appointment, I was having reactions daily for the past 4 years, sometimes even prompted by air conditioning.

If you’re looking for someone who thinks holistically about how the different systems of the body all work together, this is the best place to go.

"Have been having , sciatica pain for a long time, couldn’t take it any more so went through the phone book to look for help as my dr just gave me pain meds, that weren’t helping, so then I found this place, with Dr. Jeff McCloskey. two treatments later, and my pain went from a 10 to a 4. I would definitely recommend him, the price is very reasonable, he takes his time with you and does a thorough consultation and he is a good listener."

Introducing New Massage Therapist, Carri Bullock, LMT, M.Ed, B.S.

________________________________________

Hello friends and patients,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am excited to announce that Carri Bullock has joined my office as a Licensed Massage Therapist. Carri and I hit it off right away (and we are born one day apart! I am one day older, so when she gets to be my age, she will understand.)
I know you will appreciate her passion for massage, for health, and her grounded, Colorado energy.

Mention this email when you call to schedule and receive $10 off your first appointment!

From Carri:
Hello Grand Valley! My name is Carri Bullock.
After growing up in Grand Junction, I have lived in Florida, Alaska, Hawaii, am a former science teacher (with a masters in education) and biologist. I've climbed mountains, languished in the tropics, explored the frozen tundra, swam with manta rays, and managed to make it back to my hometown with all my limbs intact and many stories to share!
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist and owner of Resonate Massage Therapy and am excited to announce the opening of my new office at The Health Institute of Western Colorado.

My specialty is focusing on each individual client's needs and adapting treatment to help manage acute and chronic pain, improve mobility, and reduce stress.

My approach involves combining Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy and massage/bodywork techniques with Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) and DDS Bioelectric Therapy.

My goal is to help my clients identify the underlying cause of pain and/or dysfunction and work with them to provide pain relief, improve movement, and restore quality of life to get them out enjoying the activities they love.

Please call or text 808-264-4347 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Come in and RESONATE!

Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy is customized for each client to identify and treat the source of pain & dysfunction caused by trigger points found in muscles and fascia (the 3-D tissue that surrounds all body structures). It's a system of evaluation, treatment, movement retraining techniques, and self-care education to relieve pain and return the client to full mobility and function. So much of common pain is caused by trigger points, which are a dysfunction of the muscle due to injury, trauma, posture, repetitive motion, misuse or overuse of muscles.
FSM and DDS provide a relaxing, low level current that relieve muscle, joint, and nerve pain, decrease inflammation, remove toxins, release endorphins (the body’s natural “feel good” chemicals), and help your body heal itself at an accelerated rate. Beneficial for new and chronic pain issues, improving range of motion, strength, and sleep, and for injury/ surgery/ sports recovery.
Healthy tissues conduct a bioelectric current throughout the body. This flow of current is disrupted (interference) when your body experiences any kind of trauma, such as injury, illness, inflammation, and stress. The normal charge and frequency of the tissue cells becomes altered causing dysfunction. When bioelectric therapy is applied to damaged tissue it can help restore normal charge and frequencies within the cells allowing your body to heal itself faster.
HSA/FSA accepted.
See you soon!

I hope this email finds you well.
In this issue:
1. Homedics Massager for tight muscles, lymphatic detox and more
2. Headache, Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, other facial and neurological conditions treated with Quantum Neurology
3. Medicare update
After using different hand-held massager type equipment over the last 15 years, "Homedics" is the low cost percussion massager I recommend. My patients are having great success working out tight muscles, trigger points, tender and congested areas of lymphatic stagnation and more.

Though single head, cordless, drill-like devices have become very popular over the last couple of years, in my experience, the corded Homedics devices have greater longevity and durability (at a lower price). The device I recommend is currently retailing for $32.95. Read the rest of my article describing locations on your body where you can use these devices, a link for purchase at Amazon, and additional info on lymphatic stimulation and detoxification at my

The cranial nerves, which exit the brain and feed directly to the eyes, ears, tongue, face, can get overwhelmed and "glitched" from a variety of stressors. Using the Quantum Neurology techniques I learned from Dr. George Gonzales, we are able to diagnosis, reset and rehabilitate nerves and processes that cause headaches and other neurological symptoms. We have had great success with Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, different varieties of stubborn headaches and more. A recent patient went from months of severe, debilitating, daily facial pain to near complete resolution of symptoms in only a handful of treatments. Another patient saw her facial "droopiness" on one side of her face recover about 80% in 3 treatments. Call our office if you or someone you know would like more information. (970) 241-2400

Medicare update:
Our office is able to provide the same great service you are accustomed to while giving Medicare patients a substantial discount. Patients with Medicare will usually pay a co-pay of just $38 per treatment for most treatments. (If we have not seen you for a long time, or if you have a new injury, a brief consult and exam is required by Medicare at a small fee for the first treatment only). Please call our office at (970) 241-2400 for more details.

Most recent Google Review:
"Dr. McCloskey is great. I found him shortly after moving here and have been seeing him for over a year now. He is a good listener and I always leave feeling great. I really like that he is able to provide acupuncture and chiropractic care in the same visit, this saves me a lot of time and money from having to find two separate providers." -R.F.

Gut Flora Analysis:
My family, several patients/colleagues and I have had excellent results by obtaining gut flora sampling through Viome.
A small stool sample, combined with multiple symptom surveys are analyzed. Results are given advising numerous foods to stop eating, some to start eating, grades on different metabolic systems and more. The test is currently $149 through their website above. I recommend this testing and following their recommendations for improved energy, less allergies, better digestion and more.

Discover what's happening inside your gut and get a personalized action plan to fix it. We believe there is no one-size-fits-all diet for your good health. In three easy steps, you can be on your way to feeling better, losing weight, getting better sleep, eliminating brain fog and having more energy...

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) are commonly used over-the-counter (and prescription) drugs including Advil, Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Celebrex, Naproxen, and others. Due to their little known side effects of causing gradual bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract and clotting disturbances, conservative estimates put the amount of hospitalizations per year due to these drugs at over 100,000 hospitalizations and over 16,500 deaths per year. These figures place deaths from chronic NSAID use as the 15th leading cause of death in the U.S.! We all can handle some of these synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs occasionally. It is the chronic, month after month use that leads to the disease and death statistics quoted here. The high level of problems associated with chronic use of these common drugs echo why it is so important to maintain a more disciplined, anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle before chronic pain becomes a problem. Reducing refined sugar, caffeine, refined flours and refined foods, increasing water intake, vegetables and fruits, getting adequate exercise and rest, reducing stress, and taking advantage of natural healing therapies that address your body’s weakest link are all important strategies to prevent degenerative diseases before they start.
