Practice
In 1981, Dr. Reiter joined the faculty at Palmer College for several years as an instructor in chiropractic manipulation.
Then, returning home to New York, joined both the faculty at the New York College of Chiropractic, and the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic as an assistant professor while opening a private practice in Medford, Long Island, which he ran for 20 plus years.
Additionally, Dr. Reiter served at Portland Clinic of Holistic Health for over four years, where he gained valuable experience.
Principles
In practice Dr. Reiter has found the following principles helpful:
1) Proper eating, fasting, juicing, specific nutriceuticals and general supplements are
essential to prevent disease and maintain health. Patients need to be willing to make
lifestyle changes in order to cure disease.
2) Homeopathy offers a new and logical perspective to chronic health issues. And is the best holistic approach to relieve the inner psychological-emotional stress patterns that create and support the outer physical symptoms and suffering.
3) Chiropractic manipulation, when done specifically, only where and when needed, is very effective in relieving pain and restoring function to injured, and aching areas of the body. Patients that receive adjustments when needed are healthier in general. Along with traction, herniated discs can be relieved. Many pains in the head, chest and limbs originate from the back and alleviate with spinal treatment. Given the side- effect of drugs, the permanency of surgery, it is best to use natural holistic medicine if properly indicated.
