Lyme Disease Treatment in Littleton

A Holistic Approach to Treatment

Lyme Disease Treatment Littleton

Lyme disease is quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the United States. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that health providers and state health departments report roughly 30,000 confirmed cases of Lyme disease to the CDC each year. However, the CDC also suggests that the actual number of cases is closer to 300,000 — ten times the number of cases that are actually reported. Because of the rate at which this illness continues to grow, now is the time to increase awareness of and vigilance against this tick-borne illness to effectively prevent, diagnose, and treat those people who have contracted Lyme disease.

Our team at Arne Wellness Center is committed to providing patients who suffer from this illness with natural medicine. Our Lyme-literate doctor is not only dedicated to providing natural Lyme disease treatments but also furthering his understanding of the illness while seeking out new treatments to incorporate into our practice. Our doctor remains devoted to actively educating patients and residents in Highlands Ranch and beyond about Lyme disease detection, prevention, and treatments. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with Lyme disease and would like to receive holistic Lyme disease treatment in Littleton, call Arne Wellness Center today to get started. As Highlands Ranch’s Top Rated Local® wellness center, we provide people suffering from Lyme disease with alternative treatments like chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage therapy to effectively treat the cause and symptoms of your condition and pain.

What is Lyme Disease?

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted to humans through tick bites, which was first detected in 1976 in Lyme, Connecticut, which is where it gets its name. A group of small children presented similar, yet unusual symptoms and became ill with an unidentified disease that would later be classified as Lyme. Since its initial detection, Lyme disease has become more and more prevalent here in the U.S., as health providers have continued to see steady growth in reported and confirmed cases across the country. The Colorado Tick-Borne Disease Awareness Association (COTBDAA) states that in 2015, Lyme disease “was ranked as the sixth most common nationally notifiable disease.”

Lyme disease is an inflammatory disease that progresses rapidly and can become a chronic, lifelong condition if it is not detected and treated early. Patients can make a full and quick recovery when this illness is accurately diagnosed and effectively treated. However, there are patients who may experience long-term symptoms that cause severe pain and limited function. If the illness goes untreated, the bacterial infection can advance to the joints, nervous system, and heart.

Lyme Disease Treatment

Unfortunately, many cases of Lyme Disease will advance to a persistent chronic state because of several reasons:

  • Antibiotics were not administered long enough and were ineffective
  • Antibiotics may have treated Lyme but there very likely are co-infections such as Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Mycoplasma, or Candida present still
  • Poor patient immunity and/or underlying toxicity

Conventional treatments with antibiotics may work for many cases that are detected in the early stage. But for many people suffering from Lyme, symptoms have been present for months if not years without treatment or without treatment success. While there is no known cure for this illness, there are many treatment options. At Arne Wellness Center, we are devoted to providing people suffering from Lyme disease with drug-free alternative treatments. Natural Lyme disease treatments effectively treat the illness and symptoms of your condition, without weakening the immune system through the use of conventional antibiotics. At our office, we treat Lyme disease holistically — looking at the entire body’s system functions and making sure they are functioning at optimal levels while eradicating pathogens. Furthermore, we support our alternative treatments by building the immune system with natural antibiotics, supplements, and homeopathy.

“I had been suffering from severe insomnia, fatigue, stomach issues, and anxiety for years. Dr, Arne tested me and found I had Lyme disease, which was rampant through my body. It was a relief to finally find out what was wrong with me and to find a doctor who truly cared … Within a couple of months of seeing Dr. Arne, I started sleeping again. It’s been over a year and I am still sleeping and all my symptoms are gone. I feel like a new person! If you are dealing with Lyme disease, there is hope.”

After analysis has been conducted, there are several major goals we optimize for Lyme Disease treatment:

1. Eradicate Pathogens

We do this through a specialized treatment plan for each patient. This may include implementing natural antibiotics, microbial balancers, and homeopathy which are customized to specific co-infections in the body. This may also include first identifying primary and co-infections through urine analysis and providing bio-feedback to indicate where the co-infections exist in the body in order to target them more specifically.

2. Boost Immunity

This aspect of Lyme treatment also involves a very holistic approach to restoring the body’s immune system functions. Sometimes this may involve restoring the gut (which is the immune system's central hub) through probiotics or eradicating candida which is often found in patients who have had long-term antibiotics use.

3. Provide Symptom Relief

Dr. Arne is a chiropractic internist and DABCI certified meaning he has completed the post-doctoral degree in diagnosis and internal disorders. Our team utilizes conventional medical diagnostics, specialized functional testing, and holistic medicine diagnosis evaluations. In addition, he has a heavy focus on chiropractic work to help with relief in Lyme patients. Some of the services we provide for symptom relief include chiropractic adjustments to help realign the body and subside joint pain, therapeutic massage, and acupuncture to relieve nerve pain, as well as implementing supplements that help restore sleep, relieve nausea, alleviate fatigue, and help joint inflammation.

Some areas to be addressed are as listed:

  • Primary infection
  • Co-infections: Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia
  • Nutritional Deficiencies
  • Detoxification
  • Immune dysfunction
  • Systemic inflammation and pain
  • Food sensitivities
  • Viral infections
  • Yeast overgrowth (Candida)
  • Imbalance in brain chemistry/hormones
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Heavy metal toxicity

Excellent Chiropractic interest.

"Excellent chiropractic internist, and acupuncturist. Dr. Arne has been a game changer for our family. He figured my body pain was due to Lyme, which is now dormant due to his treatments. We had chronic sinuses infections, used antibiotics 6-7 times a year, we are now antibiotic free due to Arne’s ability to accurately identify virus/bacterial infections and treat them instead of a doctor handing us an antibiotic to treat what they thought was the issue. Definitely recommend when traditional medicine has failed and you are still searching for answers... Read More

Gentler approach.

"Dr Arne turned my life around. I had been suffering with the effects of Chronic Lyme disease and related co-infections for over a decade, even after 5 years of intense antibiotics, the last 9 months twice a day through an IV. I found Arne Wellness when I decided to eliminate all the toxic pharmaceuticals and try a gentler approach. It worked! Dr Arne guided me on a healing journey that eliminated all my symptoms. Using herbals and energy/frequency medicine, I barely noticed the gradual improvements until, after less than two years of treatment, my Lyme-related issues were resolved... Read More
