Introduction:

Dr. Lisa Gordon embarked on her journey with Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) in 2007. In this case study, we explore her experiences and the role AAT has played in her practice and patient care.

Background:

Dr. Lisa Gordon is a chiropractor and functional nutrition practitioner based in Columbia, Maryland. Her work spans multiple modalities, including Nutrition Response Testing, various chiropractic methods, and Assisted Self Alignment Protocol. She was also among the first practitioners to use Advanced Allergy Therapeutics (AAT) in the United States.

Her initial encounter with AAT came while she was seeking additional approaches for patients with symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities, particularly those involving pollens and environmental exposures.

The Challenge:

Dr. Gordon wanted additional options for patients whose symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities affected their daily lives. She sought an approach that could complement her chiropractic techniques and nutritional services. She also wanted to support her son, who was experiencing eczema, asthma, and other health concerns.

The Transformation:

The introduction of AAT into Dr. Gordon’s practice was a pivotal moment for her. She describes encountering AAT when it “dropped in her lap” and recognizing its potential to complement her existing chiropractic and nutritional practices.

During training, the warmth and dedication of the AAT team resonated with her, strengthening her interest in integrating the system. AAT offered an additional approach to symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities that aligned with her commitment to holistic patient care.

The Results:

Dr. Gordon shares several patient experiences that have been meaningful to her work with AAT. These include a child with eczema and asthma whose symptoms reportedly improved, patients who reported greater comfort with foods they had previously associated with symptoms, and an infant whose caregiver reported less discomfort with breastfeeding.

She also describes patients who reported improvements in symptoms associated with pets and changes in barometric pressure. Some were able to continue living with pets they had considered giving up because of their symptoms.

These individual experiences shaped Dr. Gordon’s continued interest in using AAT alongside her other services.

Conclusion:

Dr. Lisa Gordon’s journey with AAT reflects her commitment to exploring additional approaches within holistic patient care. Her early involvement, patient experiences, and relationships with the AAT team have contributed to its ongoing role in her practice.

She values AAT as an addition to her chiropractic and nutritional services and enthusiastically encourages fellow practitioners to explore it.

Testimonial:

“I’ve had the privilege of incorporating AAT into my practice since its early days. It has been a meaningful addition to my chiropractic and nutritional work, giving me another approach for patients with symptoms associated with allergies and sensitivities. Patient experiences, including a caregiver’s report of improved digestive comfort in her baby, have stayed with me. I’ve also found the AAT team to be supportive, ethical, and honest. That combination of patient experience and dependable support is why I recommend taking a closer look at AAT.”
