Dr. Loretta Friedman

MEET OUR DOCTOR

Dr. Loretta Friedman

I am Dr. Loretta T. Friedman, but my patients call me Dr. Loretta. I’ve been in clinical practice for over 25 years, previously as an operating room nurse, specializing in cardiothoracic, open heart, vascular and kidney transplants out at UCSF San Francisco. Additionally, former faculty at NYU School of Dentistry for Oral Facial Pain, TMJD.
In June of 1994, I came back to New York to open up my Chiropractic practice, specializing as a Directional Non-Force Technique® practitioner, clinical nutritionist, and as an expert in women's health. I am one of two Directional Non-Force Technique® Chiropractors in all of New York State, so patients come from all over for relief of pain, muscular-skeletal swelling and inflammation problems, and disc issues. As a woman’s health expert, I harness proprietary protocols for Anti-Aging, Metabolic Detoxification, and Lymph-Biologics™, a unique form of lymphatic drainage.

With a diversity of Nutritional degrees, a Master's in nutrition, 2 Diplomas in nutrition, and multiple certifications, I have been helping women and men with their nutritional insufficiencies for years. I have also developed my own proprietary blends of supplements.
I utilize multiple modalities to ensure optimal patient outcomes.These include but are not limited to:

    Directional Non-Force Technique® Chiropractic Care.

    Nutritional Response Testing.

    Aging Analysis.

    Detailed patient history intake.

Most importantly, I LISTEN to my patients even if what they are trying to communicate to me doesn’t add up with what I know to be clinically sound.

what we offer

Our Services

We provide a variety of services that range from nutrition and weight loss treatment to back pain care and anti-aging treatment. People may not realize just how much one’s diet and eating habits can negatively impact the body.

  • To compound the problem of our toxic environment, we have refined away much of the nutritional value of our food supply and replaced it with artificial colorings, preservatives, flavorings, conditioners, etc.

  • At Synergy Health Associates, Dr. Loretta Friedman offers an integrative and deeply personalized approach to cancer support. . With decades of clinical experience in lymphatic health and functional medicine

  • Lymph-Biologics™ uses a 3-part lightwave that has an oscillating frequency to penetrate deep into the lymphatic system that literally cleaves away the toxins that attach themselves to the lymphatic fluid (similar to removing plaque on teeth).

  • Utilizing a very gentle thumb-thrust and a natural reflex of the body which we refer to as a ‘leg-check’, I can accurately diagnose and treat almost any issue, discomfort, pain, or problem of the musculoskeletal system.

  • The benefits of harmonising your environment include deeper, more restful sleep, reduced fatigue, and improved mental clarity—all of which allow you to enjoy a healthier, happier, and more productive life, free from the hidden effects of EMF.

  • Acoustical Wave Therapy, a type of shockwave therapy that interrupts pain pathways of inflamed nerves while stimulating cells and the body’s intrinsic healing mechanism with acoustical waves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Synergy Health Associates provides personalized care by thoroughly assessing each patient’s needs through communication and professional examinations. They tailor treatment plans to individual patients, recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always effective, especially for those who continue to experience symptoms after standard treatments.

  • Directional Non-Force Technique® is a very gentle, effective form of chiropractic care.

    It does not involve any rack 'em, stack 'em, or crack 'em type of force. No twisting or popping is used. It’s a gentle hands-on approach to not only identify and fix osseous or bony misalignments but also all the surrounding soft tissue. The muscle, tendons, ligaments and the discs. It is the direct disc adjustments that give patients the relief they are seeking and long-lasting holding powers of the adjustments as well.

    With the use of a natural reflex of the body, I can identify a malfunction anywhere in the body. It’s this sophisticated form of analysis that contributes to the effectiveness of Directional Non-Force Technique®.

    I can fix low back pain in 6-8 visits, as opposed to traditional chiropractic, which could take upwards of 4-6 months.

    That time and money used for treatment for 6 months can be used more effectively for many other things.

  • In recent history, mankind has managed to drastically change the chemistry of the environment in which we live. For example, in 1989 alone, more than 1,000,000,000 pounds of chemicals were released into the ground, threatening a portion of the soil we grow our food in and the natural underground water tables that supply some of our drinking water. Over 188,000,000 pounds of chemicals were also discharged into surface waters such as lakes and rivers. More than 2,400,000,000 pounds of chemical emissions were pumped into the air we breathe. A grand total of 5,705,670, 380 pounds of chemical pollutants were released into the environment we eat, breathe and live in, all in just one year.

    To compound the problem of our toxic environment, we have refined away much of the nutritional value of our food supply and replaced it with artificial colorings, preservatives, flavorings, conditioners, etc. This poor quality diet – combined with predisposed many of us to experience a kind of “internal” pollution. Internal pollution occurs when the healthful bacteria in the intestinal tract are overcome by unhealthful bacteria. These unhealthful bacteria release toxic by-product into our circulation, which can negatively impact many aspects of our overall health.

  • What does this problem of toxicity mean for us individually? It may present a threat to the vibrant level of health we would like to enjoy. But whether we succumb to the adverse effects of toxicity depends on our knowledge of the subject and the choices we make. We need to take personal responsibility to make sure that we do not fall victim to toxicity. That involves learning what we need to do to help our body protect itself from toxicity.

  • Let’s begin with some of the basic requirements to avoid toxicity. Do all you can to purify your work and home environments? IF you know the source of any toxic materials at work, such as stored or leaking chemicals, dyes, paints, solvents, glues, acids, or household offenders such as insecticides or cleaning agents, remove them if possible. If the offending materials cannot be removed, an effective air purification system may be needed. At least, wear protective clothing and/or breathing apparatus when using any toxic materials. Regular replacement of furnace and air conditioning filters may also be helpful.

    It is also very important to eat a good diet with plenty of fresh, wholesome foods. Avoid eating excess fat, refined sugar and food high in additives and preservatives. Eat moderate levels of proteins (approximately 15% to 20% of your calories) and fat (approximately 20% of your calories), while increasing levels of complex carbohydrates (approximately 60% of your calories). Substitute organically raised animals and organically grown fruits and vegetables whenever possible. Drink plenty of purified water (ideally, eight 8-ounce glasses a day). A home water purification system is highly desirable to provide pure water for drinking and cooking.

  • One thing is certain in our effort to purify our work and home environments; it is impossible to avoid toxicity completely! With that realization, the importance of supporting your body’s efforts to eliminate accumulated toxins cannot be overstated. The illustration on the reverse side of this sheet outlines the body’s natural detoxification mechanism and helps us understand the best way to strengthen and support it. Please take a minute now and consider it closely.

  • Formerly, it was believed that a water or juice fast was a preferred detoxification program. These fasts were thought to work under the principle that the body will be able to clear stored toxins and heal itself when the “stress” of digestion and the further accumulation of toxins were eliminated. The modern-day realization that the body’s detoxification mechanism is a heavily nutrient-supported process has made it learn that simple juice or water fasting is less complete and no longer the method of choice. Prolonged fasting may weaken muscles and various organs because of protein losses and a gradual slowing of metabolic activity as the body endeavors to conserve its depleted energy resources.

  • Research has shown that body composition is directly related to health. A normal balance of body fat is associated with good health and longevity. Excess fat in relation to lean body mass, a condition known as altered body composition, can greatly increase your risks for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Aging Analysis fosters early detection of an improper balance in your body composition, which allows for early intervention and prevention. Aging Analysis also provides a measurement of fluid and body mass that can be a critical assessment tool for your state of cellular health. Aging Analysis serves to measure your progress as you work to improve your health and cellular profile. Improving your cellular measurements can help keep your body functioning properly for healthy aging and reduced risk of illness.

    With your Aging Analysis, I can recommend a personalized dietary plan, nutritional supplements and exercise to help you support optimal health and well-being for a lifetime.

  • Aging Analysis is a simple yet sophisticated test done right in the office at the time of your appointment in a matter of minutes. Results are gathered immediately and reviewed with the patient with the help of a computer analysis.

    The Aging Analysis calculates your tissue and fluid compartments by using an imperceptible electric current passed through pads placed on the back of the hand and foot as you lie comfortably clothed on an exam table. In just minutes, we have accurate measurements to help create an effective personalized program to improve your health status.

    The Aging Analysis allows me to see if your cells are aging prematurely, if your cell membrane is shrinking, which is the first sign of premature aging of your cells. This is reversible. This premature aging of the cell membrane is due to nutritional deficiencies. Your diet is lacking in one or more nutrients, which is causing severe effects on your cellular profile.

    The same can be said for cell receptors. Receptors, hence the name, are supposed to be receptive. Sensitive to the body's own natural production of hormones like Insulin and or nutrients you take in. Whether it's food or supplements, these receptors are how these nutrients or hormones get into the cells. So the cells can use them for energy.

    If the receptors are resistant, this creates a problem because the cells are essentially starving. Nutrients and hormones can't get in.

    Excess body fat can block these receptors, which is called Insulin Resistance and causes Type 2 Diabetes, but what if you're not overweight, what if your body composition is where it's supposed to be, under 25% body fat? What causes Resistance then….STRESS.

    Stress causes an entire chemical cascade to occur that compromises your cellular profile…this puts you at risk for not only Type 2 Diabetes, Coronary Artery Disease, High Cholesterol, Metabolic Syndrome, Stroke and Cancer. That's right….STRESS.

    I test young people all the time at Fortune 100 and 500 Companies. These kids are under 30, and their cell tests all look the same. Most of them are in good shape except for the Cell Receptors. They are all elevated, and these kids are stressed. They think that diet and exercise alone will change this and improve this profile. It won’t, believe me, I wish it would.

  • Lymph-Biologics™ is an electronic device that uses noble gases in glass tubes. The gases are excited (ionized) by a high voltage field at low current (amperage).

    The noble gases used are argon, xenon and krypton. These gases are natural in the Earth's atmosphere at all times, but in minute amounts.

    The therapy heads emit various fields of energy when touched to the skin. The primary action is an electrostatic field. It's like a static spark received from walking across carpeting in dry climatic conditions and then discharged when touching a ground surface.

    The client does not feel the sparks. This ionic field is then pulsed at low frequencies. It is a pulsating field of static electric bursts at microamperes.

    Next, the field is driven by a circuit that pulses it in a dynamic cycle, within a specific range of frequencies under 1000Hz. It's called Dynamic Pulsed Ionic Field. This process keeps your body from adapting to the energy over time, as well as provides richer fields of frequencies that the body can use.

    Lymph-Biologics™ energies are safe. There are no energies that can heat the tissue (non-thermal) or cause any harmful effects, such as RF burns, like ultrasound or diathermy

    Vibrational Lymphatic therapy improves the entire circulation of the body. By allowing your body to release toxins and accumulated fluid and proteins between the cells, a healthy balance is restored. A series of treatments over time is highly recommended. Regular use improves your lymphatic flow and accelerates detoxification of your tissues. This leads to more vitality, relief of aches and pains, aids with common ailments, faster healing from surgeries, tender cystic breasts, chronic diseases such as cancer and asthma, and helps rid the body of all kinds of environmental toxins. It enhances the transportation of waste or toxins out of the body by increasing fluid volume and fluid exchange at the site of lymphatic vessels, as well as interstitial spaces between cells. Thus, it also facilitates the transportation of immune functions into the cells and organs, white blood cells, etc.

    When one understands how the lymphatic circulation works in our bodies, one can see the value of this therapy.
