By Dr. Angela Graper

There are many options these days for food sensitivity testing. One of the best ways is an elimination diet but that can be daunting and time consuming.

At Family Focus Chiropractic, we offer several tests that measure sensitivities to foods, which tests different immunoglobulins compared to getting allergy testing done.

This panel is $225 plus a phlebotomy fee and can be paid directly to Cyrex and the lab.

 Our goal is to help provide the answers you need to feel the best. Through integrity and perseverance, we want to help as many people as we can!
