Neurologically Based Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic for the 21st Century
Chiropractic care is a natural and non-invasive approach to health and well-being. Most people know that chiropractic can help with structural and postural issues associated with low back pain, but less know about its role in assisting the body to heal properly. Physical, Mental and Chemical Stress place demands on our bodies and impact our nervous system. The nervous system, the master system of our body, is comprised of our brain, spinal cord and nerves. When the spine shifts, or subluxates, it can compromise the nervous system, interfering with its ability to regulate, coordinate, and heal. Over time, this leads a downward spiral in physical comfort, emotional stability, and overall well-being.
Rather than continually chasing symptoms, chiropractors focus on that neuro-spinal relationship, restoring normal function and allowing the body to do what it’s supposed to do. Chiropractic is all about Connection!
Our approach to adjusting the areas of the spine that are out of alignment or under tension work in harmony with the body. Our techniques we employ are tonal, specific, low force and are a product of the latest research and advancements in Chiropractic. We use state-of-the-art assessments of the nervous system to customize a specific care plan catered to your health goals.
Vitalistic Nutrition
As part of your personal Wellness Immersion, a specifically tailored nutrition plan will support your Stress Balance Integration visits. Our unique approach focuses on the five foundational pillars of nutrition and the common stressors that effect our health and ability to heal. We utilize whole food, herbal and botanical supplementation as natural solutions to restore resiliency, overall physiological balance and vitality. As we peel away patterns of stress and uncover the obstacles that have been holding us back, its crucial to support the body by providing it what it needs to adapt!
Heart Rate Variability(HRV) is a biomarker to assess how we are responding to stress and our adaptation reserve for healing. The Nerve-Express is a fully automated, non-invasive computer-based system designed for quantitative assessment of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) based on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis. Deeper insight into your nervous system functioning is monitored over the course of your nutritional plan to help identify the stressors or obstacles to optimize your health and well-being.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology(AK) is a holistic approach to optimum function which is based on the triad of health. Muscle testing is used to assess bio-mechanics and the functional integrity of the nervous system. AK can assist in restoring postural imbalances, improve range of motion and optimize nerve function as an adjunct with chiropractic adjustments. AK techniques are dynamic and specific to the patient. Nutrition, stress reducing techniques and structural therapies (cranial, myo-fascial, acupressure and reflex points) are considered in an integrated way to restore balance.
Most people would consider health or wellness as the absence of symptoms alone: But is that true health? According to the The World Health Organization, ” Heath is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. True health encompasses our entire being. The balance of these facets are represented in the Triad of Health. Each side of the Triad or triangle, represents stresses that we must react and adapt to in our daily lives. When one or all sides of the triangle are impacted, our ability to be in a state of healing is diminished. Our approach assists patients to identify the underlying cause of their health challenges and become more resilient and adaptable to stress. Our stress based approach we consider a lifestyle, not simply a quick fix. Our patient specific care plans focus on you achieving your health goals, improving your quality of life and personal development. Living a Vibrant Life is one Full of Energy, Joy and Growth! Our Mission is to Empower patients to take action with their health and well being.
Auriculotherapy
“Auriculotherapy, also known as Cranial Nerve Augmentation, is often confused with ear acupuncture but it uses no needles, no acupuncture points & no meridians. A micro-current stimulator is placed on neurological points that correspond to the various cranial nerves & cervical ganglia on the ear. These nerves then send a message to the brain based on the location of the area being diagnosed or treated. Therefore, Cranial Nerve Augmentation is considered mainstream clinical neurology.
Imagine your brain as a computer. Inside this computer is a “map” of the entire body. This map is neurologically projected onto the ear through the body’s nervous system. Accessing the points on the map is like using a computer’s keyboard or mouse to gain entrance into the system. With this system we are able to directly diagnose & treat a number of problems & conditions through the “brain’s computer” – American College of Addictionology and Compulsive Disorders
Auriculotherapy has been shown to be effective along side subluxation- based chiropractic care in the modualting the “Brain-Reward Cascade”. CNA is theorized to release endorphins and enkephalins, which impact our ability to express well-being. This modality has been researched in the management of pain, musculo-skeletal complaints, withdrawal management and addiction.
