How is Brain Based Chiropractic Different?
What coordinates EVERY function in your entire body? Hopefully you answered, “My brain”. And if you did then you would be correct. But HOW does it do this? Your brain must perceive its environment (internal and external) accurately and completely to coordinate (send messages to) the behavior (function) of all the cells. For example, you would probably agree that the brain would send different messages to the body if the building were on fire as compared to if you were home getting ready to take a nap. With that in mind, the brain determines what messages to send to the body by how it perceives its environment. If the brain perceives the environment properly, it can then properly send messages to the body. That is not always the case however and the reason brain based chiropractic is so important.
What is a Brain Based Chiropractic Adjustment?
A Brain Based Chiropractic Adjustment is a specific light touch or instrument-assisted impulse directed to interrupt patterns of dis-regulation within the brain and body creating improvement in the communication within the brain and nervous system thus allowing it to better adapt to and recover from both present and accumulated stress. We used an Integrator which creates an impulse of consistent force. The speed of the force is 1/10,000th of a second which is almost non-detectable. Our goal is NOT to move a bone – our goal is to trigger a neurologic response improving brain and nervous system adaptation. The Integrator is unique in that it can provide torque, like a rotational spin.
A Precise contact point + Precise speed + Precise direction = Powerful Results.
Why Do Kids Need Chiropractic?
Great Question! Kids deserve every opportunity to express the greatness that is within them. Many of the challenges we see in adults have a start in childhood. There are many factors today in the lives of kids that can and do create obstacles to normal development and function. So the younger we can correct these causes, the greater the opportunity to put your child on the right track for an amazingly healthy life!

Can I Be Adjusted While Pregnant?
Absolutely! In fact we encourage both parents to adopt chiropractic as a part of a healthy lifestyle even before they conceive. But if you are already pregnant, chiropractic care is very beneficial during pregnancy. Not only does chiropractic care allow the mother to feel her best during the pregnancy but it also her own nervous system to be balanced and functioning well, relieving stress and tightness in her body. This can optimize the entire pregnancy and birth process.
Why Should I See A Chiropractor?
As part of a health-minded approach, you have probably had your teeth checked, your vision checked, your hearing checked and perhaps many other check-ups as well. When was the last time you had the most powerful organ in your body checked – your brain? It’s the master control system that drives every cell, organ, organ system, muscle and joint. If it’s not adapting well, nothing else in your body can function at its best. Isn’t it time to make sure your brain’s truly in charge? Yet this could be the most important check-up you and your child could ever have. Only a chiropractor is specifically trained to detect and correct deviations away from normal with your nervous system.
Do You Accept Health Insurance?
Our office does not accept health insurance. Our focus is optimizing brain and nervous system communication, function, adaptation and recovery from stress not in the treatment of disease or disorders.
