Our Mission

Chiropractic may usually be thought of as merely a musculoskeletal therapy, improving spinal motion to relieve pain and stiffness and that it’s mainly for parents and grandparents.In our office we are evaluating and addressing the nervous system through the neurospinal system, which consists of the vertebra, discs, ligaments, joint capsules, muscles and nerves. You can’t just isolate any one of these because they are inherently all functioning together. A vertebra does not move itself, but is under the direct control of the muscles that attach to it. Ligaments are attaching vertebra to vertebra, essentially guiding the movement of vertebra dictated by the contraction of the muscles. The discs are in between each vertebrae acting as a shock absorber. But inside all of the muscles, ligaments, joint capsules and discs are tiny little sensors called proprioceptors. These tiny little sensors detect every bit of compression, shearing, twisting, tension, and bending, literally all movement that happens. Those sensors quite literally give the brain information, or a body map, of itself and what it is doing.  

One of the main differences between our office and a lot of other chiropractic offices is that we use a neurologically focused approach to adjusting, and who we are adjusting. One of our main target demographic of people to help is children! Most of the world thinks chiropractic is limited to older people with pain. We believe that it’s actually kids that need it more than adults, as they are still growing and developing, because of the massive influence chiropractic has on the nervous system. Instead of trying to only mobilize the spine and joints from a musculoskeletal standpoint, we look at the neuromotor sensorimotor feedback and how the brain and nervous system recalibrates and reorganizes itself. All of the major systems of the body are inherently vital to health, the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, endocrine system, digestive system, immune/detox system, circulatory system, musculoskeletal system and reproductive system are all governed and controlled via the master controlling system, the nervous system. The nervous system is the foundation of where we focus our attention and care. We primarily utilize the INSiGHT scans to do this through thermal scans, surface EMG, and Heart Rate Variability(HRV), but also we are looking at posture, gait and coordination, movement patterns and palpation. Our goal is to help optimize and enhance the brain to body communication through the neurospinal system. The better the brain perceives and “listens” to the body, the more accurate, appropriate and efficient the brain will control the body.  

Instead of only focusing on one specific technique, we utilize a myriad of techniques that are appropriate at a specific point in a person’s journey of care. For some people we might use instrument and light tonal techniques and others we might use a more traditional or manual adjusting. In some instances we will adjust someone laying down, others we may adjust seated or standing. Sometimes we even switch in the middle of their care plan depending on what the INSiGHT scans show us.  

Another key component of how we operate is under the rules of neuroplasticity, or how the brain rewires itself. The basic concept of neuroplasticity is a specific stimulus, in a specific location, with repetition. Think of learning a new language or a new sport, it takes time and repetition to learn these new items. The nervous system is the same exact way. When it comes to adjusting a person’s nervous system, instead of trying to adjust all of the areas that are dysfunctional, we might only focus on one or two areas at a time, 2, 3 or 4 times in one week. Just like trying to learn the piano, multiple shorter lessons more frequently will have better outcomes than fewer, longer lessons.  

Philosophically, we operate very differently than most offices in general. We take a terrain approach to health. Conventional medicine operates under germ theory, or contagion, which basically is under the premise that the body is inherently weak, and that “outside” things such as germs or viruses get inside us and make us sick or that we break down because of bad genes or getting old. With the terrain premise, the body is unimaginably strong and resilient, and that our internal environment and our mind determines if we are healthy or not, and that we are constantly regenerating, repairing, cleansing and eliminating. It’s these very things that we aim to support with our care focusing on the master nervous system.
