Brain Based Chiropractic.
What controls and coordinates every function in your body?
That's right, your brain. Your brain's ability to perceive and respond to your internal and external environment is the most important factor in determining your overall health and well-being. Anything that disturbs the ability of your brain and body to maintain balance is considered a "stressor." Stressors can be physical - injuries, accidents or infections. They can be emotional - relationship issues, financial pressures or past traumas. Or they can be chemical - processed foods, pesticides or contaminated water supplies. When our stress response system becomes overwhelmed it can lead to chronic pain, fatigue, headaches, mood swings, sleep disturbances, hormonal imbalances, decreased immune system function, or digestive issues. According to the CDC, approximately 90% of visits to doctor's offices are due to stress related conditions. When your stress response system is dysregulated, your body shifts into survival mode. When your body is in survival mode, you can not heal.
Our office utilizes a computerized Stress Response Evaluation that measures brain waves and autonomic nervous system function, posture and balance exams, as well as lab tests to determine how well you brain and body are able to communicate. If there is an inefficiency in your brain's ability to communicate with your musculoskeletal system you may experience back pain, neck pain, or headaches. If the communication between your brain and immune system is compromised, you may become more susceptible to infection or struggle with an autoimmune condition. If the communication between your brain and gut is affected, you may suffer from indigestion or irritable bowel symptoms.
Optimizing communication between your brain and the rest of your body is one of the most important things that you can do for your health.
