Our Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective, time tested approaches to help improve spinal system biomechanics, improve muscle tone and ultimately reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgement and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Biofeedback

Biofeedback For Stress Reduction

Stress, whether it’s from physical, chemical or emotional sources, can act to create distress within us, disrupting our natural cycles of healthy function. With excessive stress, our sleep, digestion, focus pain levels and fat burning ability can become impaired. Stress hormones, such as cortisol, tend to become imbalanced and effect the way we approach and handle daily chores. Sustaining high amounts of unresolved stress, whether conscious or unconscious, over time acts to hamper our ability to maintain optimal function. Biofeedback therapy can be a highly effective aid in helping to restore balance back to the mind and body. In our practice, we use the L.I.F.E biofeedback system, which is registered with the FDA as an approved stress reduction device.

Sound Frequency Emittance Therapy (SFET)

Eliminate pain, anxiety, cravings, addictions and phobias with Sound Frequency Emittance Therapy

By using variable sound waves, we can help you eliminate your emotional connection to Anxiety, Fear, Cravings, Addictions & Phobias. For every emotional state there is a physiological event that corresponds to it in the brain and many times it’s usually felt somewhere in the body (such as your stomach, chest, throat and/or head). The type of brain activation that occurs tells us if we like it or not. By using specific sound wave rhythms we are able to disrupt these patterns and help institute new desirable ones. This leads to new feeling states which are consistent with feeling great and enjoying healthy, adaptive behaviors.

Compensation Reactions

Bones of the skull can often become injured during the birth process. Besides the interruption of the rhythmic pulsing, once the distorted, torqued or warped pattern is established, a compensatory “distortion” can occur along the supporting spinal column below. This can set the stage for a variety of health issues, many without obvious symptoms.

The Physiology

The rhythmic movements felt along the joints of the different bones of the skull, called sutures, can be felt with the fingertips. Restrictions are thought to interfere with the normal circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid serves as a “shock absorber” for the delicate tissues of the brain. By detecting aberrations, we can uncover the underlying cause of many ailments, especially those of the jaw, sinus, ears, eyes and other parts of your head.

Those who have had traditional chiropractic care often remark that after receiving Bio Cranial work there is a better resolution of their chronic spinal Problems and overall tension.

Simply put, when we reinstate normal movement patterns to the bones of your skull, it allows many aspects of your entire body to work better.

The Biopulse and Arthrokinetic Instruments

The Biopulse and Arthrokinetic Instruments are apart of a cutting edge technology; they are handheld tools that deliver a consistent and gentle low-force, high-speed percussive movement.

Because these tools deliver a neurologically compatible percussive movment and resonance, which is many times faster than delivered by hand, the body relaxes and goes into a healing state, making your care highly comfortable and effective. They are also effective for correcting problems with many areas of the body such as the elbows, wrists, knees, ribs and other complex muscles and joints.

Your Body Does the Corrections and Healing!

The wisdom of your body uses the energy we apply to “reset” the relationship between the spinal segments, muscles and nerves. What we do is give your body a precise and gentle movement, based on what was found on your exam and analysis, which allows your body to “right itself” into a more normal functional pattern. Health can return as the neurological distortion and insults are reduced.

Neurofeedback Therapy

In order to compliment how the nerve and muscle system releases blocked nerve impulses, we utilize a unique application of hand work known as Fingertip Myotherapy. This is a very delicate, yet remarkably powerful fingertip massage technique that relaxes hard, overly-contracted muscle tissue by stimulating small feedback nerves located within muscle spindle sensory receptors. Unlike regular massage therapy, our fingertip application specifically addresses hypertonic muscle spasm, which is different than ordinary tension in that it is produced by a malfunction of the nervous system. With a precise and limited pressure, we are able to safely and comfortably stimulate specialized feedback nerves in muscle spindles.

The process of softening knotted, tight muscles is cumulative. At such time as optimum results are achieved (the core spasms are reached and the muscle is healthy throughout), maintenance becomes the objective. The objective of this approach is to activate the body’s own healing response. It generates other changes, such as increased circulation, joint health, and nerve repair, and reduced histamine production. The degree and speed of change depend on the extent and age of the disturbance, the amount of recuperative power released by each session, and the pace at which your own nervous system operates, which varies from person to person.

This cutting-edge therapy to heal muscle spasm does not try to mash the muscle into submission; rather it operates in the nervous system; it stimulates feedback nerves, reinstates feedback loops from the muscle to the part of the brain known as the cerebellum, and it is then the brain that relaxes the muscle. This sets the conditions necessary for an optimal healing response to set in.

Sacro Occipital Technique helps normalize the relationship between the pelvis and the head, using gravity to make the necessary correction. read more»

Neuro-Emotional Release Techniques

For many people, previous emotional trauma's can get stored in the mind and body; over time, it can produce distortion to the normal working's of the nervous system, blocking the natural healing response that is already programmed inside of us. Using specific techniques where we balance the subtle energies of the body through well known acupuncture meridian points, while at the same time having our patients focus in on specific core emotional issues which have occurred, whether recent or a long time earlier, has a high tendency to discharge the energy pent up on that issue and how it has effected different parts of the body. As this stuck energy becomes released, people start to get remarkable relief and healing sets in.

Using physical and emotional techniques are elegant, safe and extremely effective. We look at people as a whole, rather than as parts, which is what allopathic (conventional) medicine is trained to do. The more interference we can help remove from your system, physically, emotionally and chemically, leads to the greatest changes with long lasting results. This is why we have a high success rate and provide help where perhaps nothing else has. Our purpose is to help our patients heal.
