Our primary focus is to assess for nervous system function and to remove any interference on it with a chiropractic adjustment. The nervous system is made up of the brain, which is the power source and master control center of the body, and the nerves, which transmit all communication from the brain to the rest of the body. When there is interference on this pathway, we often start to get symptoms or warning signals that there is stress on the nervous system. Check out our "Who We Serve" page for more specifics on how those symptoms can present themselves.
The function of the nervous system is the single most influential force to the body's overall health and healing process. Every other system of the body - circulatory, digestive, endocrine (hormonal), immunological, integumentary, lymphatic, muscular, skeletal, respiratory, reproductive, urinary - depends on the function of the nervous system. As chiropractors, we use the adjustment to restore the body's natural ability to function optimally and heal itself.
Due to the widespread impact the nervous system has on the overall health of the body, we are passionate about regularly checking for interference. Just like you get frequent oil changes in your car, cavities check at the dentist or change the air filter for you furnace - maintaining optimal health of your nervous system with chiropractic care helps families take a proactive approach to their health and prevent health crisis.
Have you ever wondered if anybody is truly looking to get to the bottom of your health challenges? The truth is too many healthcare providers are focused on their solution over seeking the root of the problem for each individual patient. I learned this the hard way after spending years suffering with my own health and have been determined to change this narrative for my community through Restoring Wellness.
Our testing is something that sets us apart as a clinic. It is highly comprehensive allowing us to assess the gap between function vs. dysfunction in the body. The intention is so much more than looking for a diagnosis, but uncovering what changes needs to be implemented for healing.
There are too many people spending their lives limited by damping health and simply getting by with a progressing problem. Testing gives us tangible answers, a clear path, and an individualized approach to heal from the inside out.
Craniosacral therapy is primarily concerned with the flow of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and any restrictions to its movement. Cerebral spinal fluid surrounds the brain and spinal cord providing protection (shock absorbance), buoyancy (relieving pressure and weight at the brain’s base), nutrient delivery (providing essential nutrients and removing waste material around the brain and out of the skull), and chemical stability (crucial for proper nerve system function).
The CSF functions through constant movement in a unidirectional, pulsating manner. When there is restriction to this flow of fluid, symptoms like headaches, nausea, cognitive impairment, nerve damage, progression of neurodegenerative diseases, urinary/bowel incontinence, decreased brain function may arise in adults. For kids, symptoms can present as vision issues, developmental/cognitive delays, sensory disorders, attention disorders, head enlargement or flat spots on the head (plagiocephaly), seizures, colic, trouble with sleep, breastfeeding troubles and so much more.
Due to the overlap in function of the nervous system and cerebral spinal fluid, our doctors are trained to integrate craniosacral therapy with our chiropractic adjustments to best serve our patients as they need. The technique assesses for restriction within the cranium, throughout the spine and sacrum and utilizes light touch to release tension and imbalance to this essential movement.
