How Our Care Plan Works
1. Body
Misalignment = Miscommunication = Misery. Pain, tightness, poor posture, inflammation—it’s all your body screaming for help. When the spine is off, your nervous system can’t work right. We realign the body through chiropractic, physical therapy, and acupuncture to get you moving, healing, and living again.
2. Brain
Your brain controls every cell, organ, and system in your body. If the brain-to-body connection is blocked—even slightly—you feel it: pain, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety. Most doctors miss this. We don’t. We restore the brain’s ability to run the show—so your body can finally heal. Because when your brain fires right, your whole body functions better. And when that connection is restored, everything changes.
3. Chemistry
Your Gut Talks to Your Brain—Loudly . 80% of your brain’s neurotransmitters come from your gut. If your digestion, blood sugar, or hormones are off, your brain will suffer. We use advanced functional medicine to fix the chemistry behind your symptoms—because supplements and meds aren’t enough when the root is still there.

How Can I Get Properly Diagnosed?
In order to effectively reactivate parts of the brain to help with health concerns, a proper diagnosis is crucial, and we use a multi-specialty approach that includes medical, chiropractic and physical therapy providers.
Any assessment needs to determine the specific communication pathways in the brain that are affected. Our team has specialized training in chiropractic neurology, nutrition, blood chemistry and metabolic health which means that we are able to give you a qualified diagnosis for your condition.
What Causes Dizziness and Balance Issues?
The causes of dizziness and balance issues fall into one of two categories fuel delivery and neurologic dysfunction:
FUEL DELIVERY:
Some patients have a problem with the fuel or nutrients that they are providing their bodies. We assess the fuel delivery in each patient by looking at their diet and providing key nutritional supplements to ensure that their brain gets a steady stream of glucose. When we examine these fuel issues, we also look for things like nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, food sensitivities, heavy metal sensitivities and poor oxygenation.
NEUROLOGIC DYSFUNCTION:
A problem can occur in the neurologic wiring of an important system in the body called the vestibular system. When we examine issues within the vestibular system we look at these four areas:
Inner ears
Eyes
Information from our joints and spine (proprioception)
Central processor (cerebellum)
If there is a lack of integration or miscommunication between any of these four areas, balance and dizziness issues will likely occur.
Who Suffers from Dizziness and Balance Issues?
Some people have the misconception that only the elderly can suffer from dizziness/balance issues, but we treat patients of all ages.
When it comes to children, we treat many for balance disorders, especially those who suffer from ADD/ADHD. Many of these children are not aware of their balance deficits until we begin to work with them on these issues.
