Neuro-Structural Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is not the treatment of conditions or disease, but rather a restoration of normal body function. At Blooming Life Chiropractic we specialize in an area of chiropractic known as Neuro-structural care or Brain-based chiropractic.
Our objective in Neuro-structural care is to ask and answer 2 big questions:
- How are you processing the world, what tools are you using, and what does that tell us about your brain function, and/or any gaps in brain development?
- Are there any indicators of alterations or inefficiencies in the way your brain is receiving, processing, and sending information from and to your body and the world?
The way we determine this is through a thorough case history and very targeted neuro-structural examination which will then allow us the ability to ask and answer these 2 big questions, put together a specific plan to start seeing resolution and improvement in these areas, and/or understand if any outside referrals are necessary.
Our process involves the use of multiple gentle, safe, and effective structural and tonal adjusting techniques and instruments, combined with brain-balancing therapy, brain-based nutrition, and neuro-structural rehabilitation.
Structure affects how well your nervous system can function. Therefore, disruptions in structure, and proper neural patterns, change your (or your child’s) brain development, function, and ability to communicate clearly.
Neuro-structural adjustments improve the efficiency and ability of your brain to receive, process, and send information clearly with your body. This is a vital pillar of health.
Fertility and Preconception
According to The American Pregnancy Association, “in many cases, fertility issues may be associated with improper nervous system function, poor nutrition, high stress, and poor lifestyle habits. Chiropractors are nervous system specialists, and reducing interference in the nervous system is their primary goal. Keeping the spine properly aligned, clearing the nervous system of excessive interference, and counseling patients on nutrition, exercise, and changes in lifestyle make the chiropractor one of your best options to help your body function in harmony with the way it was designed.”
Our focus on fertility and preconception is unique and works so well because of our approach. Dr. Sara is one of the first doctors to be Certified in the Schaefer Protocol, an 8 pillar protocol specifically designed to create healthy humans.
Perinatal Chiropractic
Research shows that prenatal chiropractic care contributes to more smooth and straightforward labors resulting in less pain and trauma for both mom and baby.
During pregnancy, our goal is to re-establish proper positioning, reduce the tension on your ligaments, and provide optimal space for your baby to grow and move into their best possible position for birth. This also ensures that your pelvic outlet (the space baby is expected to pass through during birth) is as large and open as possible. An alteration in this space can make birth more difficult, longer, and/or require interventions.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Birth, infancy and childhood are among the most physically demanding times of our life. The amount of rapid change that happens within the body during these years is nothing short of a miracle. Not to mention the countless falls and stress that come along with learning to crawl, walk, run and develop into adulthood.
Starting with the birthing process, there is a tremendous amount of pressure and force exerted onto babies, even during the most natural birth. A recent study by Viola Frymann demonstrated that 90% of newborns suffered the effects of birth trauma: associated strain through the neck and cranial areas following birth. Left uncorrected, this trauma can continue to impact spinal growth and development, reducing the healthy function of the nervous system. This can cause a multitude of health challenges later in life that may have been easily prevented.
Although all infants should be checked right after birth, here are some potential signs of nervous system stress and indicators to bring your baby to a pediatric chiropractor:
- Nursing difficulties
- Sleep disturbances
- Inability to be soothed and settled
- Head tilt to one side, even after you straighten it
- Difficulty turning their neck to one side
65% of neurological development (development of the brain and nervous system) occurs within the first year of life so it only makes sense to ensure that your baby has every opportunity to optimize their nerve function during this critical developmental period.
INSiGHT Scans
INSiGHT scans are non-invasive, safe, and painless tests (even for pregnant mamas and infants) that allow us to gather accurate information about how well your body is adapting to the physical, chemical, and emotional stressors in your life.
- physical stress and traumas such as the birthing process, falls, car accidents, etc.
- chemical stress and toxins such as processed food, pollutants, drugs, vaccines, etc.
- emotional stress and thoughts such as stress at school, work, home, etc.
CLA INSiGHT scans combine the accuracy, validity and reliability of three of the most important neuro-spinal measurements: Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Thermography, and Electromyography (sEMG). These tests work together to tell us how stress is impacting your overall health, function, development, and well-being, beyond any expression of symptoms.
Heart Rate Variability
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) examines the impact of lifestyle stress while measuring your adaptability.
Thermography
neuroTHERMAL scans your entire spinal nerve system and detects areas of decreased regulation to your organs and glands.
Electromyography
sEMG measure how neuromuscular tension is affecting posture, subluxation patterns and overall exhaustion.
Bioenergetic Testing
(Available both online, via telehealth, and in-person)
Our non-invasive hair and saliva test derives its results from cutting edge bioenergetic technology that focuses on detecting your underlying sensitivities and stressors.
Following the test you will receive a comprehensive, yet easy to understand, report revealing any stressed organ systems within your body, food and/or environmental sensitivities, nutritional imbalances, energetic toxins- such as viruses, mold, and bacteria, and hormonal imbalances, as well as, recommended balancing remedies: herbs, homeopathics, and nutritional supplements, given your unique biology and specific stressors and/or sensitivities present.
The following is a list of just some of the over 350 things we scan for:
- hormonal imbalances
- environmental sensitivities
- nutritional deficiencies
- gluten and dairy sensitivities
- thyroid stress
- energetic patterns of toxins like mold, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, chemicals, and parasites
- …and more
This provides us with a tremendous amount of information and an accurate launch point for how to best support you, your health, your family, and your goals.
Preconception, Babies and Kiddos
Supporting couples to create the right environment to conceive a healthy baby. We encourage testing on parents and new babies to ensure vital signs are strong.
Perinatal & Whole Family
Giving families an abundant way to live an all natural lifestyle. From pediatric to adulthood you need the proper health information to make the right lifestyle choices.
Pets and Fur-babies
Pets are family too. Many families are choosing to make their fur-babies health just as much of as a priority due to the principles of environmental exposure.
The Brain Blossom Program™
The Brain Blossom Program™ is an online program consisting of brain and body games and exercises to facilitate whole brain function and healing.
The program is designed to reduce stress and deflective tendencies in order to help individuals engage in, communicate with, learn from and enjoy their world. The only requirement is a partner to work with to administer some of the games!
