Meet Anita — the steady presence behind our front desk and the newest member of the Launch team.

Known (unofficially) as our Vibe Coordinator, Anita brings a calm, organized energy to the space that helps everything run smoother—from scheduling and client care to creating a warm welcome the moment you walk in.

Her experience as a mom to 3, film production, and people-centered work gives her a unique ability to connect, support, and keep things flowing behind the scenes. Outside the office, you’ll find her dancing, hiking, cooking, or working on her next DIY project—always finding ways to grow and stay grounded.

We’re so lucky to have her here!!

Healing Takes Time—Because Your Body Has Its Own Plan

Sometimes your body has to work through Steps 1-4 before it can get to number 5... even though number 5 is all we want from our chiropractor...

“There is no process that does not take time.” This chiropractic principle reminds us that healing isn’t instant—it’s a process, and your body follows its own priorities to keep you safe and conserve energy.

Think of it like cleaning your house —if guests are arriving in 10 minutes, you’ll probably do a quick tidy-up: clear the entryway, wipe the counters, and make sure the guest bathroom looks presentable. But if you had more time, you’d go deeper—vacuuming under furniture, organizing closets, and actually reorganizing the space, not just making it look better.

Your body heals the same way. If you’ve been under stress for years, it won’t just jump to deep repair overnight—it first reorganizes to ensure safety, stability, and efficiency.

Enter: "Soft Neuro Signs"
Before major physical changes show up, you might notice subtle shifts that indicate your nervous system is adapting:
- Deeper, more restful sleep
- Less tension in your shoulders & jaw
- Feeling calmer in stressful situations
- Better digestion & fewer gut issues
- Improved focus & mental clarity
- Breathing deeper, with less effort

These early signs show your system is laying the foundation for deeper healing. With time and consistency, these shifts build into lasting physical and physiological improvements. Using our scan technology at your progress visit shows how your body is reorganizing these deeper foundational patterns.

Healing isn’t just about “feeling better” right away—it’s about functioning better for the long run. Your body is doing the work. Give it the time it needs. 💙

What if we told you that every single person’s health story—no matter their symptoms, age, or injury background—can be understood through the same lens? That lens is the nervous system.

Your nervous system is your body’s command center. It regulates everything from stress and digestion to posture and recovery. No matter what brings someone into our office—pain, fatigue, feeling stressed out or simply a desire to function better—we assess their nervous system first.

How do we measure it?

With cutting-edge scans like HRV, sEMG, and Thermography, we can objectively see:

✅ How well their body is adapting to stress
✅ Whether their energy is being used efficiently or wasted
✅ If their system is stuck in overdrive or shutdown

By using the nervous system as our guide, we can also track progress in a meaningful way that makes sense for everybody, creating care plans based on real data—not guesswork.

No matter where you are on your health journey, this is where we start. Because when your nervous system thrives, so do you.

Maybe Your Nervous System Wasting Energy?

Your muscles don’t just move you—they tell a deeper story about how your nervous system is handling stress. That’s where Surface Electromyography (sEMG) comes in! We use an sEMG scan as part of our comprehensive Initial and Progress Assessments!

What is sEMG?
sEMG is a non-invasive scan that measures how well your muscles are working. Think of it as a window into your postural control, energy use, and stress adaptation.

Why Does It Matter?

- Pinpoints Hidden Tension – sEMG reveals muscle compensation patterns that could be draining your energy.
- For Chronic recurring pain or injuries, the sEMG scan can help identify "stuck" patterns of protection that need to be released in order for you to heal!
- Measures Nervous System Stress – Shows how your body is reacting to physical, emotional, and chemical stress.
- Tracks Real Progress – Provides objective data to see how your body is adapting over time.

Many people feel stiff, sore, or tired without realizing their nervous system is working too hard. sEMG helps us track this and in combination of getting adjusted, shows us when your body is working smarter, not just harder!

Curious about how your nervous system is performing?

"Healing Takes Time – Trust the Process"

We hear that all the time, but when that nagging pain isn't changing right away after 2 weeks of care... it's easy to think "it's not working and it never will".

"But healing isn’t always linear." - however true, offers little value when you're struggling to sleep... so what's going on here?

It may seem obvious to state that "Everybody and Every Body heals in its own order and at its own pace" - and your nervous system is the project manager!

Your nervous system’s top priority is keeping you safe and energy-efficient. When the body starts to release stuck patterns, this process can feel new or unfamiliar which can result in temporary louder symptoms. (Your Body is being overly cautious)

Quick fixes might bring temporary relief, but they rarely lead to sustainable health. We know lasting change doesn’t happen overnight so how do we know we're on the right path??

To answer this question we defer to nervous system scans!!!

By using advanced technology we can objectively understand the process of progress. The scans often reveal changes in efficiency and reorganization activity—affirming that your body is shifting, even before symptoms fully resolve.

Sometimes, pain or discomfort can linger because your system still needs more time to practise the new pattern. But when we see these deeper changes happening, we know we’re on the right track.

Chiropractic care works WITH your body, not against it. Instead of chasing symptoms, focus on restoring your foundation for long-term health.

That foundation is your Nervous System!

We believe your health journey is about so much more than just getting out of pain. It’s about unlocking your full potential.

Pain is often your body’s way of saying something needs attention—but once we address it, the real magic begins. By assessing your nervous system and understanding it's role in health, we help you move beyond symptom management to true, lasting transformation.

Whether you’re healing from an injury or looking to maximize your performance, you need a nervous system capable of adapting to the stress.

You choose the stress - Training for a marathon, recovering from burnout, or just keeping up with daily life? Your nervous system is the gate keeper of how well you handle things.

Instead of just addressing pain, we use advanced technology to measure your health at a deeper level. This allows us to track progress beyond symptoms, showing how your system is becoming more efficient, adaptable, and balanced over time.

Because true health isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about functioning better.

Imagine a life where you feel stronger, clearer, and more connected. A life where your body works with you, not against you.

Let’s shift the focus from simply surviving to truly thriving.

Happy Heart Day!

Your heart does more than just pump blood—it tells us a lot about your overall health.

Resting Heart Rate (RHR): A lower resting heart rate is linked to better cardiovascular health and efficiency.

Did you know that we use Heart Rate Variability (HRV) scans to measure the flexibility of your nervous system—how well your body shifts between stress and recovery. Higher HRV = better adaptability, resilience, and long-term well-being.

Your heart is constantly communicating with you. What is yours saying? 💕

Hey Everybody I’m Dr. Brad!

As a Chiropractor, I work with a wide range of clients— from the young to the "more refined," those navigating challenging times, and others preparing for even bigger ones.

But here’s something that might surprise you:

1. Not everyone has back or neck pain
2. Of those with recurring shoulder, knee, or recurring injuries - I’m often the first practitioner to consider the spine and nervous system as part of the equation.
3. Many struggle with headaches, migraines, low energy & poor sleep but do not connect any of these to their high stress job, poor diet or past trauma.

Here’s the thing—no matter what brings someone in, every client has one thing in common:

Their nervous systems are STUCK in a state of stress or exhaustion.

Their nervous system is their body’s master control system. It tells their heart to beat, their lungs to breathe, and their muscles to move. It also processes stress, heals injuries, and influences how they experience pain, energy, and even their emotions.

That's why my approach always starts with assessing the nervous system 🧠

If it’s struggling to manage stress, then every effort to heal—whether it’s mobility work, pain relief, or performance training—will be like swimming against the tide.

Conversely, once their nervous system is balanced and has a high capacity to manage stress, then their healing momentum shifts. Suddenly, health starts working for them, not against them.

In almost every case, I see that:
⚡️The body has been trying to get their attention for a while.
⚡️ Pain isn’t the only way it signals a need for support.
⚡️ Healing is unique to each person and unfolds at the pace their body can reorganize and recover.

As your chiropractor, I see my role is to help you understand what your body is telling you, assess your current healing capacity, and create a plan that supports adaptation from the inside out.

If this resonates with you, let’s connect.

02/05/2025

When it comes to true, lasting health, we have to start at the very beginning. Not just the beginning of symptoms or challenges—but the very foundation of development itself.

And that foundation? It all comes down to one thing: The Central and Autonomic Nervous System.

Optimal health is built on optimal neurodevelopment. That’s because the first system to develop in the womb is not the heart, not the lungs, not the muscles or bones—but the the nervous system.

It starts with the neural tube—the brainstem and spinal cord—the command centre of life itself. From there, every other system, every function, every movement and sensation is built upon and regulated by the Central and Autonomic Nervous System.

Think about it—what tells the heart to beat?
What tells the lungs to breathe?
What controls digestion, muscle tone, immune response, and even sleep?

It’s the nerves. The nerves. The nerves.

The Central Nervous System is the most important system in the body. It is the control panel, the operating system, the power supply that keeps everything online.

So if we want to improve digestion, ease tension in muscles, restore proper sleep, or be able to accurately and efficiently interact with our environment… where do we start?

We don’t just chase symptoms. We don’t just work on the bones, or the muscles, or even the digestive system in isolation.

We go straight to the source. We check the Central Nervous System.

Because when the nervous system is in balance—when it’s functioning optimally—every other system follows.

This is why we take a neurologically focused approach to health. We assess the nervous system first—so that everything else can function the way it was designed to.

Because true health doesn’t start with symptoms.
It starts with the nervous system.
