How are you going to fix my low back pain with my neck?!

I often get phone calls from people who are referred into the office by a friend or testimonial/review that shared how I helped with their low back pain.

Believe me, I understand the confusion! Here's the deal - everything in your body is connected. Many times injuries or pain that happen in the low back are actually secondary to previous issues that happened up at the base of your skull and brain stem.

Over time these upper neck issues caused your whole body to shift and change which made your lower back more prone to injury.

So many times I see people trying to fix their low back and not really succeeding because they still haven't taken care of the primary problem - which sometimes they don't even know they have!

The best part - we get to help your whole body heal without aggravating the part that already hurts.

If you or someone you know has been struggling - lets chat! I'd love to see if I can help.

Do you feel like you have brain fog or simply can't focus on the task ahead? It may be related to your body being in chronic fight or flight.

It might be common, but it's NOT normal.

Many of you know I'm a specialist when it comes to my chiropractic technique - the truth is while I'm very holistic I am also a total science geek. The nervous system scan is what makes my practice so different and its why my patients LOVE that I can objectively look at what's going on in their body.

So what do those scans mean?

While at most offices you pay a fee to come get adjusted, upper cervical care is very different. Here knowledge of how to take and read a scan is the most important part of your care.
Scanning tells us when and more importantly when not to adjust.

Why is this important?

When your body is not truly stuck and just struggling - we want to let your body learn how to work through it and come out on the other side successful. We want your body to learn how to get through to healing on its own.

These are the most common types of scans we see:

CLEAR - your body is in balance and working the way it should. (NO ADJUSTMENT)

PATTERN - your body is literally stuck in this pattern and you MUST ADJUST to get unstuck and start healing again.

REDUCED PATTERN - a mild version of your pattern which tells us your body really is struggling, but we're going to let it TRY to work itself out! (NO ADJUSTMENT)

ADAPTATION - a mirror image of your pattern. Your body is working on trying to work itself out. (NO ADJUSTMENT)

STRESS - a highly imbalanced and usually all over the place scan (you can probably feel it too) but not your stuck pattern. Rest is most important during this time and NO ADJUSTMENT!

HEAT - mild shifts off a clear scan. (NO ADJUSTMENT)

Want to learn how to lose 10 pounds fast! → FIX YOUR POSTURE!

If you struggle with your posture - there could be a reason! I always have patients tell me that they're trying to strengthen their postural muscles and it hurts or they try to sit with good posture and it hurts - there is a reason - and it's not because those muscles are necessarily weak.

If you're trying to strengthen those muscles on a BAD FOUNDATION (your structure/spine) you are working AGAINST yourself!!

Getting the alignment settled before strengthening is the key to making it easier and long lasting.

YES - I have many patients that end up in the office with stenosis, disc issues, or fusions because they are afraid to see a traditional chiropractor.

The best thing about upper cervical work is that we can focus on the cause of the issue without aggravating the area of injury.

Even in cases of disc herniation - as long as it hasn't extruded - there is still some chance we can help reduce pain and improve quality of life without surgery.

AND - if you have had surgery and still haven't gotten the relief you're looking for - THERE IS STILL A CHANCE!!

These two patients have neck pain, tinnitus, vertigo and migraines between them - and they are seeing changes!

Call to chat and see if upper cervical work is the right approach for you!
