The first step in helping a child’s brain develop is ridding persistent primitive reflexes. Most children with developmental issues have retained reflexes of some kind. Here’s an easy way to understand if your child is struggling.

Thanks 🧠

Blessed to be able to offer this type of therapy each day 🧠

“Brain photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy using red to near-infrared (NIR) light is an innovative treatment for a wide range of neurological and psychological conditions. Red/NIR light is able to stimulate complex IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (cytochrome c oxidase) and increase ATP synthesis. Moreover, light absorption by ion channels results in release of Ca2+ and leads to activation of transcription factors and gene expression. Brain PBM therapy enhances the metabolic capacity of neurons and stimulates anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant responses, as well as neurogenesis and synaptogenesis. Its therapeutic role in disorders such as dementia and Parkinson’s disease, as well as to treat stroke, brain trauma, and depression has gained increasing interest.”

You may be seeing our newest clinician around the office! 🐶

Meet Oscar, he is beginning to spend more time in the office and with patients in hopes to make kiddos more relaxed when they come in to see us.

Please feel free to stop for a pet or a sniff because he loves to meet new friends.
