What you’re watching isn’t just a movement test.

When we ask a patient to reach overhead and cross the midline of their body to tap a target — we’re watching how well the left and right sides of their brain are communicating with each other.

A healthy nervous system makes this look effortless.

But when there’s interference in the spine — when joints have been loaded wrong and firing distorted signals — you start to see it here.

Hesitation.

Compensation.

One side noticeably different from the other.

The brain has to work harder to complete a movement that should be automatic.

This is one of the neurological tests we run on every new patient. Not because we’re looking for weakness — but because we’re looking at how your nervous system is actually functioning right now.

The body doesn’t lie.

And this is where we start.

This squat does something different.

When you activate your inner thigh muscles — your adductors — your nervous system automatically relaxes the overactive muscles in your glutes and low back.

It’s called reciprocal inhibition.

One turns on, the other turns off.

That constant guarding? It finally has permission to soften.

But here’s the real magic:

This movement is pain-free.

Your brain is getting new information — squatting doesn’t hurt, the pelvis is stable, we don’t have to brace anymore.

With every rep, your nervous system is learning it’s safe to move again.

The adjustment sends new proprioceptive input to the brain from your pelvis and spine.

This exercise reinforces that input and teaches your nervous system it’s okay to let go.

Together they retrain your body to stop guarding and start moving freely again.

Leaky Gut = Leaky Everything 🚨

Your gut lining is ONE CELL THICK.

That's it. One single layer of cells between the outside world and your bloodstream!

When that barrier is healthy, it's like a tight fortress:
✅ Nutrients get absorbed
✅ Toxins stay out
✅ Immune system stays balanced

But when you have LEAKY GUT, things that should NEVER enter your bloodstream start leaking through:
❌ Food proteins
❌ Bacteria and endotoxins
❌ Heavy metals and toxins

Your immune system FREAKS OUT and attacks everything.

Inflammation goes EVERYWHERE:
🔥 Joints → pain and arthritis
🔥 Skin → acne, eczema, rashes
🔥 Brain → fog, anxiety, depression
🔥 Thyroid → Hashimoto's and hormone issues

Leaky gut doesn't stay in your gut - it becomes leaky brain, leaky joints, leaky EVERYTHING!

What causes it?
⚡ Chronic stress (cortisol damages gut lining)
⚡ Subluxations (nervous system can't coordinate healing)
⚡ Seed oils, sugar, processed foods
⚡ Medications (NSAIDs, antibiotics, PPIs)

Chiropractic adjustments reduce stress hormones and inflammation, allowing your gut barrier to HEAL 💚

Ready to seal that gut? Let's start with your spine!

90% of Your Serotonin Lives in Your GUT 😮

Feeling anxious or depressed? Your gut might be the problem!

Your gut produces 90% of your body's serotonin - your "happy" neurotransmitter. Not your brain... your GUT! 🤯

When your gut is inflamed or your microbiome is imbalanced:
😰 You can't produce enough serotonin
🧠 Brain fog and mood issues develop
😴 Sleep suffers (serotonin converts to melatonin)
⚡ Energy tanks

This is why so many people with gut issues also struggle with anxiety and depression. It's not in your head - it's in your GUT!

And your gut health is controlled by your nervous system. The vagus nerve and spinal nerves coordinate everything happening in your digestive tract.

Subluxations = Disrupted nerve signals = Poor gut function = Low serotonin

Fix the nervous system → Heal the gut → Restore the serotonin 💚

This is why chiropractic care is foundational for mental and digestive health!

Broomstick Sweep + Deep Lateral Bend: Teaching Your Body Complex Coordination

What you’re seeing: Crossed stance, big toe drive, side bend, diagonal broomstick sweep.

What’s actually happening: Full-body neurological integration.

Here’s why this matters:

The Big Toe Drive: Activates your entire posterior chain from toe to skull. This one point of contact stabilizes your whole kinetic chain.

The Crossed Stance: Creates a neurological challenge forcing your brain to coordinate balance, stability, and movement simultaneously.

The Lateral Bend + Sweep: Recruits scapular stabilizers, rotator cuff, and thoracolumbar fascia in a cross-body pattern your brain needs to master for real-world movement.
This isn’t random.

This is neural re-education.
Most chiropractors adjust and send you home. We adjust, then retrain your nervous system for lasting results.

The adjustment removes interference. This exercise retrains function.

When your brain can coordinate complex patterns like this, simple movements (reaching, lifting, turning) become effortless and pain-free.

That’s how you get better—and stay better.

Your Gut Has a Brain 🧠💚

Did you know your gut has over 100 MILLION nerve cells? That's more than your spinal cord!

Scientists call it your "second brain" - the Enteric Nervous System. And it's in constant communication with your actual brain through the VAGUS NERVE.

This nerve controls everything:
🥗 Digestion and enzyme production
🛡️ Immune function (70% lives in your gut!)
😊 Mood and serotonin production
🔥 Inflammation levels

But here's the problem: When you're stressed, subluxations in your spine interfere with vagus nerve function. Your brain tells your gut, "We're in danger - shut down digestion!"

Result? Bloating. Gas. Reflux. Constipation. Poor nutrient absorption.

You can't digest food properly when your nervous system is stuck in "fight or flight" mode! 🚨

The vagus nerve runs right through your upper cervical spine - especially the atlas (C1). When we adjust your neck and upper back, we're activating that nerve and switching your body into "rest and digest" mode. 💚

Ready to optimize your gut-brain connection? It starts with your spine!

Everything You Learned About Reflexes This Month 💚

March= Primitive Reflexes Month!

Here's what we covered:

🧠 Primitive reflexes aren't just for babies - they affect adults too!

📊 TLR (Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex) - causes poor posture, balance problems, motion sickness

🎯 ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex) - affects focus, coordination, reading, bilateral skills

💡 Retained reflexes explain chronic symptoms adults have had for DECADES

The common thread? Your nervous system is stuck in infant movement patterns!

When reflexes don't integrate:

Your brainstem is running primitive programs

Your body can't access mature movement and coordination

Chronic symptoms develop that seem unrelated to reflexes

But here's the amazing part: Chiropractic adjustments restore proper brainstem and spinal cord function, allowing reflexes to integrate at ANY age!

Combined with specific exercises, adults can finally resolve symptoms they thought were "just how I am" 💚

Ready to integrate your reflexes?

Step 1: Get assessed (which reflexes are active?)
Step 2: Get adjusted (optimize nervous system function)
Step 3: Add targeted exercises (support integration)

Call us: 440-639-1100

It's never too late to upgrade your nervous system!

Adult Symptoms You Didn't Know Were Reflexes 🤯

Chronic anxiety? Retained Moro reflex. Terrible posture? Retained TLR.

Can't focus when your head turns? Retained ATNR.

Constant fidgeting? Retained Spinal Galant.

Poor handwriting? Retained Palmer Grasp.

Most adults have NO IDEA their chronic symptoms are actually retained primitive reflexes!

These infant reflexes should have integrated in early childhood.

But subluxations, stress, trauma, difficult birth, or skipped developmental stages (like crawling) can prevent integration.

And they cause problems for LIFE... until you address them.

Adult symptoms of retained reflexes:
😰 Anxiety and panic attacks
🧍 Chronic neck/back pain
🎯 Focus and attention problems
📚 Reading difficulties
⚖️ Balance and coordination issues
🤢 Motion sickness
💤 Sleep disturbances
😤 Emotional dysregulation
📝 Poor handwriting
🏃 Clumsiness

The incredible news? Adults can integrate reflexes at ANY age through chiropractic care + targeted exercises!

Your nervous system is adaptable. It's never too late to upgrade from "baby software" to "adult operating system" 💚

Think you might be affected? We assess reflexes in adults all the time.

Your shoulder pain isn’t a shoulder problem. It’s a coordination problem.

The suspended off set shoulder reset-what you see Johnny working on in the video…

Your brain has never had to coordinate this before.

And that’s exactly why it works.

When you challenge one leg and the opposite arm simultaneously — you’re activating cross-body neural pathways the way your body was designed to move.

Walking. Running. Throwing. Reaching.

Your nervous system is hardwired for contralateral patterns.

The single-leg balance forces your brain to actively stabilize your entire body while your shoulder works — not just isolate the arm.

The ball contact gives constant proprioceptive feedback — you can’t cheat with momentum, you can’t compensate with the wrong muscles.

Your scapula has to maintain proper position while your arm moves AND while your body balances.

That forces the deep scapular stabilizers to fire correctly — serratus anterior, lower trap, rhomboids — not just the big movers that take over when coordination breaks down.

Here’s what most people don’t understand about chronic shoulder pain:

It’s not that your rotator cuff is weak.

It’s that your nervous system stopped coordinating your scapula correctly — so your rotator cuff has been compensating, getting overloaded, and breaking down.

Strengthening an overworked muscle doesn’t fix the pattern.

Retraining the coordination does.

The adjustment sends new proprioceptive input to the brain from your cervical and thoracic spine.

This exercise reinforces that input by challenging the exact scapular-thoracic coordination patterns that depend on proper spinal communication.

Together they retrain the brain and body to stabilize your shoulder the way it was designed to — automatically, efficiently, and without pain.

Not a stronger shoulder. A nervous system that remembers how to coordinate it.

ATNR: The Reflex That Affects Learning 📖

"I'm smart, but reading has always been hard."
"I have to re-read things multiple times."
"My eyes lose their place on the page."

This isn't dyslexia. This isn't lack of intelligence.

This could be a retained ATNR (Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex).

Here's what happens with retained ATNR:
When you turn your head (even slightly), your arms want to move in the fencing position.

So when you're reading and your eyes track from left to right, your primitive reflex is fighting against your voluntary movement!

Result?

Your eyes can't track smoothly across the page
You lose your place constantly
Reading feels exhausting
You struggle to focus on text
Adults with retained ATNR also struggle with:
Typing without looking at the keyboard
Bilateral sports (tennis, golf, swimming)
Driving while checking blind spots
Any task requiring crossing midline

The solution? Upper cervical chiropractic adjustments + specific cross-crawl and bilateral integration exercises.

We've seen adults who struggled with reading their entire lives finally integrate ATNR in their 30s, 40s, 50s... and reading becomes EASY for the first time 💚
It's never too late to upgrade your nervous system!

Tiny movement. Massive neurological demand.

Here’s what’s happening:

Your brain has to consciously control pelvic position in an asymmetrical stance — something it normally does automatically without thinking.

That forces your nervous system to build new proprioceptive maps for where your pelvis is in space and how to control it with precision.

The offset position challenges your deep core stabilizers — QL, obliques, transverse abdominis — to fire correctly under an uneven load.

Not just strength. Coordination.

The small, controlled range means you can’t compensate. You can’t use momentum. You can’t let the dominant side take over.

Your brain has to find symmetry.

This is especially powerful for anyone with: → SI joint instability or pain → Hip imbalances (leaning into one side habitually) → Scoliosis or postural asymmetry → Chronic low back tension that keeps returning

Here’s what most people don’t understand:

SI joint problems aren’t just structural. They’re neurological.

Your brain has learned to stabilize unevenly — letting one side dominate, compensating around dysfunction, creating patterns that keep recreating the problem.

The adjustment sends new proprioceptive input to the brain from your pelvis and lumbar spine.

This exercise reinforces that input by teaching your nervous system to find balance and control on both sides — not just default to the pattern it’s been using for years.

Together they retrain the brain and body to stabilize symmetrically again.

That’s what creates long-term change.

Not just a stronger core. A nervous system that knows how to coordinate it evenly.
