A high school athlete came in with what started as a back injury.

What it had become was something far more complex. The pain had reorganized his nervous system to the point where communication between the left side of his body and the right side of his brain had completely broken down. And once that imbalance took hold, his autonomic nervous system started failing — his body lost the ability to manage being upright against gravity. Every time he stood up, his nervous system couldn’t coordinate the response. What looked like a back problem had become a full dysautonomia picture.

His Brain Reset Score on day one was 34/100.

By the end of the week it was 93/100!

That number isn’t a feeling. It’s a measurement — pulled from his vestibular function, eye movements, balance, reaction time, and symptom burden. It tells us exactly where the nervous system was breaking down on day one and exactly how much it shifted by day four. In this case, it shifted dramatically.

Cases like this one don’t always get the right answer on the first try. They get labeled, managed, and told to rest. But when you look at the nervous system with the right depth of evaluation, a game plan becomes clear — and the brain has a remarkable capacity to reorganize when it gets the right input.

There is hope for cases like this. And there is a plan!

If you or someone you know is dealing with complex neurological symptoms, POTS, dysautonomia, post-concussion syndrome, chronic pain, brain fog, or anything that hasn’t had a clear answer, we would love to help!

When a parent walks into Brain Health and Chiropractic with their child, the question almost every one of them asks is some version of the same sentence: I just want to know if we can make things easier for my child.

They're not asking for a miracle. They're asking whether there's a missing piece. Most of them have known something was off for a long time — they just couldn't name it, and nobody else seemed willing to look hard enough.

So the first thing we do is look. A long, comprehensive exam — how the eyes are working, how the balance centers are working, whether the primitive reflex systems are integrated or still retained, whether one side of the brain is being affected differently than the other. By the end of that exam, we will have a real picture of what we can optimize.

From that picture, we build a care plan that's specific to that child's brain.

Not generic. Not "let's try this and see." Specific.

And the answer to the parent's question — can we make life easier for my child? — is almost always yes. Not because we say so. Because the exam shows us where.

Most people who walk through our doors have already tried everything else.

We're Brain Health and Chiropractic in Sioux Falls, South Dakota — and we work with cases that don't yet have a clear answer.

Dr. Cooper Dykstra and our team work exclusively with complex neurological conditions.

Adults dealing with chronic dizziness, post-concussion syndrome, POTS, dysautonomia, head pressure, and balance issues that won't resolve no matter what they try.

Kids are struggling with ADHD, post-concussion syndrome, autism, emotional dysregulation, behavioral issues, and coordination problems that nobody has been able to fully explain.

These aren't hopeless cases. They're neurological cases — and there's a difference
Our 4-Day Brain Reset Program was built specifically for this population. Intensive, targeted, and designed to find the piece of the puzzle that traditional care keeps missing.

If that sounds like where you or your child are right now, you're in the right place.

There's a moment in functional neurology where something shifts — and after that, you can't think about health the same way again.

The brain controls attention, focus, balance, coordination, digestion, and mood. Every system running in the background of a person's daily life. And through targeted, specific therapy, we can actually influence it.

Dr. Natalie hit that moment. Once you understand what optimizing these systems can do for a child struggling with ADHD, autism, coordination problems, or behavior that nobody can explain, the question stops being can we help and becomes how much more can we learn.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to at BHC. And it's the foundation the Brain Reset Program was built on.

If your child has been evaluated, diagnosed, and is still not thriving, there may be a neurological piece nobody has looked at yet.

That's exactly where we start.

The body knows how to heal. Our job is to get out of the way and let it.

Most people living with chronic neurological symptoms are stuck in a state of fight or flight. Their nervous system is so overwhelmed trying to manage the chaos that it never gets the chance to rest — and a body that can't rest cannot heal.

What we do at Brain Health and Chiropractic is work from the foundation up. The brainstem. The cerebellum. The structures that everything else in your body depends on. When those systems are dysregulated, nothing downstream works the way it should.

Attention.
Balance.
Digestion.
Sleep.
Mood.
Energy.

Build a stronger, more balanced foundation in the brain — and the body starts doing what it was always designed to do.

Rest.
Repair.
Recover.

The brain is the control center for every system in your body. That's not a philosophy. That's anatomy. And it's exactly why we start there — every single time.

This is the core of the Brain Reset Program. It's why we see changes in people who had stopped believing change was possible.

The best clinicians usually arrived here the hard way.

Dr. Natalie's health started declining in middle and high school. She went looking for answers — found chiropractic, then functional medicine, then applied kinesiology. Each one moved her forward. And then came the question she couldn't shake:
What about the brain? What are we leaving on the table?

That question led her to functional neurology. And now she brings everything she learned — as a patient and a practitioner — to families who are still asking the same questions she once was.

Kids with ADHD who've been told to just manage it. Kids who struggle with coordination, focus, sensory processing, and behavior—not because something is “wrong” with them, but because their brain didn’t get the right input at the right time during development.

Families who have done everything right and still don't have answers.

There's power in a provider who has been on the other side of the table. We don't take that lightly.

If you get adjusted, feel relief for a few hours, and then everything comes back — that's not a failure of care. That's a clue.

It means the problem isn't structural. It's neurological.

Here's what that actually looks like: a whiplash injury affects the brainstem. The brainstem controls eye posture. Now one eye is sitting slightly off — subtle enough that nobody catches it, but significant enough that your brain starts compensating to avoid double vision. That compensation creates chronic neck tension. You get adjusted. The tension releases temporarily. The compensation kicks right back in.
The adjustment didn't fail you. Nobody followed the clue.

This is exactly the kind of case the Brain Reset Program was built for. We look at the eyes — how they track, how they stabilize, how they work as a team. We look at the neck — not just structurally, but how it's communicating with the brain. We look at coordination — because when those systems are off, the whole body compensates in ways that create symptoms people have been chasing for years.

Concussion. POTS. Chronic dizziness. Persistent neck pain. Brain fog that won't lift. These aren't mysteries. They're patterns — and we know what to look for.

If that sounds like where you are right now — reach out. That's exactly what we're here for.

We want to introduce someone who has shaped the direction of this practice in a real way.

Dr. Natalie Haken grew up right here in South Dakota, completed her chiropractic training at Northwestern Health Sciences University, and joined BHC with a specific focus — pediatric care, early intervention, and the understanding that what we do for a child's nervous system at 8 years old doesn't just help them at 8.

It follows them.

The nervous system is most adaptable when it's young. Kids dealing with ADHD, autism, coordination struggles, and behavior issues aren't just difficult cases — they're enormous opportunities to change the trajectory of a life.

That's the lens Dr. Natalie brings to the Brain Reset Program every single day.

We're grateful she's here. 👏

Chiropractic care works. We use it every day.

But there are questions it can't answer on its own — and those are the questions we built this practice around.

When someone comes in here, we don't start with the spine. We're starting with the brain. The circuits running your eyes, your coordination, your balance centers, and your frontal lobe. The wiring that controls how every system in your body communicates.

Functional neurology asks: Where did that communication break down?

We see it in adults dealing with concussion, POTS, chronic dizziness, and brain fog that nobody has been able to explain. We see it in kids struggling with ADHD, autism, coordination problems, and behavior that doesn't respond to the usual approaches. Different presentations. Same root question — what is the brain not doing that it should be?

That's exactly what the Brain Reset Program was built for. We examine the eyes, the neck, and coordination — three systems that tell us more about what's happening neurologically than almost anything else.

Most practices aren't doing this work.

We built an entire clinic around it. That's the difference.

I was ejected from a vehicle at fourteen years old.

Left leg paralyzed. Six weeks. Every scan they ran came back completely clean. No fractures. No bleeds. No explanation. Just a freshman in high school who couldn't walk, and a stack of normal test results that said nothing was wrong.

I was a medical mystery. And every provider we saw was too afraid to treat me.
I recovered. Slowly. Through rest, time, and a lot of prayer. But nobody ever told me why.

It took me until chiropractic school to finally understand what had happened to my own body. The paralysis was nerve and hip inflammation that imaging couldn't pick up. The concussion from that same accident had been quietly wiring my brain into a state of chronic dysfunction for years — driving the seasonal depression, the intense head pressure, the symptoms I had just accepted as part of who I was.

Nobody connected the dots. Because nobody was looking at the brain.

And here's what made me the angriest — it wasn't that the answers didn't exist. It was that the tools to find them existed. The knowledge existed. The problem was that nobody put it all together.

So I did.

Brain Health and Chiropractic in Sioux Falls exists because of that kid who couldn't walk and couldn't get a straight answer. I built it for the people the system doesn't know what to do with.

Adults with post-concussion syndrome who are two years out and still not right. POTS patients who've seen every specialist and left every appointment with a shrug.

People with chronic dizziness, head pressure, and brain fog so thick they've stopped explaining it to people because nobody believes them anyway.

Kids with ADHD who've been medicated but never actually evaluated neurologically.

Kids who struggle with coordination, focus, sensory processing, and behavior—not because something is “wrong” with them, but because their brain didn’t get the right input at the right time during development.

Families who are exhausted, out of options, and just need someone to actually look.

We look.

Olivia saw a 75% improvement in her dysautonomia symptoms after her brain reset intensive week!

Prior to starting care, her goal was to be able to walk from one class to another without feeling symptomatic and needing to sit down. One week later, she has been enjoying playing pickleball with her friends in the sun!
