WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST VISIT

WHAT IS APPLIED KINESIOLOGY?

Applied Kinesiology is a method we use to evaluate how your body is functioning. By gently testing your muscles, we can identify imbalances or issues in your body's systems.

This approach combines techniques from various therapies, including chiropractic adjustments, muscle therapy, nutrition, and acupuncture points, to support your overall health.

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?

Functional Medicine is a modern, personalized approach to healthcare that looks at the root causes of illness, not just the symptoms. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all treatment, it considers your genetics, lifestyle, environment, and nutrition to understand how different systems in your body are working — or not working — together. The goal is to find out why you’re experiencing health issues and create a plan that supports long-term healing and prevention. This may include targeted supplements, changes in diet, detoxification, or lifestyle adjustments designed specifically for you.

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY?

Functional Neurology is a specialized area of care that focuses on how well your brain, nerves, and body communicate. Rather than looking for damage or disease in the nervous system, Functional Neurology looks at subtle changes in how your brain is functioning — and how that might be affecting things like balance, memory, movement, or pain. Through detailed assessments and non-invasive therapies such as brain-based exercises, sensory stimulation, eye movement training, and chiropractic adjustments, the goal is to gently retrain the nervous system to work more efficiently and help you feel better.
