A holistic chiropractor is one that goes beyond just adjusting the spine. A holistic chiropractor is a practitioner who has studied beyond their doctorate degree. They spend thousands of hours studying other aspects or health related conditions not considered in the arena of a traditional chiropractor.

​

What makes a holistic chiropractor unique is that they have specialized training in eliminating the three main stressors of the body.  These body stressors consist of physical, chemical, and emotional health. Traditional chiropractors mainly focus on the physical aspect of the triad of health.

​

In holistic chiropractic there is strong emphasis on examining all three sides of the triad of health and directing natural therapeutic efforts to each.

​

​

The human skull is comprised of 22 bones that are joined together with sutures. It was discovered in the mid 70’s that there is a space between the bones in the skull and it contains a blood supply, nerve supply and connective tissue.

​

A misaligned skull can exert extra pressure on the brain which interferes with the brain’s nutrient and oxygen supply, where pain and altered functions can be a direct result of the added intra-cranial pressure. Proper blood supply and CSF flow are essential to maintaining a healthy brain. The onset of your health problems may be the result of an injury to the head.

​

Cranial adjustments restore alignment to the bones in the head and face through precise pressure applied by the doctor’s hands or an adjusting instrument over or near the junctions (sutures) of the bones.

​

The bones of the head are separate moving parts, wonderfully designed by nature to move and adjust as the baby travels through the birth canal.

​

A baby’s head is designed to be flexible and strong enough to push its way out under pressure. However, problems can occur when cranial bones get twisted or compressed, and then stay out of shape.

​

Cranial bone misalignment could have an impact on other central nervous system nerves that branch out from the spinal area transmitting essential messages to and from the whole body. These require good skeletal alignment and space to function properly.

​

Keeping this in mind, you can see how your baby could be feeling discomfort in the gut area and could be trying to communicate this to you through crying and through body language.

​

Minor misalignment could be interfering with essential messages efficiently reaching the digestive system, resulting in your baby experiencing colicky systems.

​

If your child suffers from any of the following, cranial adjusting may help:

• Facial asymmetry

• Plagiocephaly, Brachycephaly, or Scaphocephaly

• Torticollis

• Unexplained irritability

• Repetitive ear infections

• Colic or Gastroesophageal reflux 

• Experienced birth or head trauma

“It is important to note that CFR is not directed at the treatment of any one specific disease or disorder. It’s primary objective is to mobilize the cranial bones, unlock cranial fixations, open the breathing passageways, facilitate cerebral spinal fluid flow, increase vascular flow to and venous drainage from the cranium, and optimizes brain function. This often times improves symptoms related to various neurological disorders.”

The objective of CFR technique is to induce mobility in the cranial system – specifically the sphenoid bone – with the purpose of facilitating normal cranial respiratory function. The technique is performed by inserting tiny balloons in the nose (specifically the naso pharynx) then quickly inflating them to mobilize the cranial bones. It feels very similar to the sensation experienced when one jumps into a swimming pool and gets water up their nose. The whole procedure takes about 2 to 3 seconds, and it consists a 6 to 10 treatment for optimal results.

Patients who seek CFR treatment are usually people who have been through the gamut and are looking for an alternative non-drug/non-surgical approach to wellness! Most of these people have suffered a great deal, and they are tired of being sick and drug-dependent.

The intention of Mind Body Spirit Release (MBSR™) is to identify the subconscious imprints (emotions) that are contributing to harmful patterns that we inadvertently perpetuate. Additionally, MBSR™ helps to reduce emotional and physical stress on the body. 

​

The identification of the emotion(s) or the combination of emotions, limiting beliefs, hormones, neurotransmitters (and more) that are repeatedly mobilized and causing stress in the body is done through a form of muscle response testing.  

​

Just as the body retains cellular memories and can recall them when provoked, it can also unlearn this response. Once Dr. Vanessa has identified the collection of emotions, limiting beliefs, and chemicals that are impairing the body, she will mitigate these stressors through cold laser therapy. A cold laser light is used over acupressure points to calm the nervous system response and release the negative imprints stored in the subconscious. When the body has cleared these stressors, individuals can be released from burdens brought on by years of stress and anxiety.  By identifying and mitigating detrimental thoughts and/or habits, MBSR™ enables you to work through limiting subconscious beliefs and memories in order to make more purposeful decisions present-day.

​

MBSR™ is great for those seeking to:

• Reduce the effects of stress and stressful triggers on the mind and body.

• Release limiting emotional baggage.

• Create and foster healthier relationships.

• Develop healthier boundaries.

• Become aware of and more in control of what behaviors are driving actions.

• Develop a deeper sense of love and self-forgiveness.

• Experience more physical and emotional balance.

The RASHA Technology combines healing sciences inspired by quantum-level physics technologies of Nikola Tesla, Antoine Prioreand Royal Rife, along with the RASHA’s inventor, Dr. Jere Rivera-Dugenio’s proprietary base 12 algorithms. It is an authentic scalar sound-plasma system that assists the human organism to achieve stress relief and relaxation in order to reclaim its innate ability to self-heal via harmonization of the autonomic nervous system, brain hemisphere synchronization, emotional/trauma release and systematic chakra alignment.

​

The RASHA Advantages:

• Stress relief/relaxation

• Activate potential DNA

• Boosts immune system

• Chakra harmonization/clearing

• Brain hemisphere synchronization

• Healing regeneration

• Muscle & joint pain release

• Energy boost

• Cellular detox

• Energy healing (Source Spiral)

• Mind expansion

• Focus & clarity

• Mood support

​

30 and 60 minute sessions are available

Infrared Sauna technology is a key component to detoxification of chemicals, mold, pathogens, and other toxins. The infrared sauna will heat the body similar to a fever to burn off infections and mobilize toxins improving the body’s natural elimination process.

​

Dr. Josh and Dr. Vanessa utilize infrared sauna therapy for different benefits for their patients. Dr. Josh mainly recommends it for its benefits of pain relief, muscle recovery, improving circulation and reduction of inflammation, while Dr. Vanessa usually recommends it to her patients for detoxification, relaxation, and immune support.

​
