FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • The first year of baby’s life is when their nervous system is developing the most. Our nervous system leads us, as it controls how we experience & perceive life. As regulatory systems (digestive, hormonal, sensory, circadian) are developing… maintaining a well-balanced nervous system will help baby adapt to life’s earliest stressors.

    Our heart is to cultivate a community that encourages health for the next generation. This starts and continues with our kids! We want our kids to experience life (& life to the full!) through a lifestyle that advocates for health and wellness.

  • Baby’s nervous system is developing through Mom’s nervous system. In short, what mom experiences leading up to and during pregnancy has an effect on baby’s development in-utero.

    Mom & baby take on a lot of stress throughout pregnancy. Our goal is to create ease and comfort as Mom’s body supplies every thing baby needs. Chiropractic care facilitates an optimal environment as Mom prepares for labor and birth. We believe that prenatal chiropractic care is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and birth.

    We recommend finding a chiropractor that is certified in Webster Technique (like us!) from the ICPA. Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation / SI joint dysfunction.

  • We are a nervous system centered chiropractic office. The technique that we use is called MC2.

    Chiropractic techniques fit into 3 basic models based on the three body systems primarily addressed by chiropractors. Chiropractic intimately involves itself with the skeletal system, the muscle system and the nervous system. Therefore, while all chiropractic techniques involve all three systems, the techniques themselves can be differentiated from one another based on their method of assessment and their method of correction.

    Segmental or skeletal system centered chiropractic techniques adjust vertebrae that are not in their optimum position back to a more normal position and, in so doing, affect the nervous system first and then the muscle system next.

    Postural or muscle system centered chiropractic techniques first involve putting tension or relaxation within the muscle system in order to allow an easier structural adjustment to take place. In so doing, this approach involves the muscle system first which then affects the skeletal system and then, finally, the nervous system.

    Tonal or nervous system centered chiropractic techniques are not muscle or bone based but rather focus on the nervous system and the related changes in a person’s physiology. As such, tonal chiropractic techniques look at the nervous system first and the doctor’s input into the nervous system then affects the muscle system which, in turn, affects the skeletal system.

    Since all three technique models work and produce good results, why would we prefer a tonal approach? The answer comes in understanding how the interference to a person’s nervous system takes place to begin with. Did the bone move out of place thus affecting the nerve which then affects the muscle? Bones cannot move by themselves so there must have been a muscle imbalance first. Did the muscle imbalance occur first thereby causing the bone to move out of its normal position? Muscles do not think or act on their own so a muscle imbalance can only be the result of an unbalanced nerve supply to the muscles. So, the bone can only move if a muscle moves it and a muscle will only move when the nervous system tells it to. For us then, it makes more sense to address the nervous system first so all else can follow.

  • We get this question often, so thank you for seeking to understand what we do. We don’t participate with insurance in our office, as insurance companies are focused on covering short-term, symptom relief care. To keep it simple — we are a direct pay office. We are not in network with any insurance companies because we cannot deliver our standard of care when a third-party is involved, telling us what we can and cannot do for our practice members.

    Most often, our wellness and family plans are lower than most co-pays for insurance. Many of our practice members choose to use HSA & FSA cards — as those are more fitting for families seeking wellness and preventative care.

    We want to create sufficient space for your family because we know that financial health is important when it comes to your overall health. We have different payment options to meet you where you’re at.
