Neurological Chiropractic
At Wakan Chiropractic we do not diagnose or treat any medical conditions; however, we identify and correct vertebral subluxations (i.e. blown fuses within your spine). Correcting those subluxations restores your nervous system to function and communicate better - ultimately healing better. This is a nerve-first technique. The nervous system is our main focus and all care is based around this essential system. Every organ and function of the body is under direct control of the nervous system! This is why we look to the nerve first and use a light-force technique.
Subluxation(s): When stress accumulates in our spine and starts to interfere with our brain and body connection, essentially that is a subluxation. The stress could be from abnormal joint motion, nerve pressure (pinched nerve), scar tissue/adhesions, misalignments, postural changes, emotional in origin, chemical in origin, big traumas etc. No matter the cause of stress, if unchanged it will alter the brain-body connection needed to properly function.
Light-Force technique
The light-force technique used here is similar to Talsky Tonal Chiropractic (TTC), Torque Release Technique (TRT), and Network Spinal (NS).
-These techniques look to input a corrective force to the spine and brain (nervous system) to empower the body to allow for greater coherence and expression of one’s healing and performance capabilities.
We look to use the lowest force possible to create the biggest change. This teaches and empowers your body to need less force in order to correct itself.
Many conventional chiropractors use high-force techniques where you have a thrust and hear cracking/popping; usually, joint motion is the main focuses with these techniques. Abnormal joint motion and surrounding muscles are looked to be corrected to then help the nervous system function. With neurological chiropractic, we look to the nerve first because the nerve controls the muscles, and the muscles are what move the joints, so affecting the nerves also affects the muscles and joints.
Pediatric Adjusting
With the light-force adjusting methods, the fears of children and infants getting checked & adjusted are put to ease. We use low forces to correct the nervous system, so the more fragile bodies of children and infants are able to receive the same adjustments that adults receive. Some conditions that respond well to chiropractic care for children are:
-Behavioral issues, ADHD/ADD, common sicknesses, bed-wetting, focusing issues, emotional issues, headaches, sleep issues, ear infections, digestive issues, anxiety issues etc.
Many (if not all) of these conditions stem from the nervous system, and many of these conditions start at or before birth. Maternal stress before or during pregnancy, the high instance of medical intervention with births - pain medications, C-sections, inducing labors, vacuum extraction, forceps extractions, and pulling on a newborn’s head and neck during the birth process all can be the cause of our first subluxations outside of our mother’s womb.
