Our team of four doctors brings decades of combined experience in treating complex health challenges, including Long COVID, post-concussive syndrome, and child developmental delays. We operate on the principle that the bodys innate intelligence can heal itself when provided with precise structural stability, focusing on the pelvis, spine, and cranium as the foundation for systemic health.With a commitment to evidence-based practice, weve conducted research demonstrating significant symptom improvement in Long COVID patients, including 90% reductions in severe symptoms. Our approach integrates advanced chiropractic techniques with energy kinesiology, offering lasting relief where traditional methods fall short.

Axial Stability Method
Axial Stability Method is a gentle, low-force chiropractic technique that stabilizes the body's core structures to relieve chronic pain and improve systemic health. This approach addresses biomechanical injuries by resetting the central nervous system's spatial awareness, treating conditions ranging from post-concussive syndrome to developmental delays. Patients experience lasting relief through precise, instrument-assisted adjustments that promote natural healing without manual manipulation.
Long COVID Treatment
Our specialized Long COVID protocol uses Axial Stability Method to address persistent symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and respiratory issues. Clinical research shows 90% symptom reduction in 67 severe cases, with average recovery achieved in 18 visits. This non-invasive treatment restores neurological stability and metabolic efficiency, helping patients regain pre-COVID functionality through targeted biomechanical corrections.
Concussion Recovery
Our concussion treatment protocol addresses both brain and neck injuries through precise chiropractic adjustments. By correcting suboccipital muscle dysfunction and dural tension, we alleviate symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and cognitive impairment. The method combines energy kinesiology with structural stabilization to resolve chronic post-concussive symptoms that persist after initial injury recovery.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Specialized chiropractic care for children with developmental delays and sensory processing disorders. Our gentle Axial Stability Method stabilizes core biomechanical structures to reduce nervous system stress, promoting neurological development. Treatments address issues from birth trauma to acquired injuries, with most children showing significant progress within 8-10 sessions targeting motor skills, language development, and behavioral regulation.
Biomechanical Injury
Comprehensive treatment for injuries causing chronic musculoskeletal instability, including birth trauma, falls, and sports injuries. Our approach identifies and corrects central nervous system confusion about body positioning through precise adjustments. This restores proper biomechanical relationships, alleviating compensatory muscle spasms and joint restrictions while improving systemic health outcomes across neurological, immune, and digestive functions.
