Neuro Based Chiropractic Care
“The powder that made the body heals the body.” - B.J. Palmer
Dr. Kathy is board certified in chiropractic and physiotherapy. Her techniques are precise and integrated. She specializes in craniopathy, visceral manipulation, and their somatic relationships. With her extensive study in structured water, Dr. Kathy focuses on the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of each patient, which in Chinese medicine, where the rhythm of Qi, the vital force can be detected.
Central Nervous System
The nervous system being the foundation of health, her whole body approach harmonizes both the central and the autonomic nervous system. The central nervous system comprises the brain and spinal cord. While there are approximately 13.5 millions of neurons in the spinal cord, there are 100 billion neurons in the brain. For this reason, cranial adjustment (26 cranial bones of the skull) is vital in Dr. Kathy’s care. Cranial adjustment is particularly effective for pediatric care, hormonal balance, head injury, insomnia, and TMJ disorder.
Automatic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls involuntary functions of internal organs such as heart rate, breathing, and digestive processes. ANS is divided into sympathetic (flight or flight) which response to acute, intense stress and parasympathetic (rest and digest) which relaxes and calms the body. Parasympathetic fibers are found in 4 cranial nerves and 3 sacral nerves with 75-80% being concentrated in vagus nerve. Another reason why cranial and visceral works are vital to bring your body back into greater function and balance.
The nervous system is incredibly unique because it is the means of communication between every cell and organ of our physical body, mind, emotions, and all of our feelings whether visceral such as gut instinct or more subtle and psychic such as intuition, and eventually to consciousness.
When necessary, Dr. Kathy provides other healing modalities mindfully blending ancient and modern medicines. It is important to note that her work is not a crack or a massage, but specific interaction with the body to reestablish the integrity of the nervous system.
