We are very different from most Fort Collins chiropractors. Please read below to learn more about our chiropractic approach. If your question or concern isn’t answered here, please feel free to contact us and ask for a free consultation.
I have heard about the great results of gentle Network Chiropractic care, but do not understand how it works. Can you explain it simply?
Yes. With very gentle, specific contacts at the area of attachment where the spine and spinal cord connect, the nervous system picks up feedback and acts to recognize stress and tension in the neural tissue, spine, and throughout the body. Often during a gentle Network Chiropractic entrainment, your body uses your breath and spinal motion to dissipate this tension. The sequence of specific contacts acts very similarly to a combination lock. In order for the lock to open, the dial must specifically reach the exact numbers in the exact order specific to that lock.
My practice is filled with moms, infants, toddlers, teens, and children of all ages in between, pregnant women, dads, single people, grandparents, college students. Please know that I am highly selective as to who I work with and have been known to turn some people away. I “cherry pick” the people in my practice and do not work with everyone. The people I work best with are those committed to improving their health and becoming well. These people are highly motivated and involved in their care. They don’t expect me to heal them single handedly, but rather to facilitate their own healing by “opening the doors” within them. They learn that “the doctor” is within them and that only they can heal themselves.
People who suffer from fibromyalgia, fatigue, frequent colds, flu, ear infections, urinary tract infections, digestive symptoms, stiffness, neck and back pain, arm and leg pain, shoulder and knee pain, hormonal imbalances, premenstrual and menopausal symptoms, dizziness, ringing in the ears, irregular heart beats, difficulty breathing, pregnancy and delivery of baby, colic, skin conditions like eczema and acne, unhealthy emotional reactions and responses, mental stress, anguish, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, anger, hyperactivity, and difficulty in school are “a few” of the symptoms that respond very well to gentle Network Chiropractic Care.
I must be clear about the difference between quick fix care and care that heals at the core of you…your neural system. Gentle Network Chiropractic Care is not a quick fix care for any of these situations. It is an incredibly effective means to remove stress and tension from the core of you…your nervous system and balance your body and mind, so that you can create the healing of these conditions and many others.
Is it expensive? Does insurance cover this type of care?
No, it doesn’t have to be expensive. Once you decide which care recommendations works best for your schedule, we will go over the payments options with you. We accept cash, personal checks, MasterCard and Visa. We offer different plans to help make care much more affordable. Again, for the majority of people in my practice, one of these options works perfectly for their situation.
If your insurance covers chiropractic, it will cover gentle Network Chiropractic Care. Please call your insurance company or agent for your specific policy details. Our office will give you all the necessary paperwork so you can file your claim and get reimbursed.
I am a very busy person. Will I need ongoing care? If so, why?
Gentle Network Chiropractic Care has 4 levels of care…or degrees of depth…associated with the work. The first level of care is where we begin. On your examination, I will offer the best care options possible, so you can meet your health and wellness goals. For 95% of the people in my practice, one of these options work.
Depending on the option you choose, depends on how frequent you are getting entrained. Remember, to change a habit, repetition is important. And we are changing how your nervous system responds to stress and tension. Once you choose the option that works best for you, you can create your schedule based on what works for you. Ongoing visits run approximately 45 minutes, with the entrainments being half of that time.
Realize that your health did not decline when you started feeling the symptoms or from the last injury. This process of ill health occurs way before the symptoms are experienced. Over a period of time and accumulation of unresolved stressors (physical traumas, emotional triggers, conflicts, mental stress, chemical exposure) tension is stored in the spine, nervous system, and rest of the body and mind. So, in order to change the habit of where we place our stress and tension in our body, of the emotional triggers which create reaction (or overreaction), and of the mental chatter that drives our life, we may choose ongoing Network Chiropractic Care to create a change in our neurology and create new habits that are healthier for us.
How will you decide on the best Network Chiropractic care for me and what can I expect on my first visit?
On your initial visit, you will spend one-on-one time with me to discuss your health history, health concerns, how this has impacted your life, and what you would like to receive from your gentle Network Chiropractic care.
You will go through an examination consisting of computerized posture and spine studies to show how you have compensated from your stress and tension, a computerized scan of your nervous system to show the areas of stress in your nervous system, palpation of your spine to find out where you have stored the tension of your life, and specific Network Chiropractic Care checks to determine where the stress and tension is stored in your nervous system.
You and I will then determine if you are a candidate for gentle Network Chiropractic Care, and if so we will decide which care schedule works best for you and your health and wellness goals. Following your examination, on your second visit, I will serve you with my best, most honest recommendations for improved health and you can decide which is best for you. There is no pressure to start care at our office. You will also experience your first gentle Network Chiropractic entrainment
How quickly will I get results and what can I do on my own to support myself during my care?
In most cases, you will feel changes immediately. In some cases, the body needs to detoxify as it is healing. This may occur as symptoms like sinus drainage, feeling tired, increased bowel movements, or feeling weepy. These symptoms typically do not last very long. You’ll let me know if you experience any feelings in your body and mind that you are uncomfortable with, so I can support you through it.
Overall, how quickly you experience results varies depending on how severe your current health situation is, how you have taken care of your body and mind in the past, and how you take care of yourself from this moment on. The way you take care of yourself will definitely have an impact on your care results.
Making you and your health a priority and keeping your recommended care schedule is critical for progressing. Also eating fresh, whole foods, drinking lots of filtered water, solid deep sleep, lots of motion, stretches, and exercise, keeping your negative, long standing, unresolved stress to a minimum, and being as peaceful as possible will all help you progress with your care.
Also, you will be coached on a very significant part of your home care called Somato Respiratory Integration (S.R.I.) or the 12 Stages of Healing. I’ll be discussing this with you in more detail during your initial visit. When practiced at home this part of your care is the very best way to amplify your gentle Network Chiropractic Care results.
What does a gentle Network Chiropractic entrainment feel like, and how can such a light touch make a difference within someone’s nervous system, body, and mind?
A gentle Network Chiropractic entrainment feels like a gentle contact of my finger upon an area along your spine. The contacts usually illicit a feeling of deeper breath, tingling sensation, increased heat or blood flow, or overall peacefulness throughout your body and mind.
Sometimes the things that bring about the greatest changes are those that are most gentle or subtle. For example, just a few words or a smile can turn someone’s day around. A bee buzzing around you may create lots of commotion. A gentle Network Chiropractic entrainment gently opens you…your nervous system, your core…and allows healing to take place within you. It doesn’t hurt at all. It is a very honoring process.
Gentle Network Chiropractic Care is a neural adjustment or entrainment, rather than a spinal adjustment. Under Network Chiropractic Care, when enough stress and tension is released from the spinal cord, your spine will learn to self correct. There is no force, no popping, no clicking. Because gentle Network Chiropractic Care addresses the spinal cord tension, it impacts our mental-emotional stress, as well as our physical stress. The new science tells us that our subconscious and unconscious mind extend beyond the brain, down into the spinal cord. This allows us to release the “triggers” from situations that have provoked, in the past, an emotional reaction within us. For example, old family wounds at reunions or holidays.
Life becomes much more peaceful and joyful under gentle Network Chiropractic Care.
Is gentle Network Chiropractic Care recommended for children? And if so how do they respond to care?
Yes, children love their Network Chiropractic Care. It is so gentle and relaxing. Children generally respond very quickly to their care and parents see the results of improved health and wellness early on. Most parents say that their children seem more calm, happier, and loving while under care. Others say that the children’s level of immune problems (ear infections, colds, allergies, asthma) diminish significantly. Infants who exhibit colic, digestive problems, reflux, poor sleep, difficulty nursing for example, also respond very well to care, making early parenting so much less stressful.
On a personal note, entertaining my sons and grandson has been a wonderful experience. We have not had to deal with any minor or major illnesses, ever!!!
