Brain-Based Therapy (BBT)

A revolutionary breakthrough treatment program pioneered by the country’s leading chiropractic neurologist, Dr. Fredrick Carrick. The treatments are all neurologically based and clinically proven to help with chronic pain, balance disorders and other neurologic conditions. All chronic illness has its roots in brain imbalance. BBT is a specific, neurological system of therapies that targets the deficient areas of brain function. There are other brain therapies, but nothing as specific as BBT for neurological rehabilitation.

Eyelights Therapy

Eyelights were designed to provide optimal stimulation to the brain using the optic nerve. Glasses designed with flashing lights built to fit behind the lens, they can be programmed to blink on the non-dominant eye in order to strengthen the weaker side of the brain. Since one of the most direct avenues to the brain is via the eye, a child can learn more effectively if they are seeing correctly. And an athlete will perform better because the eye is able to gather all of the information necessary to perform.

“By stimulating the weaker hemisphere of the brain you allow it to become stronger, thus improving overall performance. One method of stimulating the brain is to use light pulses. When using Eyelights you can control the intensity, frequency, and pattern of light pulses, which will result in being able to “wake up” the weaker side of the brain.”

Unilateral Adjusting

Not all Chiropractors are equal. Not all adjustments are equal. Understanding how and why to specifically adjust areas of the spine is very important to creating the best possible outcomes. Dr. Erickson’s treatments are not designed to simply “pop” the back or neck, but to create a specific neurological stimulus that helps to balance deficient brain function. If you have been to other chiropractors – this is very different.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment for bulging or herniated discs of the low back and neck. This computer aided treatment gently stretches or decompresses the spine to alleviate pain. Extremely effective with back pain, disc problems, sciatica, neck pain, etc.  Spinal decompression is not for everyone.

Health Balance and Stress Testing

Through computer programming, we can evaluate how your body is handling/or not handling/ stress. We specifically look at how the nervous system is working as it responds to stress factors such as: lifestyle, sleep, diet, pain, activity level, relationships, etc.

Metronome Therapy

A brain-based rehabilitation training program.  Of great therapeutic benefit to all chronic health patients. Particularly helps patients with ADD/HD, Learning Disorders, MS, Parkinson’s, Stroke Rehab.  Reprograms and balances the brain.

ReBuilders Technology

The ReBuilder is a proven, electronic, peripheral neuropathy treatment. It is medication-free pain relief. It consists of a small, hand held, stimulator that sends a comfortable kick-start signal to your feet and legs that can get your nerves functioning again. The ReBuilder analyzes the waveform of your nerves, determines any abnormalities, creates the unique healing signal necessary, administers it, and then re- evaluates the result. This process happens 7.83 times every second.

The ReBuilder can also treat the painful symptoms of arthritis, MS, edema (swollen feet), burning pain, shooting pains, cold feet, balance problems, tingling, numbness and sensations of walking on broken glass and/or wallking on cardboard, sponges or rolled up socks.

Body Shapes Weight Loss Program

Utilizing a method developed by Dr. Eric Berg, we are able to assess the body shape and identify underlying factors that make stubborn weight stubborn. Each body type has specific needs – once those needs are met the body can trigger the hormones that burn fat to do their job.

Computerized Functional Blood Chemistry Evaluation

Analyzing blood chemistry is an art. It is not as simple as simply looking at the laboratory ranges and identifying what is too high or too low. Laboratory ranges are extremely broad and are not standardized. Computerized Blood Chemistry allows us to analyze your results from an optimum perspective. Optimum ranges are much narrower than the laboratory ranges and allow us to identify problems before they become diseases. Computerized evaluation also gives us the ability to look for patterns between blood markers to identify relationships instead of chasing down every single elevated or depressed reading. Do you want to reach your optimum potential? Computerized Functional Blood Chemistry Evaluation can help you get there.

Nutritional Counseling

Part of the bigger picture to restoring your health is how you eat. We have specialized training to provide you with sound direction when it comes to eating well and supplementation.

EWOT

EWOT stands for Exercise with Oxygen Therapy. There are only two sources of fuel for your brain – one of them is oxygen. Your brain is the most oxygen dependent tissue in the body. Just a few seconds without oxygen and you will faint. By enhancing your oxygen supply for short periods of time – coupled with exercise – we greatly boost the efficiency and rebuilding of normal brain nerve impulses. Oxygen therapy can help in faster healing times and in brain development and rehabilitation. A better brain = a better you!
