What is Chiropractic...

...and what to expect with your care at

Circadian Chiropractic & Sport?

“While other professions are concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, Chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit the environment.”

What is Chiropractic? → Focus on the nervous system & spine to promote health

Chiropractic’s core belief is of the body’s innate ability to heal & survive, and that everyone lives their life with clearer and fuller expression of our body’s innate intelligence when our spine and nervous system is free of interference ⚡️

Throughout your Chiropractic care, our job is to detect nervous system interference at the level of the spine - which we find as misalignments and/or abnormal motion of segments of the spine causing nerve interference, called “subluxations”. Our job together is to help you reduce and correct these subluxations, primarily through:

Delivering Chiropractic adjustments in our clinic, either manually, with the drop table, and/or with adjusting instruments or tools… “Getting Checked & Adjusted"
Living a supportive lifestyle outside of the clinic… “Hold Adjustments & Live Clear”

Our Chiropractic Assessment Process

Our Chiropractic and Nervous System scans are performed to find out your nervous system and spine function, and how that impacts your overall health. Our assessment consists of several key indicators that help us determine how to provide the best care possible:

1) Resting Standing Posture (both with eyes open and eyes closed to account for compensations of the visual system)

2) Active Spinal Ranges of Motion

3) Spinal Thermography & EMG scans, & Heart Rate Variability (HRV) with CLA Insight (to indicate nervous system stress)

4) Age-Appropriate Neurological Development & Milestones

5) Grip Strength

6) Prone Thompson Technique Chiropractic Analysis

All of these can give us a functional look at the state of your nervous system and spine, and - most importantly - where to start to make the biggest impact with your health.

Chiropractic Techniques

Chiropractic has many "techniques", and at our office we provide full-spine care using a Thompson Technique analysis.

Our Chiropractor is proficient in:

• Manual/Diversified

• Thompson/Drop Table
• Toggle Recoil (Upper Cervical)

• Torque Release Technique (instrument-assisted).

In addition manual adjusting, we adjust some individuals (and most pediatrics) with lower-force adjusting tools or The Arthrostim.

Deeper sleep & changes in energy levels/moods, especially following first several adjustments (sometimes observed with changes in HRV or other recovery measures)
