What makes our Doctors unique?

What sets our doctors apart is their unique blend of advanced training—Dr. Greenspan in Applied Kinesiology and Dr. Paat in Functional Neurology. Working together, they combine expertise in structural, chemical, and neurological health to create individualized care plans that help patients achieve lasting results.

Optimizing overall function relies on maintaining balanced proprioceptive input and enhancing symmetrical activation of the cerebellum and cortical hemispheres. Disturbances in brain activity, often characterized by a decrease in function, can contribute to a wide array of patient complaints. Therefore, recognizing a patient's issues as originating from brain-related factors can significantly alter their care trajectory for the better.

When the body and brain exhibit asymmetrical activity, it can trigger compensatory patterns of joint dysfunction as the brain tries to adapt proprioceptive feedback to minimize the asymmetry, leading to musculoskeletal imbalance. Failing to address these patterns appropriately can exacerbate the wind-up of symptoms in the body.

When we have dysfunctional joints, categorized as fixations and subluxations, the amount of proprioceptive feedback reaching the brain may be diminished. Specific chiropractic adjustments have the potential to enhance proprioceptive feedback, thereby producing positive effects on brain and body function.

Examination and treatment applications that target the anatomical site of CNS dysfunction or neuromuscular imbalance may help to ensure a tailored chiropractic approach addressing each patient's unique needs to achieve optimal outcomes. With an emphasis on patient education, our doctors help to empower individuals to take an active role in their own health by providing exercise, posture, and lifestyle modifications to sustain their progress long-term.
