Taking care of your family is an extremely important job!
As a Dad and Mom with four boys, we understand the value of staying healthy and realize why patients and their children need the care we provide! It has been one of our greatest joys to provide Brainstem Care to so many wonderful families! After twenty-eight years in practice, we are now seeing the children of patients we took care of when they (the parents) were kids!
Brainstem Care is a very gentle and extremely effective type of spinal treatment that helps re-align the bones of the skeleton without the use of surgery or physical manipulation. At Marshall Spinal Care we gently correct mis-alignments interfering with the brainstem. This affects things up into the head through the mid-brain and down the spinal cord affecting everything below. The Brainstem Care procedures we engineer, design, practice and implement at Marshall Spinal Care place great importance on the removal of any structural mis-alignment affecting the upper, middle and lower portions of the brainstem. As a result, the care we provide affects your entire body. It helps with postural imbalance, skeletal curvatures (i.e. scoliosis), leg-length in-equalities as well as many other physical ailments & conditions.
The primary areas of focus, regarding taking care of your Brainstem:
- Brainstem mis-alignment is determined by measurements on specific three-dimensioned x-rays of your skull and spine as well as analysis of your posture. (More details can be found on “Your First Visit” page).
- The x-rays we take help us determine the extent any mis-alignment is affecting the Brainstem area of your spine.
- Treatments are made where the skeletal structures are interfering with the function of the brainstem. The goal following treatment is decompression of the 7 trillion delicate nerves in the brainstem. This balances the entire skeletal structure (including, but not limited to the neck, mid-back, lower back, pelvis and extremities).
- For treatment, patients sit or lay on the treatment table. With each treatment, your whole body is comfortably supported.
- While being treated, patients can feel a light gentle touch.
- A period of rest following the treatments helps your body to stabilize in it’s new position.
- X-rays studies are updated at least once yearly and are recommended following any injuries that cause a change in Brainstem alignment.
Brainstem Care derives some of its inspiration in the original studies of the Dr. Palmer. These studies were performed on patients of all ages in the Research Clinic of Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa beginning in the 1920’s. Others, including (but not limited to) Drs. Sweat, Grostic & Gregory continued clinical research in the early 1960’s.
The Brainstem Care provided today builds on this initial research and has been modified by necessity through lifetime personal experiences. These experiences began at birth and continue to this day. In 1996, as an example, Drs Marshall were led to expand on the existing Chiropractic treatment protocols to assist in taking care of first, their own special needs child and secondly, the adults, children and elderly patients who were in their practice who were not responding to traditional treatment methods. To this day, they continually research the Brainstem and are seeking new treatment protocols, procedures and methods. Through clinical research and application, Brainstem Care is being utilized for not only for their own family, but for their adult patients, infants, children and the aging elderly. At Marshall Spinal Care we are now able to offer proven, gentle and effective spinal care treatments and solutions that can be utilized throughout a person’s lifetime, and, as we have witnessed first hand, Brainstem Care can be helpful to every human being on the planet!
Starting on your first visit to their office, they fully intend for their doctor-patient relationship with you to be for your lifetime. It is one based on true concern for your well being and not one based on insurance contracts or access to federal funds. Some people call Brainstem Care different. Some think it is strange. We just call it good, old-fashioned doctoring. In short, Brainstem Care is all about restoring and keeping you healthy so you can live out your destiny!
