Chronic exposure to environmental toxins, yeast, parasites all lead to increased stress response in the body.  With an increased stress response in the system, it is well known that this in turn leads to chronic and acute areas of subluxation.  Chiropractic treatment revolves around treating subluxation.  A thorough evaluation of the spine, as well as the diagnostic bioanalytical testing is an imperative first step to recovery of any illness.

The first step to remember in a detoxification program is identifying the proper toxins. We cannot add supplements, without knowing what is needed first.  

We take a holistic approach to healthcare in all aspects of life at our clinic, realizing that the digestive system composes 70% of the immune system. 

As a chiropractic facility, we will be providing you with a complimentary spinal evaluation to detect how your family's nervous system  is functioning as well. 

What to expect your first visit:

1. You will be greeted by Dr. Brown's assistant.  All necessary paperwork will be given to the front desk to review.  We will provide you with an amazing tour of our facility, and bring you and your child to our discovery room.
2. Dr. Brown's nurse will then meet you and review your child's very important history.  Please remember to include all details of birth trauma and labor (for your children) on history form. 
3. We will then provide your  family with a thorough postural analysis

Dr Brown will conduct a comprehensive overview of all findings and review them with you

• He then will perform a palpation examination of the spine of your family, this exam will reveal any areas of tenderness or misalignments in the spine
• X-rays may be recommended at this time, if Dr. Brown feels it is necessary.  (Not all children in our office are recommended for x-ray, unless physical exam findings and histories deem necessary)
• According to your family's history Dr. Brown will recommend appropriate testing for analysis

All equipment needed for testing will be given to you at this time with instructions from the Doctor

Your follow up visit will be after the analysis of results have arrived at office

Second Visit : The Results

Upon returning to our office we request that parents and guardians of the children are present for the report of findings.

This report will be detailed and we find it is beneficial for all parties of interest be present at the time of the report.

• Report of all chiropractic examination findings, including; posture, palpation and x-rays if recommended
• Report analysis of all heavy metal testing, organic acid testing etc
• Referrals for proper detoxification if needed
