Chiropractor Colorado Springs

Headaches can have many different causes. If headache and migraine sufferers have ruled out hormonal imbalances, blood pressure issues, dehydration, and high-altitude oxygen deprivation, then a Foundational Shift may be present.

A Foundational Shift may place abnormal pressure on the nerves that control sensations in the head and neck. In addition, a Foundational shift may disrupt efficient blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid pressure within the skull. Correcting the Foundational Shift by visiting the right chiropractor Colorado Springs may allow the blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow to return to normal, reducing the secondary conditions of headaches and migraines. 

Balance Chiropractic has helped many people suffering with dysautonomia in Colorado Springs. Dysautonomia is a miscommunication between the autonomic nerve system and the brain. Patients often experience fainting, headaches, tachycardia, high and low blood pressure, stomach troubles and possibly breathing issues. The autonomic system includes the Vagus nerve, an important nerve that travels directly from the brain stem to the vital organs in your chest and stomach.

A Foundational Shift may exert pressure on the Vagus nerve, interfering with its function and contributing to dysautonomia. Some patients seeking dysautonomia relief in the Colorado Springs area may be frustrated if their doctor only relies on medication. Balance Chiropractic, your upper cervical chiropractor Colorado Springs aims to precisely tune the brain-body connection, reduce Vagus nerve interference, and help people living with dysautonomia and POTS.

Many patients with fibromyalgia have chosen Balance Chiropractic as their fibromyalgia chiropractor Colorado Springs. Often, there is a high correlation between the onset of fibromyalgia and concussions or whiplash injuries. Patients with fibromyalgia report feeling tired, tender, depressed, and fragile. If there is a Foundational Shift in the spine, it can disrupt the brain-body connection.

This disruption can cause inappropriate communication between the brain and the body. This communication can take the form of muscle sensitivity and pain, which can rob patients of the energy to do the things they want to do. For patients seeking relief from fibromyalgia, our upper cervical chiropractor Colorado Springs understand the frustrations of living with fibromyalgia and have a passion for helping people get back to living the life they deserve.

By reestablishing a proper brain-body connection and balancing muscle activity, our doctors have helped many people receive results of wellbeing that they haven’t experienced in years. 

Many patients undergo extensive testing of their visual, proprioceptive, and inner ear functions after experiencing prolonged bouts of dizziness, balance, and vertigo. When patients with dizziness, balance, or vertigo problems don’t find relief from traditional chiropractor Colorado Springs methods, there may be a Foundational Shift present.

A Foundational Shift can irritate the “vestibular nuclei”, a collection of nerves in your brain stem that travel from the inner ear and receive information from your upper neck. A Foundational Shift can also alter the signals coming from the upper neck, creating distortion in the signals to your brain about your balance and body position. Balance Chiropractic refers and co-manages patients seeking balance, dizziness, and vertigo doctors to ensure that patients are receiving well-rounded and multi-faceted care in Colorado Springs. 

If your arms, fingers, legs, toes or face goes numb… you just might have a Foundational Shift in your spine. Often times, numbness and tingling (secondary conditions) are an indicator of poor blood and neurological flow to an area.

Usually, the Foundation of one’s body will be originally shifted due to an injury long forgotten (car accident, sporting accident, slip and fall etc.), if not corrected, the Foundational Shift will generally become worse over time. It is no different than hitting a series of pot holes that misalign the wheels of your vehicle, if left uncorrected would you expect more or less vehicle problems over time? 

Fortunately many have found great relief from numbness and tingling by correcting their Foundational Shift with Balance Chiropractic (Chiropractor Colorado Springs)

Balance Chiropractor Colorado Springs has helped many people looking for help from a Trigeminal Neuralgia. Trigeminal Neuralgia is known as the “suicide disease” because it is supposedly one of the worst pains ever. Patients usually present with burning, stabbing, or electric pain in their face, jaw, teeth, and/or ears. On top of this, sufferers of trigeminal neuralgia may also have headaches and dizziness/vertigo. Trigeminal Neuralgia may occur due to head and neck trauma from a car accident, sporting accident, or dental injury.

The reason TN hurts so bad is because of the electrical branches of the TN nerve being irritated. For those with physical trauma relating to the neck, TN is often related to pressure being placed on an area of the spinal cord called the Trigeminal Nucleus which has fibers that loop from the brain to the neck then to the jaw/face and vice versa. Often times patients seek out a trigeminal neuralgia doctor in Colorado springs only to be disappointed when the common recommendation is drugs and surgery.

As your upper cervical chiropractor Colorado Springs, Balance Chiropractic precisely tunes the brain body connection without ever popping twisting or cracking to help people living with Trigeminal Neuralgia get back to living the life they deserve.

Massages are fantastic, and if possible, we’d get one every day! However, when muscles are always tight for little or seemingly no reason, a Foundational Shift of utmost neck bones may be an underlying cause.

When we look at the physiology of muscle function, there are only two actions: contraction and relaxation. A massage works by relaxing muscles using an OUTSIDE-IN approach… Massage Therapists or Traditional Chiropractor Colorado Springs will stimulate tight muscles so eventually they relax. For short term relief this is great, however, for individuals with chronically tight muscles, we must consider an INSIDE-OUT approach.

Q: All muscles are controlled by what? A: Nerves! Q: All nerves come from where? A: The spinal cord! Q: The signals that nerves use to control muscle function, come from where? A: THE BRAIN! This upper cervical chiropractor Colorado Springs focuses on the spinal bones closest to your brain because, if those top spinal bones have shifted, abnormal signals may be sent to your muscles that never seem to relax!

As an Upper Cervical Chiropractor Colorado Springs, Balance Chiropractic has helped many people with TMJD. TMJD is also known as Tempormandibular Joint Dysfunction and is where the jaw experiences pain, popping or other discomforts. People looking for a TMJD doctor in Colorado Springs often find our office due to a referral from their dental professional.

When the foundation of the human body shifts it can put pressure on an area called the trigeminal nucleus. This nucleus controls all musculature of the jaw and if misfunctioning due to pressure, may send faulty signals to the musculature of the jaw creating pain. The common TMJD doctor in Colorado Springs will prescribe things like oral appliances or medication.

As an Upper Cervical Chiropractor Colorado Springs, Balance Chiropractic helps patients with TMJD by precisely tuning the spinal area around the trigeminal nucleus without ever popping twisting or cracking. If you or a loved one are looking for a TMJ doctor in Colorado Springs, we offer complimentary consultations to see if we can help!

Research shows that over 80% of people will experience significant back pain in their life time. For most, it is a short term incidence relieved by normal means, but for others it can last much longer and require a different approach.

As a upper cervical chiropractor Colorado springs, our doctors  generally do not accept patients for acute bouts of back pain. We focus on helping people that have usually exhausted many or all the usual back pain treatments. When medication, traditional chiropractic, physical therapy, injections and surgery have failed, the root cause of back pain may be a shift in your body’s foundation.

Most often children and adolescents experience Tourette’s and ticking syndromes. According to most of the research most people will grow out of this disorder, however the consequences of growing up with uncontrollable body movements and noises can be detrimental to anyone’s confidence. 

Simply put, when the brain can’t properly communicate with the body, a common manifestation may be the outbursts and tics associated Tourette’s. Instead of offering medication or therapy, our office has a unique approach to optimizing communication by gently plugging the brain back into the body 

Our chiropractor Colorado Springs have been fortunate to help many children and adolescents dealing with Tourette’s have less tics, less outbursts and therefore live a more normal life.
