Functional You LLC

From a Chiropractic stand point, I use gentle techniques that do not incorporate high velocity low amplitude adjusting. My technique includes using a Leander flexion-distraction table that incorporates an up and down motion starting from the waist down. This allows me to go up and down the spine using the vertebrae as levers that allow a gentle stretch in the area of focus. In addition to the Leander table, I use an Activator, which is an instrument assisted adjusting technique. This device that allows me to deliver a small impulse to an area of focus, such as with the vertebrae in the spine or a tight muscle, with the goal of restoring motion to that area. Additional services I provide as a Chiropractor: Dry needling Visceral manipulation (this is manipulation of the organs). Extremity adjusting Pediatric adjusting IASTM or Instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation/ cupping Nasal specific technique/ Sinus care From a Functional Medicine perspective, I treat by looking for the root cause of certain conditions. This includes nutrient deficiencies such as with vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, electrolytes, etc. I also look into improper methylation, mast cell dysfunction which causes high histamine, gastrointestinal dysfunction, adrenal dysfunction, autoimmune disease, dysregulation of hormones, iron overload and anemia, thyroid dysfunction, inflammation, detoxification and lastly general organ dysfunction. I treat by personalized diet plans with supplements and reviewing labs from a tightly knit Functional Medicine reference range for the labs. With each patient I always try my best to research their concerns when I am educated on the subject and even when I am not to make sure that I am providing the best possible care to that person.
