This really made my evening when I saw a post from Dr. Jeanne Ohm, D.C., president of the IPCA. It is a fantastic interview and explanation on why it is recommended that children be checked by a chiropractor, and the benefits that can follow. In the last few weeks we have been seeing even more children as well as entire Seattle families, and it… Continued…

Chiropractor advises against the use of splenda.My focus in life continues to be on my family and being a chiropractor, but I certainly have been on a nutrition kick lately, haven’t I? A few of our patients at Queen Anne Chiropractic are actually providing some feedback on our blog, and one of the issues recently brought up has been people avoiding Aspartame in favor of another horrible chemical sweetener, Splenda. … Continued…

Who Wants Their Health Back?

March 9th, 2010 by Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor | No Comments

Natural health through chiropracticOne of the most common difficulties being a chiropractor is attempting to explain that the whole of the body is greater than the sum of its parts. Our bodies have been compartmentalized into specialties among medical professionals, and this can often create blinders for the doctor and the patient.

One of my most common instances of this is when a person enters my office with… Continued…

Neuroplasticity: Can Chiropractic Help the Brain Change Itself?

January 27th, 2010 by Dr. Graeme Gibson D.C. Seattle Chiropractor | 4 Comments

As my wife finishes her master’s degree in early childhood education, I like to imagine a place where parents in Seattle have access to such a program for their struggling student. I realize there are programs, but most are focused on accepting a disability and not attempting to rewire their pliable brains so it goes away. Permanently.

When I saw this I wondered if the same stimulation could be used via the other senses of touch while using less used cortical stimulus via the cranial nerves. Could smell or aromatherapy used via the olfactory nerve? Could a chiropractic adjustment be used to effect a certain spinal tract and relay the impulse to a weak area of the brain?

Some of these questions are rhetorical as I already know the answer, but it is a shame that only small niche groups of Chiropractors strictly focus on the brain as it relates to neuroplasticity. Yes, many of us are creating this positive response via the adjustment, but there could not be a better time to educate our patients on the subject. Now could be the time to ask the public to send it patients who have struggled with brain injuries, learning difficulties and strokes.
