What is Advanced Care?
Brain-Based Therapy - A revolutionary breakthrough treatment program pioneered by the country’s leading chiropractic neurologist, Dr. Fredrick Carrick. The treatments are all neurologically based and clinically proven to help with chronic pain, balance disorders and other neurologic conditions.
Eyelights Therapy – Eyelights were designed to provide optimal stimulation to the brain using the optic nerve. Glasses designed with flashing lights built to fit behind the lens, they can be programmed to blink on the non-dominant eye in order to strengthen the weaker side of the brain. Since one of the most direct avenues to the brain is via the eye, a child can learn more effectively if they are seeing correctly. And an athlete will perform better because the eye is able to gather all of the information necessary to perform.
“By stimulating the weaker hemisphere of the brain you allow it to become stronger, thus improving overall performance. One method of stimulating the brain is to use light pulses. When using Eyelights you can control the intensity, frequency, and pattern of light pulses, which will result in being able to “wake up” the weaker side of the brain.”
Unilateral Adjusting: Understanding how and why to specifically adjust areas of the spine is very important to creating the best possible outcomes. Dr. Herman has completed neurologically based adjustment courses.
DRX 9000- Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: A computer guided system that gently lengthens and decompresses the spine to provide lasting relief from chronic neck and back pain due to disc problems. We were one of the first chiropractic offices to bring this type of care to Broward in 2004. Years of experience have given us a clinical edge allowing you to get the fastest relief possible.
Oxygen: Your brain and nervous system needs two things to survive – fuel and activitation. Fuel comes in the form of food and oxygen. Because our ability to use oxygen goes down with age, we check oxygen levels on all of our patients. O2 stimulates your nervous system to enhance healing and repair thus decreasing pain, promoting more restful sleep and bringing many other health benefits.
