Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care focuses on removing nerve interference to help the body begin healing itself. Your brain controls your entire body by sending messages through the nervous system. When the nervous system is injured or pinched, it loses part of the message from your brain. Other areas of your body then stop functioning at their best. This can show up as pain, limited movement or function, or a wide range of symptoms throughout your body.

By restoring the spine and joints to proper alignment, we open up the nervous system so that everything can flow smoothly again. Once the nerves are restored, the rest of the body can function optimally.

Detailed Assessments to Pinpoint Your Needs

Dr. Jerod starts with a thorough neurological evaluation to understand how your body is functioning at every point. Wherever we find spots of nerve tension or compression that keep the brain and nervous system from communicating correctly, we use adjustments to move your body back into proper positioning so the nerves can flow freely and communicate well again.

Catering Our Techniques to You

At Dawson Chiropractic we mix and match various techniques to fit the specific needs of each individual. We generally start with the MC2 neurological assessment process to read how your body responds. We then bring the body into balance by improving nerve flow and the tension of the membranes surrounding the spinal cord. We combine MC2 with Diversified manual adjustments, the Thompson Technique, the Activator Method®, and Gonstead. Dr. Jerod has studied over 30 approaches to care, like the Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) and the Logan Basic Technique, so he can change his technique as needed to fit your situation.

Dr. Jerod is highly skilled in upper cervical care and uses the Toggle Recoil Technique to bring balance into the C1 and C2 vertebrae just under the base of the skull. He performs this gentle method on a drop table, so there are no frightening pops or hard jerks. By caring for the upper neck, we help the brain stem function correctly, setting your entire body up for healing.

Helping the Body Hold Adjustments Longer

The biggest challenge you face after receiving an adjustment is called neuroplasticity. This refers to your body’s instinctive process of trying to pull the muscles and bones back to where they were before, even though that was an improper and uncomfortable position.
At Dawson Chiropractic, we perform a specific spinal neurological rehab process to break the neuroplastic response so your adjustment holds its new position longer. We combine whole-body vibration, laser, and specific maneuvers designed to teach your body to hold onto proper alignment so you heal faster and with fewer setbacks.
