Our Specific Chiropractic Philosophy
Understanding the A.D.I.O. principle and how proper spinal function affects your entire body.
SPECIFIC CHIROPRACTIC = A.D.I.O.
At ReGen Spine and Joint, we follow the fundamental principle that your nervous system controls every function in your body. The A.D.I.O. concept illustrates how your brain communicates with your entire body through your spine and nervous system.
A - Above
Your brain is the command center that controls all bodily functions. It sends and receives millions of messages every second through your nervous system.
D - Down
Your spinal cord is the main pathway for nerve signals traveling from your brain to the rest of your body. Spinal misalignments can interfere with this critical communication.
I - Inside
Your nerves branch out from your spinal cord, carrying messages to and from every part of your body. These nerves control everything from movement to organ function.
O - Out
These nerve signals go out to every organ, cell, and tissue in your body. Proper nerve flow ensures optimal function and health throughout your entire system.
"90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is generated by the movement of the spine."
Houston Control
The Brainstem
The most complex and vital area of the entire nervous system
What is Specific Brain Stem Chiropractic?
A Specific Chiropractor focuses on correcting the cause of your health concerns—rather than simply masking symptoms.
At the center of this approach is the brainstem, often referred to as the body's "Houston Control." As a highly specialized extension of the spinal cord, the brainstem is the most complex and vital area of the entire nervous system. It regulates and coordinates virtually every function in the body.
Even slight irritation in this region can lead to sickness and dysfunction, while more severe trauma can result in immediate and total system failure. No other part of the nervous system holds such critical influence over your health.
Why the Brainstem is Critical
Automatic Functions
Controls breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and other vital functions that keep you alive
Neural Coordination
Coordinates communication between the brain and the rest of the body
Sensory Processing
Processes and relays sensory information from throughout the body
Our Brainstem-Centered Approach
Dr. Federico is certified as a Brainstem Specialist by Kale Chiropractic Hospital, a designation earned by only a select number of upper cervical practitioners. This specialized training focuses on the precise correction of upper cervical misalignments that can interfere with brainstem function.
By addressing these critical areas with scientific precision, we can often achieve remarkable improvements in overall health and function—addressing not just symptoms, but the underlying neurological dysfunction that may be causing them.
Why This Matters For Your Health
When your spine is properly aligned, nerve signals can flow freely between your brain and body. This optimal communication allows your body to function at its best and heal itself naturally.
Spinal misalignments (subluxations) can interfere with this communication, potentially leading to pain, dysfunction, and decreased health. Our Specific Chiropractic adjustments aim to correct these misalignments, restoring proper nerve flow and allowing your body to heal and function optimally.
Combined with our advanced Stemwave therapy, we address both the structural and cellular aspects of healing, providing a comprehensive approach to your health and wellness.
