NEURO-BASED CHIROPRACTIC CARE

When most people think of ‘chiropractic,’ they think of more manual adjusting, twisting, and cracking of the spine. That’s more traditional chiropractic care. It’s not bad; it’s just different from what we do!

We are neuro-based Chiropractors! And here is what makes us different:

our technique

Our adjustments are very gentle and specific. Our specially trained chiropractors use gentle and precise techniques, such as adjusting tools or small drops in the table, to perform specific corrections. Other techniques may utilize gentle pressure of our hands to perform active muscle release, tonal techniques, or cranial work.

neurology based

While we do support the structural aspects of the spine to enhance alignment, movement, and muscle activity, our primary focus is on supporting the neurology. We are primarily looking to improve how information travels to the brain, is processed, and then communicated back to your body.

brain-based care

We know that signs and symptoms, and even behaviors, are windows into a body, brain, or nervous system that needs more support! Symptoms are often the tip of the iceberg and it’s our job to be detectives to gather information and objective measures to determine the root cause!

Neurological function and the nervous system are VITAL for the health and overall function of any individual, adult or child, and are often the root cause impacting one’s ability to adapt and handle stress. 

So how do we help?

As neuro-based chiropractors, we carefully examine the spine, cranium, and pelvis to identify any areas where bones have shifted out of place, which we refer to as Neuro-Structural Shifts. These shifts affect the alignment, movement, and muscle activity of the joint. More importantly, they disrupt vital feedback and communication between the brain and the body, causing neurological compromise.


This altered feedback and communication between your body and brain can significantly impact both brain and body function, resulting in various health challenges and affecting the brain's ability to process stimuli and adapt to stress. In fact, these neuro-structural shifts are often the root cause behind many symptoms, health issues, or behavioral concerns.


By addressing and correcting these shifts, we can improve alignment, movement, and muscle activity but also restore vital neurological communication, helping your brain and nervous system function optimally.

WHAT'S A NEURO-STRUCTURAL SHIFT?

Neuro-structural shifts are physiological adaptations to an inability to adapt to stress, be it physical, chemical, or emotional. Like a circuit breaker in your house, which blows to protect your home when there's too much electricity, our bodies are designed to respond similarly!


However, when left uncorrected, neuro-structural shifts can decrease the efficiency and function of the brain and body, often becoming the root cause of signs and symptoms affecting an individual's health and well-being. At Spoelstra Family Chiropractic, we aim to address these shifts and restore your health and function through our gentle and effective care approach.


At each adjustment, our skilled doctors employ specific neurological checks and balances to identify where and what adjustments are needed to enhance overall health and function. Again, rest assured, our adjustments are extremely gentle and precise, ensuring that we honor both your spine and nervous system to promote healing.

Our practice thrives on referrals from satisfied patients, doctors, and families.


This is not only due to the remarkable results we achieve but also because of our transparent and straightforward approach to care.

How to get started in our office:

Step 1

Schedule your FREE 15-minute consultation with one of our doctors


This gives you the opportunity to talk with one of our doctors and tell us why you are seeking chiropractic care in our office. We will then explain how we can help and answer any questions you might have! This conversation helps us make sure you are in the right place. And if we are not the right place, we will help you determine or find who/what is.


We know what it's like to face the unknown, which can be scary, but in our office, we promise to make you feel heard, seen, and understood. But you have to take the first step! Call 208-667-7434 today to schedule.

Step 2

If we are the right place, and you decide to move forward with care in our office, you will schedule a comprehensive examination and follow-up consultation.


Our comprehensive examination includes a clinical assessment (posture analysis, movement assessment, neurological analysis of up to three neurological scans using advanced technology, and x-rays, if needed*). It looks for indicators to determine the evidence of neuro-structural shifting and how it is impacting your health and well-being.


Our goal is to get to the root cause of the "why" behind an individual's challenge or learn how our care can optimize one’s health, well-being, or development. 


* We do not typically take x rays on kids unless clinically warranted.

Step 3

After the comprehensive examination, we’ll review the results and discuss how we can help you in a follow up consultation with the doctor.


We have multiple options and different tools in our office to provide unique recommendations to help you have the most progress in our office and success in your health goals. In our clinical experience, if a Neuro-structural shifting is identified, most individuals require a frequency of up to three times a week over several months to restore nervous system function.


Immediately following your consultation, you're given a choice; if you choose to hire us to be on your team and help you, you will continue to step 4!

Step 4

Start care with your first neuro-structural adjustment. 


Our staff will help you get set up with your care plan, and the doctor will jump-start your healing with your first adjustment. We will schedule your appointments at your convenience and begin the healing journey with you.
