Our Approach
Every person moves differently — and that’s where healing begins. Our approach looks beyond pain and symptoms to uncover how your brain and body communicate. By combining chiropractic adjustments with movement-based rehabilitation and neurological principles, we help retrain coordination, balance, and posture from the ground up.
Whether you’re recovering from a concussion, managing an injury, or simply want to move and feel better, our goal is to restore the systems that keep you strong, stable, and confident in how you move. Each plan is tailored to your needs, guided by careful assessment and grounded in the latest movement science.
At Back2Brain, we don’t just treat pain — we help your body relearn balance.
