Apex Chiropractic

At Apex Chiropractic, we're dedicated to providing our clients with a unique approach to chiropractic care that goes beyond the conventional methods. Our focus is on Neurospinal Optimization, which aims to address the root cause of your health issues rather than just alleviating symptoms.

Our team, led by Dr. Aaron Esquibel and Dr. Virginia Engh, is committed to providing you with a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan that caters to your specific needs. We believe that everyone deserves to live a healthy, pain-free life, and we're here to help you achieve that goal.

Neurospinal Optimization vs. Conventional Chiropractic

Conventional chiropractors are great at providing temporary relief from pain, increasing range of motion, and reducing muscle spasms. However, this type of treatment is considered symptom relief or management, also known as "Band-Aid care." At Apex Chiropractic, we focus on Neurospinal Optimization, which aims to restore your spine to its normal structure.

Neurospinal Optimization is not for everyone. If you're looking for a long-term solution rather than temporary symptom relief, our office may be for you. Our extensive Neurospinal examination procedures will help us understand if we can help you, how long it may take, and what we can do to improve your overall health. The results we achieve in our office are not only something you can feel but also see through our reexamination procedures. Once your structure is back to normal, we strive to give you the tools to maintain your progress so your secondary conditions do not return.

What is Neurospinal Dysfunction?

When it comes to structure, no one is absolutely perfect. However, like all other aspects of our health, there is a normal range. If I were to ask you what a normal blood pressure is, you might say 120/80. Most people don't know exactly what that means, but they understand that value is "normal." There are many other "normal" values in healthcare. For example, blood sugar, body mass, and heart rate all have healthy ranges. That being said, there will always be variations based on one's age or health situation.

At Apex Chiropractic, we are looking for a multi-dimensional shift of the spine away from normal. If the spine is shifted in one area, another area will compensate and therefore cause the entire spine to move out of proper alignment. These shifts can cause muscles to spasm, ligaments to deform, and most importantly, they can influence the nervous system. In short, the communication system from your brain to the rest of the body can be interfered with.

The primary focus of Apex Chiropractic is to locate and correct Neurospinal Dysfunction through thorough structural evaluation and specific corrective adjustments.

What are Secondary Conditions?

Secondary Conditions, or what most people call "symptoms, " are your body's warning system. They are indicators of a more serious underlying condition. Some of the Secondary Conditions that arise from a Neuro-Spinal Dysfunction include:

• Neck & Back Pain
• Sciatica & Hip Pain
• Numbness & Tingling
• Muscular Spasm & Tension
• Headaches (Including Migraine)
• Pinched Nerve (N.I.S.)
• Herniated Disc
• Canal Stenosis
• Rotator Cuff & Shoulder Pain
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Degenerative Joint Disease
• Decreased Range of Motion
• Poor Posture
• Muscular Imbalance
• Dizziness/Vertigo
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

What to Expect During an Exam

After completing your consultation with the doctor, you will be invited to proceed with our Neurospinal examination. The examination may also be scheduled for a later time if you so choose. As always, the decision is yours, and there will never be any gimmicks or high-pressure sales pitches.

The Neurospinal examination is comprehensive, which means you should safely plan on allotting no less than 45 minutes of your time. This is a thorough, time-intensive examination process completed by a doctor, not a quick assessment by an assistant. Dr. Aaron or Dr. Virginia will complete each aspect of the examination to determine the nature of your Neuro-Spinal Dysfunction.

The exam will include:

• Complete Autonomic Activity Assessment
• Nerve Scan
• Structural Radiographs
• 3D Structural Analysis
• Orthopedic/Neurological testing as needed

The Structural examination is not only designed to detect Neuro-Spinal Dysfunction but also allows for a better understanding of "normal" and a complete understanding of the underlying cause of your condition. After your examination, you will be scheduled for a conference where we will explain our findings, how we can help you, and how things work if you decide to become a patient at Apex Chiropractic.
