How do you fix Fibromyalgia by fixing the brain?
A thorough Brain-Based Therapy (BBT) Neurological Examination will reveal which aspect of your brain is not firing properly. Since once side of the body is controlled by the opposite side of the brain (example: right brain controls the left side of the body), most treatments are given on one side of the body to stimulate the opposite hemisphere of the brain. A safe, gentle, hands-on, dynamic integration process is used to re-boot, reconnect and restore proper brain function. Traditional chiropractic instruments and/or adjustments are also used, but they are used in a very precise manner…to stimulate function in the effected part of the brain. In addition, visual, auditory, and olfactory stimulation, heat, eye movements, eye exercises, and other modalities may be used to increase brain firing. Please understand that BBT is not a specific treatment for any disease, illness or disorder. Doctors using this do not try to cure anything. Doctors using this are re-wiring your brain and then getting out of the way so your body can heal. However, once the “brain loop” is restored and any brain imbalances are minimized…amazing things can happen. Being fortunate to use this technique, it has truly been a blessing to have stumbled upon it. It is my intention to let anyone and everyone know about it. To find someone located anywhere in the country, just contact me.
BBT or Brain Based Therapy is a powerful, natural and effective treatment that can help many conditions that modern medicine does not have a cure for. I’m going to guess that 99%, if not more of the people out there have never heard of this treatment. It was developed by Dr. Frederick Carrick Ph.D. of the Carrick Institute who has done brain research over the last 20 years. He has been on PBS and has even used it to wake up coma patients. These techniques have also been taught by Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist, Dr. Michael Johnson and author of the bestselling alternative health book…What do You Do When the Medications Don’t Work? to Chiropractors in the United States wanting to learn this amazing technique.
Recently, one of my colleagues, Dr. Brady Wirick, Chiropractic Neurologist was in the NEWS-view here Symptoms that are commonly treated with this new technology due to an under-firing side of the brain are: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Sleeping Disorders, Restless Leg Syndrome, Migraines and Headaches, Irritable Bowel, Light Sensitivity, Sciatica, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Chronic Pain Syndromes, Racing Heart, and Tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
NOW, Hope for Holly...
What is the Mesencephalon and How Does the Brain Function?
The mesencephalon is part of the upper brain-stem inside the brain. When it over-fires it can cause the above symptoms. Why? Normally, when all parts of the brain are firing properly this won’t happen. When we move our bodies, the nerves in the muscles, tendons, joints and ligaments called mechanoreceptors, send information up the spinal cord, into the cerebellum (the back part of the brain responsible for balance and postural muscle activity and coordination) which, sends information to the opposite brain hemisphere and into the mesencephalon to slow it down. Brain Based Therapy candidates will have an under-firing cerebellum, which causes the opposite brain hemisphere to under-fire which, leads to an over-firing mesencephalon. The mesencephalon is responsible for these symptoms. Wow!
What about the cerebellum?
A mis-firing cerebellum will cause one side of the postural muscles to be in constant spasm. This one-sided muscle spasm will cause imbalances in the spinal bones. Additionally, individual vertebrae will lock up and be restricted in their normal movement. Consequently, chronic back and neck pain, spinal degeneration, arthritis, disc herniations, and sciatica may develop. Once pathologies are ruled out,chronic dizziness and balance disorders are usually the result of cerebellar dysfunction.
What causes Brain-Based problems?
It’s very simple: either emotional, chemical or physical stress or trauma that has occurred in your past. Your brain is exactly like a computer; if you have too many applications open at once, it shuts down and stops working. These stressors are all integrated through the nervous system and if ‘too much’ for it to handle, will start to malfunction. The brain just can’t normalize on it’s own. Like post-traumatic stress disorder individuals who have had significant emotional trauma, they develop sympathetic stress responses that cannot shut off on it’s own. Many of these people have chronic pain also through the same neurological mechanism.
