Gardner Wellness Center

We are a cash only practice that focuses on nutritional services! Traditionally most people believe that chiropractors simply treat back pain, and neck pain without understanding how chiropractic really works. After years of scientific research we now know that the neurologically based chiropractic adjustment stimulates a complex nervous system response. Chiropractic has always been based on the nervous system. The role of traditional chiropractic was to remove the interferences with chiropractic adjustments that allowed the body to heal itself naturally and a person's pain would go away. However, that was not always the case. After 25 years of practice and research Dr. Gardner has been able to design a treatment protocol that addresses all issues that could be affecting a person's health. In order to deal with the physical/structural aspect of treatment, Dr. Gardner has moved into a brain-based model of chiropractic. The brain and the nervous system control everything we do. It controls how we think, feel, and move. The brain and the nervous system also control the functions of the immune, digestive, cardiovascular, endocrine and musculo-skeletal systems. So, whether you are experiencing symptoms of pain, digestive issues, allergies, hormone imbalances, etc. - the dysfunction or disconnect of the brain and the nervous system are often to blame. Our job is to determine the state of your nervous system. In order to determine real neurological function we must look at the body's systems under duress and then recover to normal once the stressor is removed. This is the reason we do dynamic and static testing over time and events. Dr. Gardner's philosophy incorporates all aspects of a person's health from a physical, chemical, nutritional and spiritual approach. The C.D.C. has determined that 95% of all symptoms and diseases are stress related. Science has proven that it is not necessarily the actual stressor that causes the problem. The real challenge is how we respond to our stress. Our body's inability to recover from the stress which keeps our nervous system in a heightened response pattern over a long period of time breaks the body down. It is the presence of symptoms that we know that the nervous system is out of balance. Restoring the nervous system to the normal state of balance is our intention. In addition, we are able to offer simple retraining methods to augment the power of the chiropractic adjustment.
