Never before has our community and society in general experienced so much chronic disease and STRESS related illness. We all know what STRESS is and we wouldn't argue that we are under a lot of it in this "pressure cooker" world we live in. But, what most don't know is how STRESS effects our bodies.
Modern day STRESS, physical, chemical, emotional and electromagnetic, has catapulted us into the early stages of the worst epidemic of all time:"The Broken Brain Epidemic". In reality all forms of STRESS are "BRAIN STRESS" causing what I coined as, "Pedal to the Metal Syndrome".
More than 2 billion people worldwide are now suffering from brain based health challenges such as : PTSD, Post concussion syndrome, vertigo and balance issues, sensory processing issues, learning and behavioural issues, OCD, ADD/ADHD ,Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Autism, insomnia, Lupus, MS, acid reflux, IBS, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraines, depression, ANXIETY and many other brain based health challenges.
There is Hope
Our team at Optimize focuses on using, new, cutting edge assessment and treatment methodology involving stimulating underactive areas of the brain and offering new hope for patients with these brain based health challenges. Our team’s treatments involve different sensory stimulation (light, sound, eye exercise, smell, vibration, movement, etc.) to the nervous system that is appropriate for that patient. We do this by combining a series of different treatment modalities including chiropractic adjustments, vision therapy, light therapy, auditory stimulation, electrical nerve stimulation, balance therapies, olfactory (smell) stimulation, Interactive metronome, heart rate variability training, neuro and biofeedback, oxygen therapy, and dietary modification or supplementation.
Our team is made up of Dr Doug Fryday (www.optimizehealing.com), who has a special interest in Chiropractic Functional Neurology, Dr David Miller (www.brucecountynaturopath.com), who is a Naturopath with a special interest in optimizing the Gut-Brain connection through proper nutrition and the Growing Connections team (www.growingbrainconnections.com) of Penny Hodgkins O.T.reg(ont.)-Occupational Therapist, Bio/Neurofeedback practitioner and Mandy Kent Wilkinson B.P.E., KIN., Interactive Metronome practitioner.
Our program is based on the principles of neuroplasticity, the ability of your brain to “rewire” itself to work more efficiently. It was once thought that once you reached adulthood the brain could not change. We have learned over the past decade that this is simply not true. One of the most exciting fields of neuroscience is how the brain changes itself and what consequences, good and bad, take place.
The basic premise of our program is to support healthy plasticity (rewiring) of the nervous system through proper stimulation, oxygen and fuel. There are 3 things that the brain needs for survival: fuel, oxygen and activation. In order for any neurological rehabilitation to be effective, these three factors must be met.
Optimize is excited to offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy to maximize the oxygen component of brain rehab as well as many other benefits that it offers to the patient to maximize healing and overall health. Go to www.hyperbaricphp.com for great info on HBOT, especially under FAQ's.
If you, a loved one or someone you know suffer from any of these brain based health challenges please schedule a complimentary consultation to see if we may be able to assist you on your road to increased health and vitality.
