I was a skeptic.

When I walked into that doctor’s office for the first time in the late 90’s and saw a non-athlete was going to supposedly help me with my nagging injuries and athletic performance, I didn’t know what to think.

But less than an hour later I knew I had not only found answers, but my future career path.

And she put me on a path I would have never dreamed for myself. You see, I was going to college for Exercise Science. I loved every aspect of human performance and training. Weight training, plyometrics, sprints, etc.

Ever since I was a young kid I would buy books and study new ways to train in order to run faster, jump higher, and move quicker.

But what I was exposed to in that doctor’s office my sophomore year of college was astonishing. I was excited about what I was learning, but I was also a little mad!

I realized I could have been so much more as an athlete.

My body was riddled with imbalances and malfunction. It’s as if I was driving with the brakes on. And oddly enough, it was NOTHING exercise and training could fix.

This was a whole different level.

This was how the electrical [nervous] system of my body was operating/malfunctioning. I was being exposed to techniques and concepts that not many people understand.

We all know that an athletes career depends on a body with top physical function. I learned from that first encounter there was so much more to the puzzle.

Today more than ever we need to give our kids the best chance they can get. There is so much pressure to perform, and to play their sport all year.

And kids are breaking down with more injuries faster than ever before.

We are at a crossroads and we need to do better.

Have you noticed that, since your last injury (or the one before), or for no good reason at all, it seems that your performance has slipped, or you have nagging pain or injuries that just won’t go away?

There is a good reason why this may happen.

For over a hundred years, it has been known that following stress, illness, and injury, some muscles will permanently weaken [inhibit]; they stop contributing to most of our movements they way they were designed to. While others become rigid [hypertonic] and don’t turn off when they should.

This condition is called “NeuroCentric Muscle Dysfunction”.

These muscles are no longer under your conscious control, so you therefore cannot use exercise to correct them.

NeuroCentric Muscle Dysfunction has been shown to be a cause of problems like shoulder pain, ankle instability, overuse syndromes, jumper’s knee, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, or pain and injury in the neck, back, or any other joint or muscle in the body.

There are lots of therapies that try to treat these problems, but the big issue is this: as long as the problem is on a nerve system level, no amount of therapy will solve the problem.

Think you’ve had every treatment available? Think again…

I’m Dr. Brant Larsen, creator of NeuroCentric Chiropractic. I have taken many nerve system, cranial, body chemistry, and scar tissue rehabilitation expertise courses and I have put together a unique system to tackle tough cases.

Many people come to me as a last resort because they have been everywhere and done everything with little or no results. They are skeptical, as they should be, to their still unanswered questions.

But what I do is different….

My approach is to look for NeuroCentric Muscle Dysfunction

This is a very unique approach which looks for obstruction with how the brain communicates with the body, and how the body communicates back to the brain.

It’s the Primary Condition I treat in my office and what my examination and treatment procedures center around.

If the body sensors are giving incorrect signals back to the brain, pain, weakness and a whole host of Secondary Conditions are the result.

Here are some of the secondary conditions that are significantly reduced or eliminated by correcting NeuroCentric Muscle Dysfunction:

What causes these body sensors to give incorrect signals and cause NeuroCentric Muscle Dysfunction?

Whenever any kind of illness or injury is put into the nervous system, the reaction is to withdraw from the insult that caused the injury to begin with. It’s the natural protective mechanism of the body.

Think of how your entire body reacts when you step on a pebble or bite on something hard. Everything from the tips of your toes to the top of your head is affected. It’s called the Withdrawal Reflex.

Chronic problems occur when the memory of the injury stays in the brain. The body then stays in the withdrawal/contracted position, often for decades.

The connective tissues of the body, such as ligaments, tendons, cartilage, meninges [protective covering around brain and spinal cord], etc. become damaged creating scar tissue. 

This scar tissue constricts the nerves, organs, joints, and tissues of the body creating pain, weakness, and tense muscles sapping your ability to sleep and heal, and perform at your best.

Take a look at the Results we get.

You will see people from all walks of life, along with many athletes and people with chronic injuries and pain.
