Tonal Chiropractic
Tonal Chiropractic is a category of chiropractic care that focuses on the tone of the nervous system and spine rather than the mechanical alignment of individual vertebrae. The tone of the nervous system — its tension, laxity, and overall state — profoundly influences every function of the body and mind.
Traditional chiropractic often focuses on the correction of subluxations — misalignments of vertebrae that interfere with nerve function. Tonal chiropractic takes a broader view, recognizing that the nervous system's overall tone and coherence is the key determinant of health and wellbeing.
Just as a guitar's tuning pegs adjust the tension of each string to produce harmonious sound, tonal chiropractic works with the tension and tone of the nervous system — bringing the body into its own natural resonance and balance.
By working with the tone of the nervous system through gentle, precise contacts along the spine, tonal chiropractic facilitates the body's own innate intelligence to reorganize and heal. This approach is particularly effective for chronic conditions, stress-related disorders, and individuals seeking to optimize their health and performance.
Dr. Flick integrates tonal chiropractic principles throughout his practice, combining them with Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration to create a comprehensive system of care known as Neurospinal Integration.
