At Heal Thyself Institute, chiropractic care goes beyond pain relief; it’s about supporting the relationship between the brain, body, and nervous system. Using Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT®) and applied kinesiology muscle testing, Dr. Waldo provides precise, gentle care tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
Each chiropractic wellness appointment may incorporate neurological and functional assessments to better understand how your brain and body are working together. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic stress, or simply looking to support your overall health and function, every session is individualized and may include co-activation therapies, red light therapy, or vibration-based stimulation.
Dr. Waldo’s holistic approach blends hands-on chiropractic techniques with an understanding of how the body’s structural, muscular, and neurological systems work together, supporting better movement, adaptability, and whole-body wellness.
We view every adjustment as more than a mechanical correction. The spine, brain, and nervous system are constantly communicating, which is why our approach considers neurological function alongside structure and movement.
Each visit is individualized based on your needs, goals, and findings. For many patients, chiropractic wellness becomes part of an ongoing approach to supporting movement, nervous system function, and overall well-being throughout different stages of life.
SOT® focuses on the relationship between your spine, pelvis, and skull, using gentle adjustments and specialized blocking techniques to restore alignment. It’s designed to improve nervous system function without forceful twisting or "cracking."
Applied Kinesiology is a method of muscle testing that provides additional information about how the body is responding to different inputs. We use it alongside other clinical assessments to help identify patterns and guide more individualized care.
Chiropractic techniques can be adapted for different ages and stages of life, from infants and children to adults and seniors. The pressure and techniques used are individualized based on age, comfort, history, and clinical findings.
Frequency depends on your goals and needs. Some patients come for a short, targeted plan, while others choose ongoing wellness care. We’ll recommend a schedule based on your exam findings and progress.
Every story is a reminder that healing happens when the brain and body work together.
