At Vertical Chiropractic, we don’t just "patch" problems—we build a foundation for a lifetime of health. Our five-step sequence is designed to move you from pain to power. Step 1: Corrective Structural Alignment The Foundation of Structural Integrity. The journey begins with the Gonstead Technique, the gold standard in chiropractic precision. We use specific digital imaging and thermal instrumentation to identify the exact source of structural misalignment. By correcting the spine at its root, we restore your nervous system's ability to communicate, providing the structural stability necessary for everything else to follow. Step 2: Vertical Flex: Stretch & Strengthen Protecting Your Momentum. Alignment is the first step; keeping it is the second. Vertical Flex is our specialized protocol designed to reinforce your adjustments. By targeting the muscles and tissues that support your posture, we help you build "structural armor," ensuring your body stays resilient, and your old patterns don't return. Step 3: Cellular Optimization Your Brain-Body Connection Upgrade. You are getting your body fixed, now it's your cell’s turn. True health is written in your code. We utilize DNA Methylation Testing to understand how your body processes nutrients and manages stress at a cellular level. This allows us to remove chemical interference, ensuring your internal systems are running as efficiently as your structural ones. Step 4: Energy Efficiency Plug the Leaks & Power Up — From Survival to Self-Regulation. The spine is a biological interface for how your nervous system processes stress and energy. When misaligned, your body operates in an energy-wasting "survival mode"—like a home with faulty wiring leaking power. We focus on helping your nervous system reorganize and release stored stress, shifting from protection into efficiency. By pairing coherent neurological communication with bio-individual fueling, we help you reduce energy expenditure and increase usable output without the crash. You stop forcing performance and start generating it naturally. Step 5: Coaching Lock In Your Future — Designing the Life Your Nervous System Can Sustain. Once your body is no longer trapped in stress patterns, we move to integration. Led by Brandi Fano, our certified health and life coaching bridges structural principles with Lifestyle Design. We help you align mind, body, and mission so your external life reflects your internal regulation. This is about moving from reaction to intention, and from discipline-driven change to identity-level embodiment. You aren’t just "working on your health"—you are locked into the person you are becoming.
