Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Are you struggling to find answers to your health condition? Have you had medical tests that all come back “normal” yet you feel awful? Heart Rate Variability is one of the many tools and tests we use to get to the cause of why you feel awful. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is the degree to which the heart rate speeds up or slows down. The greater the variability, the healthier one is. HRV measures:
-Stress Adaptation
-Sleep Quality
-“Healing State” vs. “Survival State” (Parasympathetic/Sympathetic)
-Psychoemotional and Meridian Imbalances
At Runnerstrum Chiropractic & Nutrition, we start your new patient exam with a HRV test (called Neural Check), and then again at re-exams to check progress.

BrainTap
BrainTap combines a variety of proven methods that restore balance to your brain for optimal performance of mind and body. The proprietary technology is designed to guide your brain through multiple brainwave states for deep relaxation, immediately boosting energy and training your brain to continually function at its peak. At Runnerstrum Chiropractic & Nutrition, BrainTap sessions are in our Relaxation and Rejuvenation Room, (or shoulder we use Brain Spa) a calm and peaceful space with recliner chairs and blankets to help you get the most out of your BrainTap session. The gentle light pulses send direct signals to the brain, guiding you into various brainwave states to heal the brain. In 20 minutes you have Rebooted your brain and your brain will feel like it had 3 hours of sleep! It is the best “sleep hack” around!

FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent)
FSM is an FDA approved physiologic electric modality that increases ATP (energy) production in the cells of the body. Similar to a TENS unit, FSM blocks the chemical pain responses by stimulating the area as it “numbs” the chemical pain signals. FSM reduces pain by decreasing inflammation, flooding your cells with ATP, which heals and helps the body repair to its natural state. Sensors will be applied to specific parts of our body and the machine frequencies will be tailored to affect what is going wrong in your body and what specific tissue we are trying to address. The machine will be programmed to run through a specific set of frequencies designed for what your body needs. The current is so low that you don’t feel it.

SRT (Sympathetic Resonance Technology)...Reprogramming your cells to be healthy!
Everything has its own natural frequency. In physics, resonance is a phenomenon where one vibrating or oscillating system causes another system of a matching frequency to vibrate with greater strength or fullness. Sympathetic resonance is a phenomenon in music when one object responds to the vibration of another object that has the same frequency. Our SRT Optimizer is a technology that was designed with three oscillators that generate energy with frequencies of a healthy cell. At Runnerstrum Chiropractic & Nutrition, the SRT lights are wrapped around a specific part of the body, and often, this will be paired with a foot bath of warm water, epsom salts and an essential oil. This gentle therapy helps your body shift into healing. Most people feel relaxed and calm after a session. It is especially helpful for people with chronic illnesses that are stuck in their healing journey.

PEMF (Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field Therapy)
PEMF generates an oscillating magnetic field to impart energy into the human body at the cellular level. With over 1,000 clinical studies and over 7,000 research articles published validating its therapeutic benefits. PEMF has been shown to improve cell regeneration time by increasing cell voltage, increasing oxygen uptake of cells, it strengthens the immune system and makes white blood cells more active, it increases metabolism, and has therapeutic benefits in lowering pain.

Laser
Our laser is a Class 3B laser, which is FDA approved. Laser therapy increases circulation in the body, reduces pain, and increases cellular activity, all leading to faster healing for you! It is one of the tools we use to rehab patients who have had a stroke, concussion, or other brain issues. When cells absorb the laser light energy it initiates a series of events that results in normalizing damaged or injured tissue.The laser has the highest power in its class—1,000mW of visible red and 1,400mW of infrared wavelengths and over 300 programmed frequencies for a variety of health issues. At Runnerstrum Chiropractic and Nutrition, the warm light of the laser will be directed at the injured part of your body for a specific amount of time.

Rezzimax…we call this our muscle melter.
Rezzimax is a handheld device that uses ultrasonic vibration to fine-tune and rehabilitate your nervous system. It’s gentle vibration calms the nervous system and puts your body in a relaxed state for healing. It has a wide variety of applications and uses. At Runnerstrum Chiropractic & Nutrition, we use the Rezzimax on patients who need their muscles relaxed, and it is also part of our TMJ syndrome protocol. Patients love the Rezzimax!

Infrared Sauna
The Far Infrared Sauna at Runnerstrum Chiropractic & Nutrition offers a range of health benefits by using infrared light to penetrate deep into your tissues. This gentle, soothing heat helps improve circulation, boost detoxification, reduce inflammation, ease muscle and joint pain, and support relaxation. It can also enhance metabolism, assist with weight management, and improve skin health by promoting cell regeneration. Regular sauna sessions are a natural way to help your body recover and rejuvenate, leaving you feeling revitalized and refreshed.

Trifecta Bed (Coming Soon!!)
The Trifecta Red Light bed is the latest in groundbreaking LED, red/near-infrared light technology combined with resonating sound frequencies. This technology is intended to stimulate the tissues of the human body at the cellular level via light and sound energy by safely penetrating the skin to energize the mitochondria of the cells. This accelerates the restoration of damaged nerves, muscles and surrounding tissues, as well as increases blood flow. This bed is a whole body photobiomodulation chamber with 4700 LEDs that will promote whole body healing! It has a relaxing effect and the ability to reduce pain. Sessions are only 12 minutes!
