The eye is the conduit for visual information that helps connect the brain to the nervous system. Vision Therapy is a neurological embedding process of retraining the eye-brain connection through lenses, prisms, filters, instruments, and patching. This therapy stimulates the parts of the brain that are not functioning to their highest potential and helps teach the brain to control the eyes to improve function and health. At Functional Medicine Center Of MN, we utilize customized treatment programs to enhance and strengthen visual skills, retrain the brain to interpret visual input, and increase accuracy and ease of processing.

The oculomotor nerve helps to adjust and coordinate eye position during movement. Vision therapy can assist our patients with learning, processing, motion sickness, and other oculomotor issues. It can also be a powerful part of rehabilitation after concussions. Brain injuries can often lead to lingering physical and emotional effects like headaches and migraines, insomnia, dizziness, motion sickness, blurred vision, balance issues, reading and comprehension problems, depression, irritability, inability to cope, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Failure to address many issues associated with brain injury and concussions can prolong recovery. 

The vision therapy methods at Functional Medicine Center Of MN have proved very successful in helping people who have suffered head injuries or other discomforts. Jerri, our Certified Vision Therapist, has worked in the Optometric field for over 40 years and has 23 years of experience in Developmental/Behavioral Optometry. Learn more about Jerri.

Supplements deliver the raw materials that put the body in healing mode. They are the energy source that your body utilizes to power your organ systems. All of the Functional Medicine Center of MN recommended supplement programs are customized based on the patients’ initial exam and ongoing care plan. Our clinic uses only the highest quality supplements that are practitioner-grade and come from pure, natural, and reputable sources.

Pressure Wave therapy uses compressed air to create kinetic energy that, when compressed against a body, is converted into sound energy. This pulse is transmitted into the tissue to encourage the body to increase healing.

Cranial Work is the manual manipulation of the skull and adjoining bones to relieve pressure, which in turn addresses many chronic conditions including, migraine relief, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort, snoring, sinus infections, and allergies.

Quantum Neuro Reset Therapy (QNRT) is designed to assist the nervous system to heal chronic pain by resetting the brain’s response to emotional triggers. QNRT is based on the principle that all functions of the body are controlled by the brain and the nervous system. This brain/body therapy identifies potential unresolved emotional stress that may negatively affect the nervous system and contributing to physical,  mental, and emotional issues than impede healing.

A neurological therapy that involves comprehensive neurological evaluation techniques, QNRT identifies and resets specific adverse emotional events or triggers that have imprinted in your brain. Adverse events can lock into your nervous system and memory and have a direct impact on you feel and how you respond to certain stimuli. 

QNRT can be very effective in helping a restrictive range of motion in joints and relieving physical pain. Many patients demonstrate immediate improvement in range of motion and pain of affected joints.

Quantum Neurology is a safe, non-invasive approach that allows the team at Functional Medicine Center of MN to evaluate every major nerve in the patients’ bodies. This collection of techniques resets and repairs nerves associated with chronic pain or injuries and encourages the body to heal itself.

Quantum Neurology utilizes a series of upper and lower body muscle strength tests designed to evaluate the entire spinal cord. When a specific weakness is identified, the doctor works to stabilize the affected areas to ease muscle weakness.

Patients often begin to feel increased strength and range of motion immediately!

Myo-Neuro Therapy is a Neuro-kinetic, sensorimotor treatment that can relieve discomfort and increase strength and movement in just one to nine sessions. The beneficial effects can often be experienced immediately. For knee pain, the complex procedures used in Myo-Neurology Therapy retrain the way the brain communicates with the muscles of the knee, eliminating the abnormal forces, thus decreasing discomfort. At Functional Medicine Center of MN, we use Myo-Neuro Therapy procedures to treat a variety of painful conditions from knee and joint pain to neurologic and metabolic conditions.

Pelotherapy (or mud therapy) is a simple, natural, and proven process that uses mud to facilitate natural healing within the body. 

When your body gets overwhelmed with toxins, the liver can’t keep up, so the toxins get deposited in those areas that have been injured or traumatized. Visually, those sites can appear healed, on a cellular level, however, they still remain weak. As a result, they become the major target for storing toxins  leading to an energetically weakened tissue. These scar and trauma areas can become so weakened energetically, they cause breaks in the natural energetic flow of the body. This causes organ and gland systems around the trauma sites to become weakened and sedated which can lead to chronic symptoms and pain.

Pelo packs, or mud packs are used as a highly effective, cleansing and detoxifying agent that draws out toxins in sites that have been energetically weakened due to scars and traumas. In addition to providing nutrients to increase the resonance of the organ/gland systems, our mud packs also draw out toxins and open up the energetic pathways. Open pathways help the body to heal itself. Clinical applications have really confirmed how powerful the mud packs are for achieving limitless healing whether you are dealing with chronic pain, acute injury, or even disease.

At Functional Medicine Center Of MN, we utilize Frequency-Specific Microcurrent (FSM) methods to assist in reducing swelling, repairing tissue, and reducing pain. FSM applies a  mild, low-level electrical current to affected parts of the body. FSM uses specific frequencies that work with electronic currents naturally occurring in the cells of your body to encourage healing of the body and the reduction of pain. 

From a high-impact workout to walking through your living room, every movement your body makes is powered by the breakdown of a chemical compound called Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Using FSM to breakdown ATP releases energy that can be used by your body’s tissues and muscles.

A key outcome of FSM treatments is the increase in the production of ATP in injured tissues. FSM can increase ATP production by as much as five times in damaged tissues which can greatly assist in the recovery process. Depending on the condition, FSM treatment can also loosen or soften muscles, helping to relieve stiffness or pain.

ARP stands for Accelerated Recovery and Performance. ARPwave Therapy treatment drastically decreases chronic pain, increases range of motion, accelerates recovery time and improves physical performance – all without drugs of any kind! This innovative therapy is different than every other type of pain treatment. All other therapies treat the physical symptoms and only provide temporary relief. ARP wave Therapy finds and treats the source of that pain, where it originated, and eliminates the physiological pain.

Unlike other methods, our high-frequency, bioelectrical system is able to diagnose and pinpoint the neurological origin of the physical pain symptoms. ARPwave Therapy treatment stimulates the soft tissues and increases blood flow to scar tissue and/or the source of the pain. It also creates new neuro patterns that re-train the nervous system, eliminate old muscle compensation patterns, and enhance the muscles ability to absorb force.
