Colorado Springs Chiropractic Neurologist
Dr. Michael Pierce
"When I was a child the doctors could not figure out my symptoms."
They told my parents any attempt to help me naturally would be superstitious. My parents fixed me in three weeks with an elimination diet. My grades shot up, sports were better, and my symptoms disappeared. Our local chiropractor, Amy Barge, was a caring doctor of small stature with surprising skill at adjusting large patients as well as delicate infants.
The Appeal of Chiropractic
For me, chiropractic was a natural evolution of an independent, resourceful American philosophy of natural order and of understanding the laws of physiology. The profession was committed to mastering non-drug and non-surgical healing methods, and yet trained to diagnose and recognize its limits. That commitment appealed to me. The University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point gave me a spectacular liberal arts and scientific education as an undergraduate, especially chemistry, music, and philosophy.
A Chiropractic Education
My first chiropractors steered me to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa - the Fountainhead of the discipline. They were steeped in the traditions and science of that institution and helped me through the grueling education. Later I studied animal chiropractic and earned a certification, and then studied the functional neurology of Dr. Carrick, the pioneer in the field. I studied for years and earned the rare specialty in chiropractic neurology and treated much more complicated patients. There is a deep satisfaction for me in the sleuthing and resolution of difficult chronic cases.
Our Commitment
Our commitment has been to increase the capacity of human expression for all our patients without robbing them of some other aspect in the process. We meticulously monitor the brain and body for signs which direct our treatment and make small course changes like an attentive pilot. We do this with chiropractic adjustments, nutrition and supplements, precise brain stimulation, home exercises, blood, saliva, urine and hormone tests, and home exercises, as well as appropriate referrals to other practitioners in our network of respected colleagues.
After all, what do you want to get healthy for?
I like to snowboard, kayak, climb and bike. I also want to read complicated neurology texts and philosophy, as well as fiction. Musical performance and calming martial arts are important to me. My own brain is stronger now than it was in college due to the methods I listed above. I take my own medicine, and it has done me well.
If you know someone who is willing to do their homework, does not rely on insurance company policies, wants to find answers and real solutions to their health problems, and seeks doctors who strive to stay current please, send them our way!
