What are Secondary Conditions?

Secondary Conditions are often a result of Neuro-Structural Dysfunction. They are your body's "warning system" that something is amiss. (The smoke detector going off, check engine light or low battery sign is not the problem, just the warning sign). Because no two individuals are exactly the same — even identical twins have different fingerprints — no two individuals will experience identical effects from their Neuro-Structural Dysfunctions. That is why we walk our patients through a complete health exam before getting started and then  re-evaluate consistently along the way. 

The following are some examples of Secondary Conditions commonly experienced by our patients suffering from Neuro-Structural Dysfunction.

Common Secondary Conditions of Adulthood:

  • Low energy

  • Anxiety/depression

  • High stress 

  • Headaches

  • Joint stiffness

  • Neck, back, and hip pain

  • Difficulty focusing

Common Secondary Conditions of Pregnancy

  • Lower back pain 

  • Anxiety/stress

  • Round ligament pain

  • Pubic symphysis pain

These are just a few examples of Secondary Conditions that individuals experience. It’s important to note we do not treat Secondary Conditions; they are the indicators. Our specific goal is to detect and correct underlying neuro-structural dysfunction, allowing the body to return to a better state of function and regulation. 

Our patients typically see less Secondary Conditions not only initially, but for years to come.
