✌️ From a “stuck” neck to smooth, pain-free movement.

Sasha came in with a severe neck muscle spasm that had her almost completely locked up - she couldn’t turn her head to the right and had been dealing with intense tightness for two days.

To help restore movement, we used a combination approach:

⚡️ enPuls Shockwave therapy to address tight muscle tissue, trigger points, and surrounding restrictions
🙌 Targeted chiropractic adjustments to restore proper joint motion and alignment

By first improving tissue quality and reducing muscular guarding, the adjustment can often be more effective - and easier for the body to hold.

The result? 👇

✔️ Improved range of motion
✔️ Reduced muscle spasm
✔️ Better neck mobility
✔️ Noticeable relief within the session

When the body “locks up,” it’s usually not just one structure involved, it’s a combination of joints, muscles, and nervous system protection patterns. That’s why we focus on treating the whole picture, not just the symptom.

⚡️ Months of thumb pain. One treatment. A noticeable difference.

This patient came to us with a thumb strain sprain that had been lingering for months. Everyday movements were painful, the joint felt restricted, and the discomfort wasn't going away on its own.

During this visit, we used SoftWave therapy to target the thumb, wrist, and surrounding tissues, including areas associated with the median nerve and carpal tunnel region.

The result? 👇

✅ Pain reduced from a "solid 8" to a 3–4/10
✅ Immediate improvement in mobility
✅ Thumb and wrist felt significantly looser
✅ Less discomfort with movement

One of the things we love about SoftWave therapy is its ability to help stimulate the body's natural healing response while improving circulation and addressing irritated tissues.

Every patient is different, but seeing someone walk out with less pain and better function than when they walked in never gets old. 🙌

🏃‍♀️ Eight months of pain. Countless appointments. And a growing fear that she might never get back to doing the things she loves.

After suffering an L5-S1 disc injury, Lauren did what most people would do, she sought help. Physical therapy, multiple doctors, steroid injections... yet the pain continued to limit her life and keep her from the activities she loved most.

That's when she began a personalized recovery plan with Dr. Harper here at Calispine Functional Neurology.

Using a combination of spinal decompression therapy, SoftWave treatments, and targeted care, Lauren gradually began to experience something she hadn't felt in months: progress.

Less pain.
Better movement.
More confidence.

Fast forward to today, and she's not just feeling better - she's training for a marathon. 🏅

Stories like Lauren's are a reminder that recovery isn't always a straight line, but with the right plan and the right support, incredible things can happen!

If pain has been keeping you from doing what you love, don't give up on your goals.

Most people don't come to us because they need another adjustment.

They come to us because they've tried things that didn't fully solve the problem.

They've rested.
They've stretched.
They've pushed through the pain.
They've tried other therapies.
They've been told, "That's just part of getting older."

And they're looking for answers.

That's where our approach is different.

We don't just focus on where it hurts, we look at how your entire system is functioning. From the brain and nervous system to movement patterns, mobility restrictions, old injuries, and recovery capacity, we want to understand the full picture.

That's why our care often includes a combination of:

🧠 Functional Neurology
⚡️ SoftWave & Shockwave Therapy
🙌 Chiropractic Care
🏃 Rehabilitation & Movement Training

Because when you address multiple pieces of the puzzle, you can often create changes that wouldn't happen by focusing on just one. 🧩

Our goal is to help you move better, feel better, and get back to doing the things you love.

⚡️ 99% pain-free after just one session.

This patient came in struggling with neck pain and left feeling noticeably looser, more mobile, and almost completely pain-free. 🙌

During the session, we used Shockwave therapy to help address restrictions throughout the thoracic spine and neck, improve circulation to the area, and prepare the tissues for movement.

By reducing tension and improving mobility before an adjustment, we're often able to help patients move more comfortably and get even more out of their treatment.

The result? 👇

✅ Improved mobility
✅ Less restriction
✅ Easier movement
✅ 99% pain-free by the end of the visit

Our whiplash + concussion protocols are highly specific - and what you're seeing here is just one piece of the puzzle. 🧩

This clip shows targeted adjustments to "reset" joint mechanics after a whiplash injury. But before any of this happens, we've already completed a full neurological and orthopedic assessment to confirm this approach is appropriate for that patient.

Here's something most people don't know: with severe sprain/strain injuries, we often have to focus on reducing inflammation and restoring joint stability first - before we can perform deeper adjustments or even basic PT exercises.

Every step is intentional. Every protocol is earned.

High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude (HVLA) cervical traction, or manipulation, is a manual therapy technique used to gently separate neck vertebrae. By opening the foraminal spaces where nerves exit, it relieves compression and reduces radiating arm pain caused by cervical radiculopathy. HVLA should only be performed by licensed and highly trained practitioners that have already completed a full neurological and orthopedic exam to rule out severe conditions like spinal/ligament instability and laxity like ehlers danlos syndrome or recent fractures etc.

⚡️ Pain, tingling, or discomfort traveling from your neck into your shoulder or arm?

In some cases, the problem isn't just tight muscles, it may be irritation or compression affecting the nerves as they exit the neck.

The goal of this procedure? 👇

✔️ Improve neck mobility
✔️ Reduce joint restriction
✔️ Decrease nerve irritation
✔️ Help relieve radiating symptoms into the shoulder and arm or even down into the legs from low back pain/sciatica
✔️ Restore more comfortable movement in order to be able to do your PT exercises more effectively (kind of hard to recruit muscles that are not getting good nerve supply.

Again this technique isn't appropriate for everyone. A thorough examination is always performed first to determine whether a patient is a good candidate and to rule out any conditions that may require a different approach. With that said, majority of people REALLY enjoy this natural DMT journey into the soul this adjustment can offer.

⛳ Want to unlock a smoother and more powerful golf swing? Start with your thoracic spine.

Many golfers spend hours working on their swing mechanics, but overlook one of the most important pieces of the puzzle: thoracic mobility.

Your thoracic spine (mid-back) plays a major role in rotation during the golf swing. When mobility is limited, it can affect your ability to:

🏌️‍♂️ Rotate efficiently
🏌️‍♂️ Generate power
🏌️‍♂️ Maintain consistency
🏌️‍♂️ Reduce unnecessary stress on other areas of the body

That's where this exercise comes in. 👇

This simple thoracic mobility drill is designed to help improve rotation through the mid-back, allowing for a smoother, more efficient swing.

The goal isn't just to swing harder—it's to move better.

Better mobility often leads to better mechanics, improved performance, and less wear and tear on the body over time. 🙌

Give this exercise a try and let us know how it feels!

📩 Want to know what's really holding back your golf swing? Send us a DM with the word "GOLF" and let's find out.

👃🎈 What is the Nasal Specific Technique?

This unique procedure uses a small balloon catheter that is briefly inflated within the nasal passages. The goal is to stimulate and mobilize structures within the nose and surrounding areas that can influence breathing, sinus function, cranial motion, and nervous system regulation especially as it relates to chronic neck pain, headaches and persistent concussion symptoms like brain fog, light and sound sensitivity.

While the procedure only takes a few seconds, some patients notice significant changes afterward.

In this case, this patient reported feeling 90% better following the treatment. 🙌

One of the reasons we use techniques like this is because symptoms aren't always coming from where we think they are. When normal function is restored, the body often has a greater ability to adapt, regulate, and heal.

📩 Curious about the Nasal Specific Technique or wondering if it could be part of your care plan? Send us a DM and we'd be happy to answer your questions.
