Fundamental Chiropractic



Chiropractic is a physical means to help the body help itself. Flow state in the body has an adaptability of motion and being. Pain hinders that flow state and unhappy tissues, muscles, or spinal segments result. Nerves travel from the brain through the spine. Areas of pain can tell a story. We want your physical structure to be lined up and in its center. Balance is improved, pain is quickly reduced and the path toward optimal well being becomes clearer.



Therapeutic Compression Bands with Movement



Personalized care means supporting you where you need it most. Often it is not where the actual symptom is occurring! Tension is the reason why folks seek symptom reduction initially. Over compression anywhere along the facia chains cause tension at the site of injury. There is an old adage in Chiropractic, if you are only working at the site of symptom, you are lost. We want you in the center, with balanced tone throughout the kinetic chain.




Careful Neurologic and Nutritional Integration



Neurological and Nutritional Integration involves the brain and they body working in harmony. This work finds and feeds certain pathways that may be altered due to prolonged stress. Different stresses may require different solutions. We identify the altered circuit and feed it the necessary components to meet and surpass the demands of life. Having full coffers and balanced hormones feels good!

Information you can use today



The salary or 'sal' of our body





Salt was the payment for roman soldiers as currency – today we have the word ‘salary’ from its root. Colloid minerals of sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) define salt in the chemical term – however I prefer if it is contaminated with loads of trace minerals as well! Sodium is necessary for your cellular power as a separation of charges and electro potential held outside of your cells- it balances with potassium (that will be another blog post). Chloride is an essential mineral for making stomach acid - HCL. HCL is necessary to break down all proteins ingested while in your stomach! Salt tastes good for a reason and is especially important for those on a vegetarian diet. Have as much as you want.

Water Plus





Quick and easy checks for hydration status is if your tired all the time and have dark colored urine – best to drink more water! If you drink lots of fizzy malty pints and caffeine to an excess – best to add more water instead. Electrolytes can be added to your life by adding a teaspoon of sea salt into your drinking water. Over time a bit of salt in the water is a gentle liver cleanse as well. I often use a bit of salt water in the mid afternoon if I am feeling a bit tired. A perk in energy is noted. Electrolytes are an easy and effective addition to your hydration status. About 2/3 of our nutritional needs are mineral based. Sea salt contains a fair amount of them. Sip your water throughout the day – at LEAST one liter per day. Add citrus for a vitamin C boost as well!

Essential Fatty Acids





Omega 3’s are the most difficult to obtain in the human diet today in comparison with omega 6 and omega 9. Omega 3’s are the precursors for the endocannabinoid system. Cannabinoids are known for “feeling good” beyond “feeling high”. Instead of smoking a medicinal plant we can eat omega 3 fatty acids and build our own endocannabinoids and ‘feel good’ aspects will flow from the inside out. Let’s fuel your system by providing the building blocks. Omega 3 fatty acids is also functional on the same pathway as NSAID pain relievers – influencing the arachidonic acid pathway cascade toward inflammation reduction. Check for sardines in your grocery basket! Great meal on the go. Fermented cod liver oil may be the best to date I’ve found.

Rest, Digest, and Heal





Your body has two nerve systems. Each has awesome purpose and we are discussing them in terms of a car gas pedal and a break pedal. The ‘fight or flight’ system is the gas – we use it daily as we get up and go. Pupils dilate and blood flow increases to our peripheral muscles. The ‘rest and digest’ system means pupils constrict and blood flows to our digestive glands for nutrient uptake and secretions of toxicity clearance. Ideal function involves employing both systems to work as needed in a state of balance. Sometimes we get caught up with “burning the candle from both ends” and it’s a difficult thing for our bodies homeostatic balance. Being stuck in allostasis (being out of balance) is caused by prolonged stress. A simple way to help would be rest early and rest often. Screen time right before bed isn’t really going to help you get to sleep any faster. Maybe a large boring book to keep by your night stand would do the trick without activating our blue light ‘wake cycle’ of our pineal gland right before bed.

Meet The Doctor





Upon entering the office, you will be asked a fair amount of questions about your health history. As a reciprocity of information I figured I would tell you all about myself and journey to be here serving the greater Shoreline area.


Throughout my youth I played soccer as a lifestyle- 4-5 days a week and before long I was crippled with horrible bilateral knee pain. I visited my favorite Chiropractor, Dr. Paul Mack! Turns out apples do not fall too far from the tree and my feet were flat (just like his) and stuck in rear foot pronation. Disrupted foot bio-mechanics altered my knee weight bearing and I learned an important song. “The ankle bone is connected to the shin bone which is connected to the thigh bone which is connected to the hip bone..” Dr. Mack got me started wearing orthotics to support the 26 bones in each foot. I have not taken them out of my shoes since! An absolute priority for supporting my movement and allowing my weight bearing to stay true to bio-mechanical intention.


I have had type one diabetes since I was two years old. Blood sugar stress affects structural and chemical equilibrium. Whole food philosophy and getting adjusted continue to be paramount in my life to achieve an ideal balance. Diabetes blood sugar stress and playing soccer like a wild man in my teen years affected my flight or fight response and its ability to adapt. Low blood pressure resulted and in the morning upon rising I would sometimes experience gran mal seizures. Dr. Mack understood that my adrenal glands were tired. With type one diabetes as a complicating factor, my body did not have enough cortisol to pump blood to my brain if I quickly went from lying down to standing due to low blood pressure. Upon taking a Standard Process whole food supplement to feed my adrenal glands I never had a seizure related to orthostatic hypotension again. Super bonus!


There are lots of ways to help the body wherever an individual is at in their state of health. Facilitating chiropractic and how it positively interfaces with each person in a unique way is why I am here. I got into all of this while searching to sustain my own health. Now I get to enable the best in my community by helping them reach their health goals. It is an honor to serve what IS for each patient. We want you to feel comfortable, energized, and excited about taking strides away from pain and faulty bio-mechanics and towards a lifestyle you can enjoy!


Sincerely, Dr. Greg
