Could you share your motivation for becoming a chiropractor and starting the Rossi Chiropractic Center?
Originally what motivated me to become a chiropractor was the gift I wanted to be able to give to my future children by being a doctor/chiropractor. I grew up with a father who was a chiropractor, along with many uncles, cousins, and even a great aunt. It was the greatest gift in my life. Anytime I had a health concern, didn’t feel well, got injured, or had any health/body questions, I could get immediate care and attention. I wanted to offer this to my children as well. As I went through Chiropractic school and learned more about how the body functions as a whole, the body-mind-spirit connection as well as the science, art and philosophy of the chiropractic adjustment, my vision grew to helping other families in my community to also benefit from the great impact that Chiropractic offers by reconnecting the physical body with the spiritual and emotional beings that we are.
What sets your approach to chiropractic care apart from others, and how do you ensure a personalized experience for each patient?
Everything about what we do at Rossi Chiropractic is highly personalized. We know our people, because we listen to them. Getting chiropractic care is great, regardless of who but we at RCC hold an intention every time to stay focused and deliberate. Specifically, be conscious of how the person in front of me is unique. They have a unique history, interests and problems from everyone else. That focus naturally brings out good care. It might sound over simple but any work that’s repetitive brings the slippery slope of being automatic, not fully conscious of your work.
The other aspect that sets us apart is our understanding of the dynamic beings that we are and how our emotions, nutrition, and lifestyle can affect our body’s health and wellbeing. We not only address the physical aspect, but bring awareness to the original underlying cause of the problem, whether physical, emotional or mental, and have amazing practitioners in our practice to support the release of these energies/blocks/patterns if the person needs extra support as well.
Could you explain the importance of the initial examination process in identifying the underlying issues and developing a customized treatment plan?
Figuring out exactly how, where and how often someone needs chiropractic adjustments to resolve physical problems is part of what’s done. It’s important and often straightforward. What’s equally important but much lesser known, is connecting with people on a personal level. People are too often ignored or not really heard. We feel meaningfully validated just by being heard, I want to make sure people have that experience. With it, it’s easier to track peoples improvement too.
What types of problems or conditions do you commonly address through chiropractic adjustments, and how do these adjustments help alleviate symptoms or promote healing?
The most typical problems people come in with are aches and pains. Concentrated in the back and neck, but can be all over. Almost as often people come in for either neurological or organ problems. Headaches, anxiety, poor sleep, poor concentration, digestive problems, heart problems, breathing problems, fertility problems.
Why people come for these problems and how chiropractic helps is the same answer, it’s just how humans are built. The brain is connected to the body by all the nerves, the majority of which thread through the spine, your back and neck. The nerves are like the power lines and internet connection all in one, proving power and data between the brain and body. The spine holds us up, lets us move but it’s also protecting the spinal cord nerves. But because the spine is made of moveable pieces, they can move wrong or be stuck out of position. This can disrupt the power and data through the nerves. That disruption in turn can cause any of the above problems, plus any number of other things.
Can you elaborate on the different styles of adjustments you offer and how you determine the most suitable approach for each patient’s needs?
There’s over 200 different chiropractic techniques to analyze and adjust the spine. I use anywhere from 5 to 20 different techniques a day. The choices I make on how I adjust someone will include how soft or firm this person needs the adjustment, what they’re comfortable with, how many or how few adjustments that person needs today to make a positive effect, even what sort of leverage or approach works best with this person.
We also do a lot of teaching, showing people how to manage their posture, movement and thinking to help their improvement.
How does the Body Code/Emotion Code System work in identifying and addressing the underlying causes of mental, emotional, and physical health challenges, and how do you integrate this into your practice?
The Emotion Code, as well as the Body Code System, as taught by Dr. Bradley Nelson, (hereinafter called “these methods”), and as practiced by Dr. Brigitte Rossi, CBCP, seeks to identify and eliminate underlying imbalances by releasing energetic imbalances in the areas of energy, circuitry, pathogens, structure, toxicity, and nutrition. These methods of energy healing promote harmony and balance within, relieving stress and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal. Energy healing such as these methods is widely recognized as a valuable and effective complement to conventional health and medical care. If we observe that someone is stuck in particular patterns of imbalance, needs extra lifestyle support, or went through emotional traumas that we suspect are hindering their ability to improve or heal, we will recommend a body code session. It’s part of the healing process to integrate healing our emotional and mental beings, alongside the physical to gain more momentum, growth, and change.
