Healing is an inside job

Chiropractic is a philosophy, science and art rooted in all things natural. It is centered around the body’s Innate Intelligence and ability to heal from within.

As vitalistic chiropractors, we acknowledge that there is a Life Force that animates all living things. In our bodies, this life force is called Innate intelligence and it operates through the Central Nervous System. This innate intelligence moves from the brain through the spinal cord and communicates with the entirety of the body through the nerves. 

Dr. Madison Smith gently adjusts a client through vitalistic chiropractic care.

Your central nervous system is the communication center for everything that is happening within your body; regulating all functions, processing stressors, and shaping how you perceive the world around you. It is constantly taking in information and storing impressions from our life experiences so that we can continue to evolve and expand. 

When life presents us with an experience (physical, mental, emotional, chemical, spiritual) that is too much for our system to process in a moment of time, it will be stored in the body until there is enough safety perceived to move through it. In Chiropractic, we call this stored stress a subluxation (sub=less, luxation=light/energy). The spinal cord then creates protective strain patterns to adapt to that subluxation, which alters structure and function, ultimately leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected or in a state of symptom expression. Our nervous system remembers everything.

Healing is an inside job

Dr. Madison Smith, founder & chiropractor at Intuitive Heart, demonstrates an adjustment on a client.

The Chiropractic adjustment is a neurostructural and tonal process that brings attention to these strain patterns that are holding you in a lower functioning state. We use a variety of approaches to address the stored tension within the system and provide honoring adjusting forces to encourage the unwinding and dissipation of the distortion patterns. This process shifts the tone of the nervous system and restores communication between the brain and body, allowing you to move toward a greater sense of ease, safety and coherence. Shifting you away from who you are not, so that you can become all that you are.

When we change the tone of our nervous system, we change the tone of our life. It’s all within you.

This care is an intuitive, whole being approach to health, supporting the nervous system and the expression of vitality. It is supportive for all beings in all stages of life. 

Our people often find us when they want to experience care that feels different. 

Many come in feeling aches and pains, chronically stressed, disconnected, or in a general state of dis-ease. Others come in seeking nervous system regulation, better physical function and mobility, or a greater awareness of their body. They continue to come back because they feel more resilient to the stress of life, more energy and freedom in their body, more connected to themselves and the world around them, and more embodied in their truth. They stay because they experienced what it’s like to feel more alive, more vital.

In short? Everyone.

Who this is for

Chiropractic radically influences the way we live.

our approach

Reminding you of all that is right within you.

Chiropractic care follows the vitalistic model, which views the body as a unified, intelligent organism that is always working towards a state of health, and where healing means to become whole–mind, body, spirit. An above-down, inside-out approach.

Traditional Western healthcare is often based on a mechanistic model, viewing the body as a machine that needs to be fixed. This model focuses on chasing and suppressing symptoms, diagnosing and prescribing, and addressing what appears to be ‘wrong’. An outside-in approach.

The role of the Chiropractor is not to fix you because you are not broken, but rather to support the body in creating the environment to reconnect and remember what it already knows how to do.

The care at Intuitive Heart is individualized, and we meet each person where they are at in their process. Each adjustment addresses the needs that are present in the moment, utilizing a range of forces including light tonal touch, table drop work, and honoring osseous input. This process brings attention to what you may not see so that you can shift into more awareness.

Each session is cumulative, working towards a greater integrity within the neurostructural system and a stillness of the mind. The goal is for you to experience yourself in a more free state.

what’s possible

The goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to awaken this consciousness through motion; to bring attention in the form of movement, breath and sound to the areas of unadapted, accumulated stress and provide input (energy and information) into the neuroskeleton so that it may unwind and come back to its natural state of safety.

When we feel safe and perceive safety in our inside and outside worlds, our level of trust with our inside and outside worlds increases. This sense of safety shifts your perception and expands your capacity to live a life that feels different—more vibrant, more connected, more free.

what’s possible

Dr. Madison Smith, chiropractor at Intuitive Heart, places her hands on either side of a clients head while giving an adjustment.

We chiropractors hold this trust for life and for our human bodies because we know that the intelligence that resides within is perfect in existence and always working for us. 

There is this beautiful relationship between the neurostructural approach of Chiropractic and consciousness. The more freely this innate intelligence can operate, the more communication between the brain and the organ systems, and thus the more consciousness embodied.

In order for consciousness to fulfill itself in this living, breathing system we call our human body, the system must be in a state of safety.
