What We Do
At Kaplan Brain & Body, we treat a variety of neurological disorders with different diagnostic tests and treatments such as the VNG/VOG Diagnostics, CAPS, infrared laser, qEEG brain mapping, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
VNG/VOG Diagnostics
VOG (Video-oculography), also sometimes called video-ENG or VNG is a diagnostic instrument using high-tech goggles with infrared cameras to measure certain eye movements and neurological integrity to determine brain function. It is non-invasive with no radiation and tells us valuable information about why certain areas of your brain or nervous system aren’t functioning at optimal levels. MRIs and CAT scans are great for picking up tumors or strokes, but the VNG is best for telling us how the brain is functioning in real-time.
CAPS Diagnostics
CAPS is a diagnostic tool that we use to help improve balance, coordination, gait, posture, alignment, strength and range of motion. It is very good for vestibular rehabilitation and it helps to diagnose and treat patients with vestibular function, dizziness, lightheadedness and balance problems.
Infrared Laser Therapy
The infrared laser or cold laser is a therapeutic device that helps to reduce inflammation, increase oxygenation, speed up healing time, reduce pain, and improve the function of the brain, the body, the joints, the muscles, the nerves, the bones, and the organs. This laser is great for pain, skin, hair, nails, improving brain function, arthritis, headaches, peripheral neuropathy, and fibromyalgia.
qEEG Brain Mapping
qEEG brain mapping is a diagnostic test used to create a “brain map” by reading your brain waves. This test can detect if there are any areas of your brain that are not functioning at optimal levels and can also detect medical abnormalities such as thyroid dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction, low dopamine levels, heavy metal poisoning, hyperglycemia, memory problems, insomnia, fatigue, high stress, and depression. The qEEG is great for diagnosing anxiety, ADHD/ADD, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), concussions, PTSD, seizures, epilepsy, headaches/migraines, dizziness, and sleep disorders.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) helps to increase oxygen levels in your brain, body, nerves, muscles and organs. During a HBOT visit, the patient lies down in a chamber filled with 100% oxygen and as the machine increases in pressure, the oxygen gets squeezed into all the cells to increase energy, increase oxygen levels, increase brain function, speed up the healing process, and reduce symptoms of many chronic conditions such as CTE/TBI/concussions, Lyme disease, Parkinsons, stroke, heavy metal poisoning, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia, digestive problems, brain fog, neuropathy, skin problems, headaches, dizziness and many others.
Body Therapeutics
Integrative Body Balancing Treatments
We assess the source of your body’s tensions and stressed areas (root cause), to implement a personalized treatment. Body Therapeutics can assist in a more rapid recovery. Your practitioner will determine the best protocol to help ease the release of stress and strain from deep within your body. Holistic treatment uses a language your body can understand to transform and rejuvenate.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST)
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light, gentle-touch manual therapy of the cranium, neck, spine and sacrum. It allows deep-seated release of internal tensions and restrictions in your central nervous system. This allows your body to self-correct and heal from long-standing lesions of dysfunction both physically and emotionally. Most people find CST after a long journey of trying many options for managing their pain and discomfort.
Total Body Balancing (TBB)
Total Body Balancing (TBB) is a whole body treatment that focuses on reducing pain and body tension. TBB uses a gentle, rhythmic mobilization approach to relax the muscles, fascia, joints and ligaments. Circulation, nerve and energy flow are also improved with TBB. By introducing natural movement and rhythm to the body, TBB helps to calm an overly stressed nervous system.
Brain Balancing
Brain Balancing is a gentle, non-invasive yet powerful treatment that works on all aspects of the nervous system. We use specific techniques designed to release brain-centered restrictions as well as the damaging effects that these restrictions cause. The brain is an “intelligent” tissue that responds to subtle information communicated through specialized, trained touch. The brain has an enormous capacity for “plasticity” – the brain’s ability to change at any age. There’s even a simple solution for jet lag!
Fluid Articular Release
Fluid Articular Release is a gentle, non-invasive release of specific restrictions in your joints by releasing synovial fluid to all body articulations, including “fused” embryological articulations. When the body framework is out of place, numerous types of pathologies can happen from pain, dysfunction, discomfort, asymmetry/misalignment, range of motion abnormalities, tissue/tone changes, affecting the muscles, fascia, viscera, or bones themselves.
Neurosomatic Therapy (NST)
Neurosomatic Therapy (NST) is an integrative form of manual therapy that identifies and corrects structural and biomechanical patterns in the body that cause chronic pain. NST uses a combination of ‘neuro’ cranial techniques and ‘somatic’ muscular manipulation to facilitate balance and alleviate pain.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (MLD) is a medicinal, gentle, light-pressure touch therapy that stimulates the purging of the lymphatic system. This can include stagnant waste, bacteria and toxins. Increasing lymphatic drainage within the body, enhances cellular health and helps maintain a healthy immune system. This cleansing and renewing of tissue is the foundation for maintaining optimum health. MLD is also recommended for pre- and post-surgery care, especially reconstructive surgery, to reduce swelling, bruising, and scar tissue. This can dramatically reduce healing time.
Energy Healing / Reiki
Energy Healing / Reiki is the tradition of cleansing our body’s unwanted energies and replenishing them with optimal, positive energy. Technology is everywhere in our daily lives, so we use a non-technological cellular resynchronization technique for rejuvenating you, down to your DNA. Research shows that exposure to man-made frequencies, known as artificial Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMFs), can contribute to chronic diseases and account for many common symptoms that keep our bodies and brains in a confused state. Reiki is a technique that promotes healing and health by aiding the body in releasing stress and tension through deep relaxation.
Cranio-Massage
Cranio-Massage is the traditional, soothing Swedish Massage with a little twist for relaxing and de-stressing. It helps to energize circulation and lymph flow into areas neglected by our daily lives. CranioSacral Therapy techniques are utilized as determined by your stress and discomfort level. These soft gentle strokes are used with special attention to areas of discomfort for improving your immune system and rehabilitating a tired you! (90 mins.)
