Chiropractics can help minimize chronic pain as well as maximize performance. 

Chiropractic neurologist Dr. Mariane Nielsen is an expert in improving how the brain, spinal cord and nervous system function together to achieve better health. She understands the dynamics of this brain-body connection, and has helped individuals ranging from athletes who want to increase their performance  to individuals with  health issues ranging from migraines and vertigo, to neck, shoulder and back pain, to TMJ, and much more.  Her two areas of expertise in chiropractic include 1) Chiropractic Neurology and 2) Vector Point Cranial Therapy, both of which are explained below for their potential health benefits.  

What is Chiropractic Neurology?

Chiropractic Neurology is a highly specialized area of chiropractic which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. These health disorders involve the brain, spinal cord and nerves which make up the central nervous system—and these problems can affect the joints and muscles as well.

Dr. Marianne Nielsen is certified by the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. She is also recognized as a leading Chiropractor Neurologist serving Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Her neurological expertise, combined with her passion for the latest technologies, has led her to establish one of the Bay Area’s top chiropractic centers in Los Gatos—and her newest office in Hollister—focused on functional neurology and no-force treatments.

What is Vector Point Cranial Therapy?

Dr Marianne Nielsen is one of very few practitioners in the world that have been trained in VPCT. She learned from Dr Denton in the early 1990’s and have used  the technique on almost every patient—almost every day—since then. 

VPCT is a low force, non-invasive technique that works by releasing tension in the dural membrane that covers the brain and the spinal cord. By contacting specific points on the cranium—combined with the patient breathing forcefully and flexing their ankles—the tension around the nerves is released and the spine will align. This method has worked extremely well for her patients for over 30 years now, including patients with osteoporosis, spinal fusions, ligament instability as well as patients not comfortable with regular osseous adjustments.

 What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, also known as HBOT, promotes faster healing by providing patients with 100% oxygen in a pressurized HBOT chamber. This popular treatment is often described as relaxing and refreshing, and is quite successful in enhancing recovery times from injuries.

HBOT provides the brain and body need a healthy supply of oxygen it needs function optimally.  As a non-invasive treatment, it is good for recovering from exercise and fatigue and increasing oxygen concentration in the tissues, HBOT also excels at strengthening the immune system, as well as decreasing inflammation and swelling.

Dr. Marianne offers affordable HBOT sessions starting at $75 for a one-hour treatment. For more information, visit our HBOT page.
