Who We Serve
Brain & Nervous System Care for Every Stage of Life — and Every Level of Challenge
Who We Serve
The nervous system does not have an age limit, and neither does our care. At Meraki, we work with patients across every stage of life — from newborns to seniors — and across every level of health challenge, from general wellness and prevention to complex, long-standing neurological conditions that other providers have been unable to resolve.
Our approach is the same regardless of who you are: we start with the brain, identify where the nervous system is struggling, and apply targeted, evidence-informed care to restore function from the inside out. Whether you are a parent searching for answers for your child, an adult managing a chronic condition, or someone who has simply been told there is nothing more that can be done — you are never without hope.
LIFE STAGES
Babies & Toddlers
A baby’s first few years are a time of extraordinary neurological development. The brain is growing faster than it ever will again, and the nervous system is laying down the foundational wiring that will govern every aspect of your child’s health and development for the rest of their life.
The birth process — even in uncomplicated deliveries — places significant stress on the infant’s spine and nervous system. Tension, torsion, and subtle misalignments can interfere with the brain’s ability to properly regulate the body during this critical window. Early chiropractic assessment allows us to identify and gently correct these imbalances before they compound into larger developmental challenges.
When your baby’s brain and nervous system are communicating clearly and functioning in balance, you are likely to see:
- On-time or early milestone achievements
- Fewer ear infections and less colic
- More restful sleep and improved digestion
- Better latching and nursing
- Smoother sensory and motor development
- Stronger immunity and greater adaptability to stress
A well-regulated nervous system from the very beginning means a more resilient, connected child — from tummy time to toddlerhood and beyond.
Children
As your child grows, their brain is working constantly to integrate sensory information, regulate emotions, coordinate movement, and support learning. A healthy, well-connected nervous system is the foundation for all of it.
When the brain is dysregulated — whether from birth stress, falls, illness, inflammation, or sensory overload — children may struggle in ways that seem unrelated but all trace back to the nervous system. Behavioral challenges, frequent illness, difficulty focusing, poor sleep, and developmental delays are often signs that the brain is not getting the input it needs to function at its best.
At Meraki, we use a neurodevelopmental approach to evaluate how your child’s nervous system is functioning and where support is needed. Our care helps the brain make the right connections at the right time — so your child can meet life’s challenges with greater ease and confidence.
Children with a well-functioning brain and nervous system often experience:
- Reduction in behavioral issues and meltdowns
- Fewer sick days and stronger immune response
- Relief from allergies and asthma
- Improved focus, attention, and learning
- Elevated mood and emotional regulation
- Better posture, coordination, and body awareness
- Deeper, more restorative sleep
Teens & Pre-Teens
The teen years represent one of the most significant periods of neurological restructuring in a person’s life. The brain is actively pruning old neural pathways and building new ones — a process that requires a well-regulated, well-nourished nervous system to unfold properly.
Add to that the physical demands of growth, the hormonal shifts of puberty, the academic and social pressures of adolescence, and the near-constant stimulation of modern technology, and it becomes clear why so many teens struggle with anxiety, mood instability, poor sleep, chronic pain, and difficulty concentrating.
Chiropractic and functional neurology offer a powerful, drug-free way to support the teen brain through this critical transition — improving how the brain and body communicate, reducing overwhelm, and building the resilience they need to thrive.
Teens with a well-regulated and balanced brain and nervous system often experience:
- Reduced anxiety and emotional overwhelm
- More stable moods and improved stress resilience
- Decreased PMS symptoms and smoother hormonal transitions
- Sharper focus and concentration
- Improved posture and spinal alignment
- Better sleep quality and energy levels
- Faster recovery from sports injuries and fewer repeat injuries
A regulated nervous system builds stronger minds, more resilient bodies, and healthier futures.
Adults
Life is full of physical, emotional, and environmental stressors. The way our bodies respond to and manage these stresses plays a crucial role in overall health. In fact, the inability to properly regulate stress is linked to over 90% of all chronic diseases and illnesses.
At Meraki Chiropractic & Functional Neurology, we focus on optimizing your brain and nervous system function to help your body better handle stress, heal more efficiently, and perform at its highest level.
Adults with balanced and healthy nervous systems often experience:
- Improved concentration, memory, and cognitive function
- Better, deeper, and more restorative sleep
- Fewer illnesses and stronger immune resilience
- Elevated and stabilized moods
- Balanced hormones that support energy, metabolism, and emotional health
- Enhanced cardiovascular health and blood sugar regulation
- Improved digestive function and gut-brain communication
- Faster recovery from injuries and reduced risk of chronic pain
- Better posture, coordination, and physical performance
- Greater ability to manage and adapt to stress in daily life
A well-regulated nervous system is the foundation for lifelong vitality, resilience, and well-being—empowering you to live fully and thrive in every area of your life.
Pre, Peri, Postnatal
No matter where you are in your reproductive journey — whether you are trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or recovering postpartum — your nervous system plays a central role in supporting your body’s natural processes. The brain regulates hormone balance, stress responses, uterine function, and the physical adaptations required for a healthy pregnancy and recovery.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe, gentle, and profoundly effective. Dr. Dani is a certified Webster Technique practitioner — a method specifically designed to restore balance to the pelvis and sacrum, reduce tension in the surrounding ligaments, and optimize the neurological environment for both mother and baby.
Women who receive regular chiropractic and nervous system care throughout pregnancy often experience:
- Easier conception and more balanced hormones
- More comfortable pregnancies with less pain and tension
- Better fetal positioning for an easier birth
- Shorter labors and fewer interventions
- Reduced nausea and morning sickness
- Faster postpartum recovery
- Improved sleep, digestion, and mood
- Reduced complications with lactation and breastfeeding
A well-regulated nervous system supports your body’s ability to create, nurture, and heal
Men’s Fertility
Reproductive health is not solely a women’s issue. Men’s fertility is equally dependent on a well-functioning nervous system and hormonal environment. The brain regulates testosterone production, stress hormone balance, and the physiological conditions that support healthy sperm production and motility.
At Meraki, we help men optimize their nervous system function to support fertility outcomes and overall vitality — because both partners deserve to feel their best on this journey.
Men with a balanced nervous system often experience:
- Optimized hormone levels critical for reproductive health
- Improved sperm motility and healthy sperm counts
- Better sleep quality and recovery
- Elevated mood and reduced stress
- Enhanced energy, focus, and overall wellness
A healthy nervous system supports men’s fertility by creating the foundation for optimal hormonal function and physical resilience—helping you be at your best when it matters most.
COMPLEX & NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
If you have been living with a complex neurological condition, you know how exhausting and isolating the search for answers can be. You may have seen multiple specialists, tried multiple treatments, and still feel like no one truly understands what you are going through — or has a real plan to help.
This is exactly the kind of patient we are built for.
Dr. Dani’s training in functional neurology gives her the tools to assess brain function at a level that goes far beyond a standard chiropractic or medical evaluation. We look at how different regions of the brain are communicating, where function is diminished, and what specific inputs the nervous system needs to begin rebuilding. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach — it is a precise, individualized assessment of your unique neurological landscape.
We work with patients who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told that nothing more can be done. We also work with patients who have received a diagnosis but are looking for a complementary, non-pharmaceutical approach to support their recovery and quality of life.
Conditions we commonly work with include:
ADHD & Attention Disorders
Severe or treatment-resistant ADHD is often a sign of an imbalanced brain — one where certain regions are under-firing while others are overactive. Functional neurology allows us to identify these imbalances and apply targeted inputs to help regulate attention, impulse control, and executive function. We see children and adults, including those who have not responded well to medication or who are looking for a drug-free alternative.
Autism Spectrum Disorder & Sensory Processing Disorders
Children and adults on the autism spectrum often have nervous systems that are either hypersensitive or hyposensitive to sensory input — a sign of dysregulation in how the brain processes information. Our approach focuses on calming the nervous system, improving sensory integration, and building the neural pathways that support communication, emotional regulation, and social connection.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) & Post-Concussion Syndrome
The brain has a remarkable capacity to heal — but it needs the right environment and the right inputs to do so. Many patients with TBI or post-concussion syndrome continue to struggle with symptoms long after the initial injury because the nervous system never fully recovered its balance. We use functional neurology to identify which brain regions were affected and design a rehabilitation protocol to support recovery.
Dysautonomia & POTS
Dysautonomia — including Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) — is a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, the part of the brain that regulates heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, temperature, and dozens of other automatic functions. These conditions respond well to a nervous system-focused approach that prioritizes regulation and autonomic balance.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition, but that does not mean the nervous system cannot be supported and strengthened. Functional neurology offers tools to stimulate the cerebellum, basal ganglia, and other affected regions, helping to improve coordination, balance, gait, and quality of life.
Seizure Disorders
Seizures are a sign of significant neurological dysregulation. Functional neurology can play an important supportive role in improving overall brain stability, reducing the neurological burden on the system, and supporting the brain’s capacity for self-regulation.
Tourette Syndrome
Tourette syndrome is a neurological condition characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics. At its root, it is a disorder of neurological dysregulation — involving imbalances between brain regions responsible for motor control, impulse inhibition, and sensory processing. Functional neurology allows us to assess these imbalances and apply targeted inputs to help calm the nervous system, improve inhibitory control, and reduce the frequency and intensity of tics. We work with both children and adults, including those who have not found adequate relief through conventional approaches.
Stroke Recovery
Recovery from stroke is a process of neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to rewire itself and recruit new pathways to compensate for damaged areas. Functional neurology is uniquely positioned to support this process through targeted stimulation, movement-based rehabilitation, and nervous system regulation.
Multiple Sclerosis
MS involves damage to the myelin sheath that protects nerve fibers, disrupting communication throughout the nervous system. Our approach focuses on supporting the brain and spinal cord, reducing neurological inflammation, and helping patients maintain and improve their quality of life.
Chronic Lyme & Tick-Borne Illness
Chronic Lyme disease and related tick-borne illnesses frequently affect the nervous system, producing a wide range of neurological symptoms including brain fog, neuropathy, dysautonomia, and cognitive dysfunction. We work with these patients to support nervous system function and resilience as part of a broader healing protocol.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Neuropathy — nerve damage that causes pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness — often has a neurological component that goes beyond the peripheral nerves themselves. We assess the entire neurological picture and work to improve nerve communication and reduce the brain’s amplification of pain signals.
Undiagnosed & Complex Neurological Symptoms
Some of the patients we help most are those who do not yet have a diagnosis — people who know something is wrong but have been told their tests are normal, or who have been passed from specialist to specialist without answers. If you are experiencing symptoms that do not fit neatly into a diagnostic box, we want to hear your story. A thorough functional neurological evaluation often reveals patterns that standard testing misses.
