Dr. Brandon Bridgeman
Dr. Bridgeman has developed an advanced healing system that integrates traditional chiropractic care, neurologic instrument adjusting, and targeted soft tissue and muscular treatment. By addressing these three key components together, patients experience faster and more dramatic results compared to treating just one area at a time. In addition to helping patients, Dr. Bridgeman is also dedicated to teaching other doctors this cutting-edge approach, furthering the impact of his innovative therapy methods.
SPORTS CHIROPRACTIC
Dr. Bridgeman has developed a comprehensive evaluation system specifically for athletes, designed to identify areas of the spinal column and extremities that are subluxated (misaligned, fixated, or not moving properly) and in need of correction. This proactive approach to treatment not only addresses existing issues but also plays a crucial role in preventing future injuries. By ensuring optimal alignment and function, athletes can perform at their peak and recover more effectively, maintaining their highest level of performance throughout their careers.
SOFT TISSUE TREATMENT
Muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and fascia are all soft tissues that can become sources of pain, tightness, and nerve entrapment. Dr. Bridgeman is renowned in the sports community for his approach to soft tissue treatment, which he refers to as “authoritative specificity.” This technique involves using the strength of his hands to precisely target and break up scar tissue, facilitating healing and restoring function in high-performance athletes.
Neurological Rehabilitation
The nervous system constantly communicates with the body, both consciously and subconsciously. Dr. Bridgeman specializes in identifying and stimulating nerve pathways that may become inhibited or overactive due to injury or imbalance. For example, when an athlete suffers an ankle sprain and compensates with crutches or limping, the uninjured side of the body is forced to work harder, leading to neurological and muscular imbalances. Dr. Bridgeman can correct these imbalances through stimulatory techniques, known as neurological upregulation, which “wakes up” the nervous system and restores balance. This is especially critical for highly specialized athletes who require precise neuromuscular function to perform at their best.
ATHLETE MOBILITY
Dr. Bridgeman has developed a comprehensive system to evaluate an athlete’s full-body mobility, providing personalized mobility prescriptions and home care programs. This approach is essential for maximizing athletic performance, ensuring that each athlete can achieve their full potential while minimizing the risk of injury.
Functional Medicine: With a keen focus on natural anti-aging and metabolic health, Dr. Bridgeman approaches each patient with an open mind, utilizing traditional bloodwork alongside advanced tests like salivary hormone panels, GI mapping, micronutrient, and allergy testing. This allows for a precise, tailored approach to health and wellness, eliminating guesswork and creating effective, individualized program recommendations.
Sports Nutrition: Dr. Bridgeman customizes nutrition and supplementation plans based on each athlete’s specific goals, body type, and test results. For instance, an athlete needing lean endurance will follow a vastly different regimen than one focused on building size and strength. Additionally, specialized supplementation and nutraceutical protocols can significantly accelerate recovery from injuries, supporting the body’s natural healing processes.
WEIGHT LOSS/MUSCLE BUILDING
Dr. Bridgeman’s approach to weight loss is not starvation or dangerous low calorie fad diets. The goal is to get healthy by providing the body with real food and nutraceuticals to promote growth, nourishment, and repair. We have to change the metabolism from a fat-storing, low energy, and injury-prone body to a fat-burning, muscle-building and vibrant human being! This is not a temporary diet program, but a lifestyle program and education that will guide you through the rest of your life. Everyone has a different story to tell and some just need a little guidance, while others may need a total body makeover.
