Deep dive into Bio-Geometric Integration® (BGI)

Beyond Traditional Chiropractic

When you think of a chiropractor, you probably picture someone "cracking" a back to fix a misaligned bone. And while that's a key part of my practice, I've found a more complete and deeper way to help people using something called Bio-Geometric Integration ® (BGI).

While traditional chiropractic focuses on relieving nerve pressure caused by spinal misalignments, BGI allows me to understand and work with the body on a much deeper level.

Think of it like this: your body isn't just a collection of bones and muscles. It's also an energetic system, like a complex musical instrument. Every experience you have, from a car accident to a stressful day at work, adds a new note to your song. From this perspective, the body's energy is like a radio signal: we can't see it, but it's there, and BGI helps me listen to and work with it.

What is Bio-Geometric Integration ®?

BGI is a gentle touch, a precise way of listening to your body. It helps me find and understand areas where old stress, injuries, or emotions are still "stuck."

Imagine a stressful moment in your life. Your body might tense up to protect itself. If that stress is too much to handle all at once, the tension doesn't just go away; it gets stored in your body, like a knot in a rope. BGI helps me find those knots and, when your body is ready, gently release them.

From a BGI perspective, those "knots" or areas of tension are more than just a tight muscle or a misaligned vertebra. They are unintegrated experiences, like an echo of a past event. The amazing part is that these knots aren't just problems to be fixed; they are actually a chance for healing. When we release that stored energy, your body gets a second chance to process the experience and let it go. This supports not only your physical alignment but also your emotional and energetic well-being.

How I work with BGI

My approach is focused on listening to your body's unique rhythm:

• Honoring your timing: I first check if your body is ready to release the stored tension. If it's not, an adjustment might not be effective. So, I work with your body's natural timing to make sure the change is lasting.

• Meeting the body where it is: Stored energy can be in your muscles, in the soft tissues that connect everything, or even in your bones. Each location requires a different, tailored touch; sometimes it's a light, gentle contact, other times it might be a more dynamic adjustment.

• Working with your body's design: Your body has a natural, beautiful geometry. By understanding this structure, I can work in harmony with your whole system to release tension more completely.

Why I love this approach

Through BGI, I can support my clients in ways that go far beyond pain relief. It’s about helping you reconnect with your innate intelligence, release what’s been held, and integrate the experiences that shape who you are. Every life experience, pleasant or challenging, carries the potential to help you grow. Bio-Geometric Integration bridges the physical body, the nervous system, and your energetic field.

For me, chiropractic isn’t just about the spine; it’s about caring for the whole person, the energy you carry, and the life you’re here to live. By releasing stored energy, BGI restores your body’s natural harmony and supports deep healing on every level, physical, emotional, and energetic.

Because this approach works with the body's natural processes, it's safe and effective for everyone, including babies, children, adults, pregnant women, seniors, and animals. It's truly a form of care for the whole family.

If this approach resonates with you and you're ready to explore your body's potential for healing, we invite you to schedule an appointment for an intake.
