Lyme Disease Support
Neurological Support for Those Battling Lyme and Co-Infections
Lyme disease and its co-infections can wreak havoc on the nervous system, causing a wide array of symptoms that affect every aspect of life. At BodyMind Chiropractic, we offer supportive care that focuses on optimizing nervous system function -- helping your body heal alongside your Lyme-literate medical treatment.
Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) and common co-infections like Bartonella, Babesia, and Ehrlichia have a particular affinity for the nervous system, causing neuroborreliosis, widespread inflammation, autonomic dysfunction, pain syndromes, and cognitive issues. Our gentle, neurologically-focused approach supports your nervous system through every phase of your Lyme journey.
Board-certified chiropractor with 25+ years of experience specializing in neurologically-focused, low-force care for families of all ages.
Important
Lyme disease requires proper medical diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractic care is supportive therapy that works alongside your medical team -- it does not replace antibiotic or antimicrobial treatment.
Common Lyme Symptoms We See
Brain Fog
Cognitive difficulties including poor concentration, memory problems, and mental cloudiness from neurological involvement.
Fatigue
Profound exhaustion that does not improve with rest, driven by infection and nervous system dysfunction.
Joint & Muscle Pain
Migratory joint pain and widespread muscle aches, often shifting in location and intensity.
Heart & Autonomic Symptoms
Heart palpitations, blood pressure irregularities, and POTS-like symptoms from autonomic dysfunction.
Headaches & Dizziness
Chronic headaches, migraines, and vertigo related to neurological inflammation and cervical involvement.
Nerve Pain & Neuropathy
Burning, tingling, and shooting pain from direct nerve involvement by Lyme spirochetes.
Sleep Issues
Disrupted sleep patterns driven by pain, nervous system dysfunction, and autonomic imbalance.
Temperature Dysregulation
Episodes of chills, sweats, and inability to properly regulate body temperature.
How Chiropractic Supports Lyme Recovery
Nervous System Optimization
By removing interference to the nervous system, we help your body better coordinate its healing response and adapt to the demands of fighting persistent infection.
Autonomic Balance
Many Lyme patients develop dysautonomia. Our gentle, neurologically-focused approach supports better autonomic nervous system function, helping with POTS-like symptoms, blood pressure, and heart rate irregularities.
Drug-Free Pain Management
Gentle adjustments address musculoskeletal pain without adding to your medication burden. This is especially important for Lyme patients already managing complex treatment protocols.
Immune System Support
A well-functioning nervous system supports optimal immune function -- critical when your body is fighting persistent infection. Better nerve communication means a more effective immune response.
Our Gentle Approach for Lyme Patients
Dr. John understands that Lyme patients are often highly sensitive and need an exceptionally gentle approach.
Individualized Assessment
We begin with a thorough understanding of where you are in your Lyme journey -- active treatment, die-off reactions, recovery, or maintenance. Our comprehensive neurological evaluation provides objective nervous system data to guide our approach.
Ultra-Gentle Adjustments
Using Talsky Tonal Chiropractic and KST techniques, we adapt our approach to your specific health situation, always gentle and always precise. We provide corrections that do not overwhelm sensitive systems. There is no cracking, twisting, or forceful manipulation. We adjust our intensity based on how you are feeling each visit and work around your treatment cycles.
Long-Term Recovery Support
Lyme disease is often a long road. We support you through active treatment phases, Herxheimer reactions, recovery and rebuilding, co-infection treatment, and post-Lyme syndrome management. We communicate with your Lyme-literate doctor and respect their treatment plan.
