I truly love OC Integrative Health, Dr. Olsen and Stephanie. They are a wonderful, knowledgeable, kind and empathetic team and I have genuinely enjoyed every visit I’ve had there. I am 25 and have Lyme disease, Hashimoto’s, toxic mold exposure and plenty of other fun things, and am about a year into my journey at OC Integrative Health. Dr. Olsen knew what tests to have me take and was able to diagnose me, figure out the root causes of my various issues, and create treatment plans to help my body dig out of where it’s been for a long time. Healing has been slow and not linear (as real healing should be, in my opinion) and I have continued taking steps toward better and more whole health thanks to the different approaches and tools Dr. Olsen uses. I have learned so much about my body and what it needs from me, improved my energy and mental health, lost some weight and look forward to continuing in my journey with this healthcare team. After seeing many types of doctors over the years, this is the first one where I know for sure I’m in the right place. I hope you find the same 🙂
Brain Based Therapy
Brain Based Therapy in Lake Forest, CA
Brain Based Therapy in Lake Forest, CA: Brain based therapy is an amazing and powerful healing technique used to restore our patients to their optimal state of health without the need for medications.
The brain controls and coordinates all function of the body. When the brain functions normally, the cerebellum sends messages to the right and left hemisphere of the brain which, in turn, send messages to the brain stem. This is referred to as the brain loop. When the brain loop is not functioning properly, the well-being, physical vitality, mental clarity and emotional stability of the patient are all negatively impacted.
Brain based therapy and how abnormal brain function occurs
Physical, chemical and emotional stress can adversely effect the brain loop. If one side of the cerebellum is not receiving enough nerve input, it fails to send sufficient nerve input to the frontal lobe. When this happens, it cannot send enough input to the lower brain-stem to keep the upper brain stem from over-firing.
When the upper brain stem (or mesencephalon) is not firing properly, symptoms such as ADD/ADHD, sciatica, fibromyalgia, insomnia and migraines occur.

How does brain based therapy work
A thorough neurological examination by Dr. Olsen will reveal which aspects of the brain are not firing properly. Since one side of the body is controlled by the opposite side of the brain, most of our therapies are given to one side of the body to stimulate the opposite hemisphere of the brain.
A safe, gentle, hands-on, dynamic integration process is used to re-boot, reconnect and restore proper brain function. Traditional chiropractic instruments and/or adjustments are also used, but they are used in a very precise manner – to stimulate function in the effected part of the brain.
In addition, visual, auditory and olfactory stimulation, heat, eye movements, eye exercises and other modalities may be used to increase brain firing.
