“A truly transformative experience for my 5 year old! After two years of seeking support and solutions for my son’s behavioural challenges and sleep struggles, we landed in Alyssa’s office. We saw Alyssa for 8 sessions over 4 weeks and the changes have been incredible. Sleep has been improved significantly, his ability to slow down and rest is better, his emotional regulation has drastically improved, and the meltdowns and defiance are much less frequent. But the most important change for me - he actually seeks out hugs and snuggles now! Thank you Alyssa for your kind and calm presence and for helping me get my little guy back” - Lana O.

Neurologically Focused Chiropractic
The INSiGHT Nervous System Scan
At Running Wild Chiropractic, care is built around your nervous system, not your symptoms
Meet Your Family Chiropractor, Dr. Alyssa
At one point in my life I faced recurring injuries. I was dealing with hormonal imbalances, I was diagnosed with low bone density, and I had chronic underlying digestive problems.
My nervous system was stressed, and my body was telling me that it needed help. I tried many different avenues of care that treated my symptoms, but nothing was truly healing.
I wanted my body to be strong and resilient.
I wanted my period to return naturally.
I wanted to heal naturally and return to optimal health.
I wanted to be able to have children one day.
I wanted to be active and healthy again, for the rest of my life.
That’s when I discovered the power of chiropractic care, and started a true healing process from the inside, out.
My own experience with nervous system focused care led me to chiropractic school. From here, I pursued specialized certifications in pediatric, perinatal & family chiropractic care (including newborns and complex neurological cases). I have witnessed chiropractic healthcare transform lives at every stage: pregnancy, through childhood, and into adult life.
My mission is to empower families like yours to reach your fullest potential by optimizing nervous system function at every stage of life.
I can’t wait to meet you, and I'm so ready to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
“Dr. Alyssa's knowledge, hands-on skills, and gentle bedside manner always have me feeling more grounded and at home in my body. I highly recommend Dr. Alyssa at Running Wild Chiropractic to anyone looking for holistic care for themselves and/or their children.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions about the wholistic chiropractic experience, answered.
-
Most healthcare approaches focus on managing symptoms. Nervous system focused chiropractic is different. Using advanced nervous system scans to see exactly where stress and tension are stored in your body, we will address the root cause of your health challenges to create lasting change from the inside, out.
-
This is the most in-depth appointment we’ll have together. We’ll dive into your history and figure out where your stressors started. Then, using Nervous System Scans, we’ll see exactly where your nervous system is holding stress and tension. This appointment will take about 50 minutes. On your next visit we’ll review your scans and the findings, and put together a personalized care plan to help you reach your health goals.
-
Chiropractic care for infants focuses on supporting your baby’s developing nervous system, which controls every function in their body. Birth can create stress on a baby's spine and nervous system. This stress can show up as challenges with latching and breastfeeding, trouble sleeping, digestive issues, lots of crying, and developmental concerns. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are incredibly gentle. In fact, many babies relax and some even fall asleep during the appointment. Chiropractic care for infants will release areas of tension in their nervous system, allowing your baby's body to function optimally and support their natural development.

The earlier, the better! This can be within the first few days to weeks after birth for their first gentle adjustment. The birth process can be physically stressful on a baby's delicate nervous system. Early intervention allows us to address any nervous system stress, giving your baby the best foundation for healthy development, feeding, sleep, and reaching their fullest potential.

The INSiGHT Scanner will look at three things: the first will measure heart rate variability, which tells you how well the nervous system adapts to stress. The second test is a thermal scan, this measures temperature patterns along the spine to identify regional stress points in the nervous system. The third test is a surface EMG, which tells you how balanced and coordinated your neuro-motor system is. The INSight nervous system scans give you an in-depth picture inside the balance of your nervous system.
