Living a life predicated on true health requires consistency and thoroughness. Alignment isn’t just for our spines: it impacts every aspect of our well-being, not only from a physical standpoint, but a neurological one as well.
Dr. Bethany Provencial discovered the inherent benefits of chiropractic care at age 14. After suffering with an unknown illness for several months (and an exploratory surgery already scheduled), she visited a multi-hypenate chiropractor whose work brought about her full recovery. This life-changing experience led Dr. Bethany to pursue a life dedicated to healthcare.
Today Dr. Bethany's chiropractic and functional medicine practice, Evolutionary Wellness, addresses the interconnectedness of nervous system regulation and overall health. Her specified training includes Quantum Neuro-Reset Therapy (QNRT) and Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET). These modalities enhance her ability to awaken the “triad of health” for her patients, which directly addresses structural health (on a skeletal level), chemical health (with avenues for detox), and emotional well-being (promoting nervous system regulation).
QNRT utilizes a cranial nerve exam by tracking eye movements to assess brain lobe imbalances. With a pin light, touch sensation exercises, sounds, and colors, different parts of the brain are activated to reveal which side of the brain isn’t communicating well. It has greatly served her patients suffering from PTSD, ADD/ADHD, personality disorders, autism, and chronic diseases. Our brains control all our bodily functions, and by creating a neuro-adaptive shift, we can recover from “adverse emotional experiences.”
NET corrects physical imbalances to address emotional stress responses. It's not counseling, but works to correct spinal misalignments, thus creating homeostasis.
Dr. Bethany is passionate about both modalities and the progress she has witnessed in her patients who experience these offerings. Chronic health issues often stem from unresolved stress, and her work strives to make the body less habitable for such adverse experiences to occur and propagate.
Dr. Bethany finds her work to be a perfect fit for “anyone with a spine,” and she especially finds satisfaction working with those suffering from autoimmune diseases, as it harkens back to her childhood experience.
Her approach is beyond back pain, as much of our emotional trauma and self-limiting beliefs are stored in our bodies, and by finding spinal and neurological release, our emotional life can increase tenfold. QNRT and NET provide clearing of such issues as they work directly with the brain. It’s also endlessly beneficial to reach out to healthcare professionals for healthy coping mechanisms and non-biased, third-party analysis of neural responses and bodily patterns.
January is the prime time to focus on healthy living while recovering from holiday-induced stressors. Familial obligations, seasonal treats, and overall indulgence can make it more difficult to calm our nervous systems and find balance. Dr. Bethany says something as simple as a walk outside can calm our nervous systems while balancing cortisol levels. It’s also vital to grant ourselves grace, fully process all emotions, and celebrate small daily wins. A flood starts with a trickle, and every moment we make a healthy choice can lead to lifelong habits.
Starting the year off on a good footing begins with implementing daily rituals that promote consistent self-care. Find something that brings you joy, perhaps your morning cup of matcha or coffee, and really hold space to be present for that act. Put away screens, sit in a comfortable spot, and take the time to savor the moment.
By tending to ourselves with this type of nurturance, past wounds slowly soften, and we can start the day as our best selves. When we’re taken care of on this base level, we show up better in all our relationships, and our energetic capacity is increased. This ritual doesn’t need to be overly long or complicated; frankly, the simpler the better, with a focus on full-body, present-moment awareness.
If you’re looking to enhance your health rituals this year, Dr. Bethany sees massive benefits from regular spinal adjustments, which promote nervous system regulation while addressing current health concerns.
Our past traumas, physical and emotional, do not have to overtake our daily experiences. In Dr. Bethany’s words, “It’s beautiful that most people are searching for connection, understanding, and loving, meaningful relationships, even if they are deeply hurt.” Check in, ask for help, and stay endlessly curious about making your health better with Dr. Bethany at Evolutionary Wellness.
