Inflammation is a killer, more so than anyone thought

Type 2 Diabetes, Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases are being linked to inflammation.

Inflammation disrupts many processes in the body:
It can effect the normal process of sugar consumption, digestion, neurotransmitter production, energy production, normal coordination between neurons as well as others.

With inflammation you can have symptoms like peripheral neuropathy which typically is associated with diabetes, post-concussion symptoms which is typically associated with increased microglial cell activation (the inflammatory cycle is not turned off) and poor vestibular and oculomotor function, as well as depression and energy related issues.

We run blood labs on almost all of our new patients when indicated, and we assess them functionally to make sure they aren’t outside of the OPTIMAL levels. If they are, people tend to be symptomatic and we then support your system to promote improved biochemical stability.

If you would like for us to take a look at your lab work or blood labs that have been run within the past 3 months, and you have a chronic problem, please download and complete the
MAF (Metabolic Assessment Form) from our forms page and call our office to make an appointment for a metabolic evaluation. (480) 756-2600

Janine Crifasi, DC, CCST

Dr. Janine Crifasi, our newest team member at AZ Chiropractic Neurology, is originally from New York – which explains the accent. She attended Life Chiropractic College West and was the Centennial class’s Most Outstanding Graduate. She practiced in the Bay Area until moving closer to family to raise her son who is attending college.

Dr. Janine is committed to learning and educating people to change their awareness about their bodies’ potential and empowering them with unique methods of retraining their brains to maximize their quality of life through neuroplasticity. Her passion to help others puts her patients at ease and makes her a highly sought-after community speaker. Prior to coming to Chandler, she owned a center specializing in kids with learning disabilities and served as the northeast clinical director of a functional neurology practice, overseeing several functional neurology clinics. 

She has completed her post-doctoral clinical neuroscience studies in Functional Neurology through the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies and has successfully completed the clinical exam and is now board eligible for the written portion. She is a Board Certified Doctor of Chiropractic for over 26 years. She has received additional extensive training in Spinal Trauma, and the Activator Method, and has a certification in Postural Neurology. 

In an effort to better serve her patients, Dr. Crifasi completed postdoctoral specialty training in blood chemistry, thyroid chemistry, brain chemistry, neuro-immune, and neuro-endocrine functional medicine. This knowledge of the brain-gut axis, and the mechanisms that impact our health, allow her to provide patients with easily implemented modifications enhancing improved lifestyle and nutraceutical recommendations as needed.
