SVI Vision Retraining Therapy

When we talk about retraining your vision, we aren’t talking about your need for glasses.

Retraining your eyes reduces the amount of energy you spend actually trying to keep your eyes on the target you’re looking at.

If you cannot see what you’re trying to see, then your body will go into stress mode and begin compensating, which throws off the balance of your entire system.

You see (no pun intended), when you have trouble holding your eyes on a target (called gaze stabilization in the neurology world), you experience issues with:

  • headaches/migraines
  • fatigue and jumpy eyes when reading
  • fatigue and jumpy eyes when driving
  • lack of focus when reading and driving
  • diminished concentration when reading and studying
  • eye fatigue just about all the time
  • headaches often resulting from trying to concentrate

These problems with vision and gaze stabilization are associated with many other conditions.

Concussions are one of the most common disruptions in gaze stabilization. Patients with chronic pain/fibromyalgia and anxiety often show breakdown in gaze stability as well.

Other problems with the cerebellum like cerebellar ataxia and metabolic issues like diabetes, inflammation, anemia, methylation issues, gut-related issues etc, often have poor gaze stabilization integrity as well.

Once you begin retraining your eyes to stay on target, tracking a moving object and then fixating on a new target as well as holding on a target while you move your head or are in motion, you’ll see almost immediate results with reduction in symptoms and improvement in performance.

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.
