Meet Dr. Cooper & Brain Health and Chiropractic
An introduction to the clinic's mission in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, focusing on complex neurological cases. The doctors outline their specialized 4-day Brain Reset Program and the types of patients they serve.
Who We See in the Office
This section details the diverse patient population treated at the clinic, ranging from adults with post-concussion syndrome and POTS to children dealing with ADHD and autism. It highlights the focus on rewiring brain circuits rather than just treating symptoms.
What Makes Functional Neurology Different
The doctors explain the distinction between traditional chiropractic care and functional neurology, which evaluates brain systems like the eyes, vestibular centers, and the cerebellum. They note that this approach is intensive and requires specialized equipment and training.
Why Most Chiropractors Don't Do This
This segment discusses the logistical and educational barriers that prevent most chiropractic practices from adopting functional neurology. The high intensity of therapy and the specific tech required create a distinct business model.
Why Neurological Symptoms Are Invisible
A reflection on the challenge of communicating invisible symptoms like head pressure or dizziness, which lack the physical signs of a broken bone. The doctors emphasize the importance of deep-dive questioning to identify the specific brain areas that are struggling.
The Eye Posture & Chronic Neck Pain Connection
The doctors illustrate how eye posture issues, often resulting from concussions, force the head to compensate, leading to persistent neck pain. They explain why adjusting the neck alone fails to resolve the root neurological cause.
Core Belief: The Body Can Recover Itself
A discussion on the foundational philosophy that the body is programmed to recover if the brain is guided out of a "fight or flight" state. By rebuilding foundational structures, the doctors aim to promote a rest and recovery response throughout the entire body.
Brain-Body Mismatch & Why Symptoms Linger
This part explains the concept of "mismatch," where sensors in the feet, gut, and head fail to provide the brain with accurate information. This sensory dysfunction leads to compensation patterns and persistent symptoms.
Functional Neurology, Explained Simply
The doctors define functional neurology as the study of the nervous system in a state of function, comparing their role to a personal trainer for the brain. They provide examples of how specific, targeted therapies can strengthen weak neural pathways.
A Different Option When You've Tried Everything
An overview of why this approach is ideal for chronic patients who have exhausted traditional treatments. The clinic combines vision, vestibular, and chiropractic therapies with hyperbaric oxygen to stimulate recovery.
The POTS & Salt Myth
The doctors debunk the common belief that salt is the primary solution for POTS. They argue that the root cause lies in the brain's inability to interpret gravity and coordinate systems, which requires neurological integration rather than just dietary changes.
Results We've Seen with Parkinson's
A look at the clinical results observed in Parkinson's patients, specifically regarding improved balance, reduced tremors, and more fluid gait control. By addressing the neurological components of rigidity, they help patients achieve greater physical independence.
Inside the 4-Day Brain Reset Program
A description of the intensive, 4-day treatment schedule involving multiple hours of daily therapy and hyperbaric oxygen. The doctors explain that this "high-intensity" approach builds muscle memory and reflexive improvements more effectively than sporadic care.
After the Program: Home Care & Independence
The final section covers the transition to home-based exercises and lifestyle adjustments that ensure long-term independence for both children and adults. It emphasizes that the ultimate goal is to empower patients to manage their health outside the office.

Review. Reset. Restore.
Review
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, starting with your Brain Reset Symptom Index followed by a comprehensive neurological exam and advanced diagnostics including VNG or RightEye, Modified CTSIB Balance Assessment, and Reaction Time. This allows us to objectively assess how your brain and nervous system are functioning and calculate your Brain Reset Score, identifying the specific areas of dysfunction that need to be addressed.
Reset
You then complete the 4-day intensive, consisting of approximately 2 hours of targeted neurological rehabilitation per day, along with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) when appropriate. Each session is customized to your findings, delivering precise input to stimulate and retrain underperforming brain pathways.
Restore
On the final day, we perform a reassessment to update your Brain Reset Score and objectively measure progress. You'll leave with a personalized plan that includes home exercises, lifestyle strategies, and next steps to help maintain and build on your results long-term.
How We Drive Neurological Change
Neuroenergetics
Optimizing the brain's ability to produce and utilize energy using therapies such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), helping support cellular function, oxygen delivery, and neurological recovery.
Autonomic Balance
Regulating the autonomic nervous system to improve stability, resilience, and the brain's ability to shift out of a chronic stress state.
Sensory Integration
Restoring balance across visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems to improve how the brain processes and responds to sensory input.
High-Intensity Therapy
Delivering a concentrated dose of targeted neurological input over a short period of time to drive meaningful neuroplastic change.
How We Measure Your Brain
Brain Reset Symptom Index
A detailed intake that captures your symptoms, history, and functional limitations, helping us understand how your condition is impacting daily life.
Comprehensive Neurological Exam
A hands-on evaluation of cranial nerves, eye movements, coordination, reflexes, and sensory-motor function to identify specific areas of neurological dysfunction.
Neuro-Visual Processing Assessment (VNG or RightEye)
This evaluates how your brain processes eye movements and visual input, which are closely tied to vestibular and cognitive function.
BTrackS Modified CTSIB Balance Assessment
This assesses how well your brain integrates visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive input to maintain stability.
Reaction Time and Processing Assessment
Evaluates cognitive speed, attention, and responsiveness, providing insight into how efficiently your brain processes and reacts to information.
The Brain Reset Score
Each of these areas is scored and combined into a Brain Reset Score out of 100, providing an objective measure of how your brain and nervous system are functioning.
This score establishes your baseline, guides your individualized treatment plan, and is reassessed to track measurable progress over time.
What We're Working Toward
The goal of the Brain Reset Program is to help patients break out of a chronic symptomatic state and begin functioning more independently from their symptoms. By improving how the brain processes and tolerates sensory input, patients are able to regain stability, confidence, and control in their daily lives.
A key focus is restoring autonomic balance and sensory processing, creating a more stable internal environment where the brain and body can adapt more effectively. This allows patients to better engage in foundational aspects of health — such as nutrition, lifestyle, and exercise — which are essential for maintaining long-term progress.
Ultimately, the goal is to help patients get back on their feet, reduce reliance on symptoms to guide their life, and move forward with greater resilience and independence.
More Than Symptom Management
The Brain Reset Program is not about managing symptoms — it's about identifying and correcting the neurological dysfunction driving them.
By addressing root-level dysfunction through targeted, measurable rehabilitation, patients gain independence from their condition rather than dependence on ongoing treatment.
What Patients Are Saying
"Words really can't express what an amazing experience I had during my Brain Reset with Dr. Cooper. I went from having daily, chronic dizziness to feeling normal again for the first time in a decade. I went to every specialist before seeing Dr. Cooper and was simply told I would have to live with my symptoms. Day 1 of the Brain Reset and I knew that wasn't going to be true — I finally had hope again."
"I came from across the country to Brain Health and Chiropractic in Sioux Falls to see Dr. Cooper after years of struggling with anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, and insomnia. I had visited other chiropractors and functional medicine clinics and have done every test you can think of, but nothing ever truly fixed the problem — until this. By the end of those four days, my sleep improved, my focus and clarity returned, my energy increased, and my anxiety dropped dramatically."
"When I first went in for my initial evaluation, I felt completely hopeless. My list of symptoms just kept growing with time — chronic stomach issues, persistent bloating, constant dizziness, and migraines. But everything changed after seeing Cooper. I completed four days of intensive treatment — and the results were beyond anything I could've imagined. My symptoms were almost completely gone. Everything I had been struggling with turned out to be neurological."
"It has been pure joy having the opportunity to work with Dr. Cooper and his team! His approach, combining functional medicine, neurology, and chiropractic care is truly what sets his practice apart. My journey to recovery from neurological Lyme has been a process and I am so thankful for the insight and vast improvements I've experienced in just 4 short days."
