Dr. Janine Crifasi Chiropractic Physician and Practitioner

Dr. Janine Crifasi became a Chiropractor with an emphasis in Functional Neurology in order to better understand the many unanswered, minimized responses to complex health conditions she has seen in family and friends.This led to a more comprehensive, clinical application approach focusing on the integral brain-body connection, which then led her to the Holistic and Functional Model for health and wellness. Dr. Crifasi completed her post-doctoral studies through the Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies. She has successfully passed her Functional Neurology Clinical Applications portion of the Neurology Board eligible for the written section.

Additionally, she has her 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 on health, allows her to provide patients with easily implemented and therapeutic lifestyle medicine recommendations. Her next step was to join the team at Greatness Labs and work with peak performance athletes and be part of future research studies in Clinical Neuroscience.
