Although Dr. Blake, as a chiropractor, does not specifically treat depression he has seen the devastating effects the condition has had on his patients’ health, physically, mentally and emotionally.  He has also seen some of the challenges and limitations medicine can have for this disabling condition.  He is aware, as many physicians are, as to the physical ramifications depression can have on the health of an individual. Seeing those devastating effects pushed Dr. Blake to start looking for a new alternative approach which might provide some benefit to these suffering individuals.

Seeking Depression Relief​
His quest for a new innovated alternative approach to the treatment of depression began in the spring of 2011. During an office visit one of his patients was telling Dr. Blake about her son, a senior in high school, and about his battles with depression.  His depression was so bad that he was incapable of even going to school.  He had become a prisoner in his own home.  The boy had seen multiple doctors who prescribed countless medications without any improvements.  The mother stated that the medicine turned her son into a zombie, and he still couldn’t leave their home.  The final medical recommendation was to have her son committed.  This story truly touched Dr. Blake, who stated: “there is nothing more painful than to see a mother anguish over her child”.  From that day forward he started his research. For about 8 months he read everything he could relating to proven, researched, alternative treatments for depression. Learn more about his findings HERE.
