Meet Dr. Karl Johnson, DC, BCN, FIFHI, FICPA, CFMC
Dr. Karl R.O.S. Johnson has been delivering exceptional patient care since graduating with honors from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1983. With an unwavering commitment to his profession, he established Advanced Chiropractic Care Center, PC, which is now known as Johnson Chiropractic Neurology & Nutrition, in May of that same year. Renowned for his expertise, Dr. Johnson has dedicated his practice to assisting individuals with chronic conditions who have not responded well to alternative treatments or who have yet to achieve their desired recovery outcomes using conventional methods.
Dr. Johnson is renowned for his vast knowledge and extensive experience in his field. His commitment to continuous education is highlighted by over 400 hours of advanced postgraduate study in neurology, underlining his expertise and dedication culminating in his graduating from the esteemed American Functional Neurology Institute. Dr. Johnson also holds a prestigious board certification in neurofeedback from the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance. Moreover, Dr. Johnson has been recognized as a Certified Functional Medicine Clinician by the esteemed Kharrazian Institute. His relentless pursuit of excellence is further exemplified by his fellowships with the Institute for Human Individuality and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. This unwavering dedication to research and learning has earned Dr. Johnson a stellar reputation among his patients, who admire his determination to identify and address the root causes of their health issues.
Dr. Johnson firmly believes in taking a comprehensive approach to patient care, understanding that your illness does not define you. Instead, he acknowledges the numerous factors that contribute to your overall well-being. With a wealth of knowledge acquired from esteemed physicians and researchers in the fields of functional medicine and neurofeedback, Dr. Johnson is deeply passionate about offering drug-free solutions for optimal brain health. He has undergone specialized training in cutting-edge techniques like the Safe and Sound Protocol, Heart Math heart rate variability biofeedback, Interactive Metronome, and IM Home systems. Additionally, Dr. Johnson is board-certified in neurofeedback (BCIA BCN). At Michigan Brain Health, the primary focus is on maximizing brain function to improve daily performance. This is accomplished through brain-wave training, dietary interventions to regulate gut-mediated inflammation, and teaching individuals how to reduce their fight or flight response (CNS arousal dysregulations) through heart rate variability biofeedback and the Safe and Sound Protocol program.
Neurofeedback is a powerful tool he utilizes to optimize brain function. Grounded in basic learning theory, neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, trains the brain to enhance self-regulation and discover more efficient pathways for improved management and healing. While neurofeedback doesn’t directly treat conditions, it assists the nervous system in making adjustments to improve overall function.
Neurofeedback has been proven to have profound benefits in a wide range of conditions, providing significant improvements, remediation, and relief. By combining it with nutritional support to enhance body function, neurofeedback can even offer assistance in managing the effects of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and concussions. It’s important to keep in mind that EEG biofeedback is not a medical procedure and cannot be used to diagnose or treat mental or neurological disorders. Instead, its focus is on gradually and systematically increasing a person’s competence through coaching and biofeedback.
