Meet the Dr.:
Hi! I'm Dr. Brian S. Ruggiero and I am excited to have started a new chapter of my life here in Boulder, Colorado in July of 2017! The people, mountains, energy, and food of Bedrock accept been calling me to motility out to this area and start another concern for years. I'grand thrilled that I finally made it!
I am a Boston native, and since 2005, I have run a successful practise, "Ruggiero Family unit Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Eye," in Manchester, Connecticut. I have learned skills in a variety of techniques that provide effective pain relief with specific and gentle chiropractic adjustments, muscular/soft tissue therapy, equally well every bit rehabilitative stretches and exercises. Patients acquire, with my guidance, how to strengthen the surrounding musculature to maintain the benefits of chiropractic treatment outside of the office. In add-on to being a licensed chiropractor, I am as well a nationally certified acupuncturist, hypnotherapist, and shamanic/free energy healing practitioner.
My Chiropractic and Healing Arts Story:
In 1996, while I was working a shift as a Basic-EMT for AMR in Worcester, MA, I began seeing blurred vision in my correct eye. Later on a short time, the vision cleared and was replaced with severe head pain. Immediately, I went to a local ER where the nurses and doctors diagnosed me with a migraine. They administered Fiorinal, which unfortunately only took the border off of the pain, while making me feel agitated and restless. The following day, I scheduled a visit with my PCP who prescribed other medications. Not happy with the ineffectiveness of the medications to accept abroad the pain, as well as the side effects, I searched for another answer to treat the problem.
At that fourth dimension, I decided to go to a chiropractor who explained to me that the issues were coming from my neck, due to a reversed cervical spine, and that chiropractic adjustments would help to care for the problem at its source. I was happy and relieved to detect a solution to the problem that would actually assist my body rather than having to worry well-nigh side effects. Afterward receiving just a few adjustments, I no longer had pain, and with occasional follow-up handling, the migraines did not return. I was extremely happy with the effectiveness of the chiropractic treatment. The manner in which the art of chiropractic and the body worked together made sense to me. It was at that moment that I began to shadow chiropractors. I knew that I always wanted to assist people in a wellness profession. Becoming a chiropractor felt right. I would exist my own boss, the job was physical in nature, and I could help patients immediately feel ameliorate later receiving a treatment.
After this realization, I enrolled at New York Chiropractic College. I loved the strength and diverseness of the curriculum and how it prepared me to pass the licensing boards. During my kickoff 4 years as a chiropractor, I worked in multiple practices, gaining feel with a diversity of patients who had a diverseness of conditions. I felt passionate about learning a variety of chiropractic and soft tissue techniques and then that I could have a "tool breast" of treatment modalities, which would help patients obtain relief in a gentle, specific, and timely manner. I too enjoyed learning piece of cake-to-think, specific rehabilitation exercises that patients could perform at dwelling, in order to assistance themselves hold their adjustments and decrease the run a risk of an exacerbation in the hereafter.
In 2005, I opened my own chiropractic office, "Ruggiero Family unit Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Center," integrating all that I had learned from my by experiences. I went dorsum to schoolhouse to learn acupuncture equally some other powerful tool to help people out of their pain, as well every bit help with a diversity of other ailments. Throughout my years of practice, I began to realize that hurting was often the symptom of a deeper core result. Treating the physical body was only 1 part of the puzzle to help remove the true source of hurting. This realization inspired me to acquire more about healing the mind, trunk, and spirit, which motivated me to obtain boosted grooming and certifications. Slowly, I began to contain hypnotherapy, "feeding your demons" therapy, reconnective "easily-off" free energy healing, and shamanic chakra energy healing therapies with chiropractic treatment patients. Amazingly, they responded more than quickly and with lasting, life-changing results.

I only recommend to patients what they need depending upon how they answer to handling, and I offer the tools to prove them how to help themselves.
- I believe in offer patients a diversity of chiropractic techniques in guild to go the best upshot.

More than structured fourth dimension tin can besides exist recommended and added on for other handling modalities such equally physiotherapy modalities, acupuncture, hypnotherapy, "feeding your demons," and Shamanic/free energy work.
