Brain-Based Chiropractic
Chiropractic Care in Littleton, CO
At Dody Chiropractic Center for Wholeness, we look at the body as a whole and are dedicated to treating the underlying cause of your symptoms, not the symptoms alone. Since 2003, Dr. Michael Dody has been helping Littleton families achieve lasting health through gentle, neurologically-driven chiropractic care.
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a natural, safe, and scientifically-grounded form of healthcare. It is a manual therapy focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders originating from the spine and nervous system. At Dody Chiropractic, we aim to restore your health and well-being, alleviate pain, improve and maintain mobility, and prevent future problems naturally, without the use of drugs or surgery.
Your nervous system controls every function in your body. When spinal misalignments (subluxations) interfere with nerve communication, the result can be pain, reduced mobility, and compromised health in seemingly unrelated areas. By correcting these misalignments, chiropractic care restores the body’s ability to heal and regulate itself.
“I’ve been going to Dody Chiropractic since at least 2012, and make the trip across town even though I live on the north side of the metro area. I greatly prefer the KST technique over everything else I’ve experienced elsewhere over my lifetime. The adjustment experience is gentle and targeted. I can consistently depend on having my symptoms relieved.”
Donna C.
“I have more space, mobility and less overall tightness in that area than I have had in 15 years. What he does is science, it’s magic, it’s transformative healing, and it’s lasting change. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Dody highly enough.”

Koren Specific Technique (KST) and ArthroStim
Dr. Dody uses Koren Specific Technique, a gentle but powerful form of chiropractic spinal care. This modern technique allows patients to be analyzed more accurately than ever before, with adjustments holding stronger and for longer periods of time.
KST is a three-step process: Challenge, Check, and Correction. The correction stage uses the ArthroStim instrument, which acts as an extension of Dr. Dody’s hands, targeting only areas of subluxation, distortion, interference, and stress. There is no pushing, pulling, bending, twisting, or cracking. Just the gentle vibration of the instrument.
Unlike traditional chiropractic that analyzes the body in static positions, KST evaluates you in the position of distress. This means Dr. Dody can find and correct issues that are only present when you are standing, sitting, or in the position that causes your symptoms. KST addresses not just the spine but the entire structural system, including cranial bones, TMJ, extremities, and organs.
“I first looked into Dody Chiropractic when I developed lower back pain that had intensified to sharp pain even while sitting at my desk job. After my 3rd adjustment, the TMJ popping and clicking is essentially gone. I can eat on both sides of my mouth. I have regained hearing in my left ear. This is one of the best investments I have made.”
Kaitlyn R.
“I didn’t understand how such a seemingly simple method could be effective, but by that time I had learned I could trust Dr. Dody’s judgment. The treatment did not involve time-consuming, sometimes painful, manipulation. My adjustment could be accomplished in less than 10 minutes. The treatment was effective.”

State-of-the-Art Nerve Scanning
At Dody Chiropractic, we measure the health of your nervous system using the CLA INSiGHT Subluxation Station, the only technology of its kind certified by the NASA Space Foundation. This advanced scanning system provides the ability to detect interference in your spine and nervous system instantly.
The primary purpose of the scans is to assess hidden patterns of stress and establish a baseline for tracking changes from chiropractic care. The INSiGHT system includes three non-invasive tests: surface EMG (measuring muscle tension and spinal nerve function), thermal scanning (measuring autonomic nervous system balance), and heart rate variability analysis (measuring your body’s ability to adapt to stress).
Together, these scans produce a COREscore that gives both you and Dr. Dody an objective picture of your overall nervous system health. Scans are performed at your initial visit and periodically throughout care so you can see measurable, documented progress.

“I work in construction, travel the country with a rigging company, am an avid Spartan Race and OCR athlete, weight train and trail run. Coming to this clinic, I have a better posture, my foundation is more in line. If you are searching to get your body in tune, feel better regularly, and be healthier, I highly recommend Dr. Dody.”
Michael H.
“As of today, I can honestly say that I am pain free in the lower part of my body. Both bottoms of my feet hurt, both hips were compensating. Once he started doing KST Treatments I noticed my visits weren’t so demanding. I am now able to do so much more and exercise is now a staple in my lifestyle.”

Chiropractic and Pregnancy
During pregnancy, women go through significant physiological and endocrinological changes as their body creates the right environment for the developing baby. Women often experience different forms of pain as the baby places pressure on nerves, joints, and muscles.
The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association states that chiropractic care is not only safe and effective during pregnancy, but can also help with labor, delivery, and recovery. Dr. Dody’s gentle KST technique is particularly well-suited for expecting mothers, as there is no forceful manipulation involved.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Chiropractic care is not just for adults. Children encounter many physical stresses in their lives that you may not realize. These stresses can cause your child’s spine to have issues in growth and development.
Seeing a chiropractor regularly can improve sleep, improve behavior and attitude, and encourage better immune system function. Starting chiropractic care while young can create long-term benefits and ensure that your child grows up as healthy as possible. Dr. Dody’s ArthroStim technique is extremely gentle and well-suited for even the youngest patients.
“I have been a chiropractic patient for 50 years. Dr. Dody is very gentle with his adjustments but I notice the same amazing results as I do from manual adjustments. The philosophy here at Dody Chiropractic is wonderful.”
Joanne F.
“I wish I could come here every day! I always feel welcomed, cared about, and understood. Any problem I have, Dr. Dody has been the biggest cheerleader and helper to get it resolved. My only regret is not going to him sooner.”
