Mayer Chiropractic and Wellness Philosophy

My primary purpose is to increase the health of my practice members. This is accomplished through the 5 pillars of health. The 5 pillars of health are Nutrition, exercise, adequate rest, emotional health and a healthy nervous system. This last one is my specialty. All chiropractors move bones in order to take the pressure off your nerves. If a nerve is being interfered with (pulled, rubbed, pinched, etc...) the message it's carrying to or from the brain gets jumbled. The result is pain, numbness, muscle spasm, a compromised immune system, loss of normal motion, headaches, constipation, high blood pressure, and so on and so on. Any symptom you have can be the result of nerve interference. If you have nerve interference, does it make sense to take medication? This will only address the symptom and not the cause. Chiropractic looks at the body as a whole and determines what is needed to restore health. Mayer Chiropractic and Wellness offers a proactive and corrective approach to healthcare by using gentle and specific techniques, cutting edge technology, and ethical practices to meet the needs and diversity of each practice member. If you feel you may benefit from chiropractic care, schedule an appointment or ask Sara about our free consultation.

About Dr. Brent

Brent Mayer was raised in Clinton, Utah. He was brought up in a good family and taught strong values. He attended Fremont Elementary, Sunset Jr. High, and Clearfield High School. He served a mission in the great Missouri, St. Louis Mission. Five days after returning home from Missouri, he moved down to Provo and attended UVSC. After marrying his sweetheart, Shauna, they moved to Ogden and finished up with classes at WSU to get his B.S. degree. In 1996, Brent was accepted to Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. After graduation he moved back to Utah and worked in a postceptorship/associateship with Dr. Russell Harward in Sandy. In March of 2003, Dr. Brent joined forces with his brother, Steve, also a chiropractor. They moved into their new building in October less than a month after moving his family from Roy to Syracuse. Dr. Brent is very excited about the community he works in and is anxious to serve and help as many people as possible. Dr. Brent strongly believes that health and happiness does not happen by accident, but by a conscious choice to lead a healthy lifestyle and to utilize all that chiropractic has to offer.

Q: Dr. Brent, what got you interested in chiropractic?

A: While serving my mission in Missouri, I became acquainted with a chiropractor, Dr. Rand Olsen. I asked him if I could come into his office to be evaluated. I didn't have any complaints at the time but he found some things that definitely needed some work. Dr. Olsen was very open about what he was doing and did a great job answering my many questions. At one point, Dr. Olsen asked me if I was interested in chiropractic as a profession. My response was that I wanted to be an engineer like my father. After taking a few college courses required in an engineering degree, I realized I wasn't enjoying the things that I was learning. After reaching the conclusion that my future wasn't going to be as an engineer, I just knew chiropractic was where my passion is.

Q: Dr. Brent, what is your philosophy about health?

A: I believe in order to have good health you must address all aspects of life. Have you ever heard of the 5 Pillars of Health? The pillars are nutrition, exercise, proper rest, emotional/mental well being, and my specialty-a nervous system that is free from interference. When someone seeks chiropractic care, I address all of the pillars. My goal is to empower my practice members to address the deficiencies they may have in any of the pillars in order to bring about true health and happiness.

Q: I know there's many different adjusting techniques. Dr. Brent how do you adjust your patients and why?

A: In school I learned the traditional manual adjusting (the twist and pop) and really enjoyed it. After graduation, I worked with a doctor who taught me a new technique that aligned with my personality. I use an energy technique to evaluate the spine as well as all the joints of the body to decide what areas need to be adjusted and then I use a hand-held instrument called and Activator to adjust. It's a very specific and gentle way of adjusting, and as my practice members can attest, gets amazing results.

Q: Dr. Brent, why do you feel chiropractic is so important?

A: That's a great question. Let me start off by saying that there is ample evidence which shows chiropractic has existed as long as there have been spines. It wasn't until 1895 that chiropractic began to be organized and taught as a profession. In today's world we are surrounded by sources of stress to our bodies. Whether it be pollutants in our air and water, the lack of proper nutrition in our diets, professions that require us to sit all day long, the sedentary lifestyle many individuals choose, the medication dependant culture we live in, etc...etc.. It is quite overwhelming and many of us are quite unaware of how severe the problem really is. There's a great analogy I like to use.. If you look at a circuit breaker or an old fuse box, it's similar to how our bodies work. If there's too much stress on the line, the breaker trips. Our bodies can only handle so much. The more stress we have, the more subluxations we have, the more we need chiropractic. It's as simple as that.
