Michael W. Hall, DC, FIACN

Board Certified Chiropractic Clinical Neurology - Advanced Certified Pediatrics, Whiplash, Rehab, Sports Injuries

Instructor - International Pediatric Chiropractic Association
Adjunct Professor - Barcelona College of Chiropractic
Owner | Chiropractor - Northwest Sport and Spine

Dr. Michael W. Hall is a seasoned healthcare professional with over three decades of experience in chiropractic care and functional neurology. Raised in a small town, Dr. Hall’s early passion for the sciences and his desire to improve people’s health led him to pursue a career in chiropractic medicine. His expertise bridges biological sciences with the restoration of health and well-being, making chiropractic care an ideal path for his career.

Throughout his career, Dr. Hall has dedicated himself to advancing clinical chiropractic services and educating practitioners globally on the principles of functional neurology. He has taught thousands of chiropractors, students, and healthcare professionals about the complexities of neurological health, with a focus on the unique differences in brain function and how these differences affect overall health, behavior, and performance.

Dr. Hall is a strong advocate for a more personalized approach to healthcare. In his view, traditional healthcare often falls short by treating patients as a homogenous group, rather than recognizing the unique physiological and neurological needs of each individual. His philosophy, grounded in scientific and clinical literature, underscores the distinct neurological and physiological differences between males and females, particularly in brain composition, body mass, vascular tone, and neural connectivity.

As the healthcare industry faces increasing challenges, including stress, sleep deprivation, malnutrition, and excessive screen time, Dr. Hall emphasizes the importance of evaluating and improving the nervous system’s function. His approach seeks to address the root causes of health issues by restoring neurological balance and enhancing body function. By focusing on the efficiency of the nervous system, Dr. Hall believes patients can achieve improved health outcomes and a higher quality of life.

Dr. Hall’s work includes research-driven presentations, case studies, and innovative approaches that demonstrate the impact of chiropractic care on nervous system responsiveness. He has worked tirelessly to bring new insights and practical applications to healthcare providers through both traditional and emerging technologies.

In 2017, Dr. Hall founded BrainDC, a platform dedicated to educating healthcare professionals on the latest advancements in neurological health. BrainDC’s mission is to improve global health by providing resources and training to doctors worldwide, ultimately aiming to reduce the prevalence of chronic illnesses and preventable degenerative disorders.
