Functional Testing

Get the Answers Traditional Labs Miss

Tired of fatigue, gut issues, or hormonal imbalances but your labs are “normal”? Functional Testing uncovers hidden stressors & deficiencies for real healing. Click to learn more!

Uncover the Root Cause of Your Symptoms with Advanced Functional Testing

If you’ve been struggling with chronic fatigue, inflammation, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, or unexplained symptoms—yet traditional lab work says you’re “fine”—functional testing can provide the answers you need.

At the Mountain Movement Center, we use advanced diagnostic testing to evaluate your body's systems at a deeper level, identifying imbalances before they turn into disease. Our approach allows us to create a personalized, root-cause-driven treatment plan so you can take control of your health.

🔬 What is Functional Testing?

Functional testing goes beyond standard lab work, looking at how your body is actually functioning instead of just screening for disease. These tests assess:

Nutritional deficiencies – Checking for low levels of vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients.
Hormonal imbalances – Evaluating thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormone function.
Gut health & digestion – Identifying food sensitivities, leaky gut, and microbiome imbalances.
Metabolic function – Analyzing how well your body processes energy, detoxifies, and burns fat.
Inflammation & immune response – Pinpointing hidden sources of chronic pain, autoimmunity, or fatigue.

Instead of waiting until symptoms progress into full-blown illness, functional testing helps us detect early warning signs and address imbalances before they become major health concerns.

🛠️ Our Functional Testing Services

At Mountain Movement, we offer a comprehensive range of functional tests to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and guide your healing journey.

✔ Comprehensive Blood Panels

🔹 Evaluates cholesterol, blood sugar, inflammation markers, liver & kidney function.
🔹 Provides a complete picture of overall metabolic health.

✔ Hormone Testing

🔹 Measures thyroid hormones, adrenal function (cortisol), and sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone).
🔹 Helps diagnose adrenal fatigue, menopause symptoms, weight fluctuations, and mood disorders.

✔ Nutritional Assessments

🔹 Helps customize a personalized diet and lifestyle plan based on your genetic blueprint.

Why Choose Functional Testing Over Standard Lab Work?

Traditional tests look for disease once it’s already present, while functional testing helps detect imbalances early, giving you the power to make changes before symptoms worsen.

🌿 What Functional Testing Can Reveal

Many of our patients come to us after being told:
📉 “Your bloodwork is normal, but you still feel awful.”
🩺 “There’s nothing wrong, it’s probably just stress.”
💊 “Take this medication and see if it helps.”

But your symptoms are real, and functional testing can help uncover the hidden factors contributing to:

Chronic Fatigue & Low Energy
Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss
Brain Fog, Anxiety & Sleep Struggles
Hormonal Imbalances & Adrenal Fatigue
Joint Pain, Muscle Weakness & Inflammation
Digestive Issues (IBS, Bloating, Acid Reflux)
Autoimmune Conditions & Immune Dysfunction

By identifying which systems need support, we can create a customized plan to restore balance naturally.

FAQs

Pregnancy comes with a lot of questions—and we’re here for all of them. Whether it’s your first baby or your third, it’s normal to wonder how chiropractic fits into this journey. Below, we’ve answered the most common concerns we hear from expectant moms—so you can feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way.

How will I lay on the table?

Our pregnancy tables “drop out” to accommodate your growing belly. Most moms lie face down comfortably until the third trimester, when we may shift to side-lying.

Is it gentle?

Yes—our techniques never involve pressure on your belly. You’ll feel safe, supported, and comfortable throughout your session.

Can I bring my kids to the appointment?

Yes! We love when moms bring their little ones. We even have a kids’ play area in the office.

What if I’m not in pain—can I still benefit?

Absolutely. Many moms report smoother births, less labor pain, and shorter delivery times when receiving regular chiropractic care during pregnancy.

Will this help me recover faster postpartum?

Most of our moms say yes. Care after birth helps realign the pelvis, support the core, and ease back into movement.

Can chiropractic care help with pregnancy-related pain?

Absolutely! Pregnancy can put extra stress on the spine, hips, and pelvis, leading to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can:

  • Reduce lower back and pelvic pain by ensuring proper spinal alignment.
  • Improve posture and balance to accommodate the baby’s growth.
  • Help with labor and delivery by optimizing pelvic alignment, potentially reducing the need for interventions.

We specialize in gentle pregnancy chiropractic techniques, making care safe and effective for expectant mothers. Many of our patients say they feel more mobile, more comfortable, and even sleep better after treatment!

Is chiropractic safe for newborns and infants?

Yes! Chiropractic care for infants is very gentle, using light fingertip pressure to address common issues like:

  • Colic and reflux – Adjustments can help regulate the nervous system and digestion.
  • Torticollis (neck tightness) – Gentle corrections improve head movement and prevent flat spots.
  • Sleep disturbances – Nervous system balance can promote better rest.

Adjustments for babies involve no cracking or force, just precise, soft pressure. Many parents notice improvements in their baby’s mood, digestion, and sleep after just a few visits.

Results We Often See

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can lead to decreased labor times, improved baby positioning (even in breech cases), better pelvic mobility and hip function, reduced back, rib, and pubic pain, and a stronger, faster postnatal recovery.

Dr. Day helped me during my second and third pregnancies—I had less pain, faster recovery, and a better overall experience.
