Holistic Chiropractic Center - Dr. Louis Granirer

Holistic Chiropractic Services in the Hudson Valley NY

I’m Dr. Louis Granirer, a Hudson Valley-based holistic chiropractor and root-cause practitioner, helping patients find natural relief from pain, fatigue, deficiencies, microbiome imbalances, various bodily symptoms, and other root-cause imbalances.

I have over 25 years of clinical experience and have treated thousands of patients with remarkable results. I blend Chiropractic Care, Applied Kinesiology, The Lebowitz Nutritional Testing Protocol, Craniosacral, Nutrition Response Testing (NRT), and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) to uncover and resolve the root cause(s) of imbalances, whether physical, emotional, or biochemical.

I use applied kinesiology and advanced muscle testing techniques to interpret muscle strength feedback, reflex responses, and nervous system dysregulation. Through a thorough analysis, I determine care priorities, individualized plans that restore balance, and support for your body’s natural ability to heal, optimize, and feel better.

Conditions commonly supported include:

• Chronic back, neck, mid-back, or joint pain
• Sciatica and mobility issues
• Headaches and migraines
• Postural and muscular imbalances
• Allergies
• Digestive issues
• Immune challenges and toxicity 
• Microbiome and metabolic imbalances
• Inflammation
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Emotional and energetic stress patterns
  

Chiropractic Care

As a chiropractic expert with over 25 years of experience, I tailor my technique to each person’s needs. I use low force, very gentle adjusting techniques in conjunction with manual therapy or the Arthrostim chiropractic tool. Not everyone is comfortable with manual adjustments, and this is why the Arthrostim is an effective tool for the gentlest of treatments. I combine this gentle adjustment technique with soft-tissue work, fascial work, trigger-point therapy, acupressure, and intuitive energy work.

My expansive tools and techniques are what set me apart from other practitioners in my field. In some cases, I work with tuning forks to help move energy and create greater balance in the nervous system. My experience working with thousands of people over the years has given me the skillset to intuitively treat and work with people of all ages and walks of life. 

Chiropractic care helps with:

• Lower back, midback, and neck pain
• Shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, foot, and ankle pain
• TMJ, headaches, and migraines
• Nerve irritation and muscular tightness
• Nervous system support

Within a few weeks of care, many patients notice reduced pain, greater mobility, restored function, better posture, deeper sleep, and increased energy. I take great pride in helping patients heal efficiently—often requiring fewer visits than traditional chiropractic approaches. Most injuries respond well to once-weekly sessions or less, allowing the body ample time to integrate each adjustment and progress naturally between visits. I spend more time with patients, allowing fewer overall visits to achieve improvement.

Applied Kinesiology: A Unique Roadmap to Health

Applied Kinesiology (AK) is an advanced healing system that bridges the connection between your muscles, organs, glands, and the nervous system. Every muscle corresponds to an internal organ — when that organ is stressed or requires greater support, a corresponding muscle may weaken.

Through muscle testing, neuro-lymphatic reflex analysis, neuro-vascular reflex analysis, the Chinese meridian system, gentle manual therapy, and cranial work, a practitioner is guided through a treatment protocol. AK uncovers hidden stress patterns and helps correct them naturally.

This method provides a comprehensive roadmap of your body’s imbalances, enabling targeted, highly effective care that restores optimal function. It’s an invaluable tool that provides practitioners with a structured analysis framework while helping patients achieve faster, more significant improvements—often with fewer office visits!

Muscle Testing: A Masterful Biofeedback Tool

Muscle testing is a biofeedback tool that can identify underlying root cause imbalances. This is the cornerstone of my work with patients. It is a powerful assessment tool, and this is why I use it for structural, nutritional, and emotional work. Muscle testing works through the autonomic nervous system. Your autonomic nervous system responds to different stimuli, and a muscle responds in kind with various strength patterns. 

By assessing subtle changes in muscle reactivity, I identify physical and emotional stressors, nutrient deficiencies, organ and gland imbalances, food sensitivities, microbiome imbalances, and root causes of body dysfunction.

One of the things that sets me apart from other muscle testers is the advanced hypertonic, provocative, and blocking testing that I use in my practice. These testing tools reveal deeper layers of dysfunction and guide precise, customized treatment plans.

Muscle testing isn’t as simple as determining weakness vs. strength responses. It requires precision, intuitive analysis, and understanding of the subtleties in the muscle test.

The Lebowitz protocol and Nutrition Response Testing (NRT): Identifying Root Causes and Hidden Stressors

As a leading Lebowitz protocol practitioner and Nutrition Response Testing Practitioner in New York, I specialize in uncovering root causes of imbalance in the body.

The Lebowitz Protocol and Nutrition Response Testing can identify:

• Microbiome imbalances and immune challenges
• Biofilms
• Heavy metal and chemical toxicity
• Food sensitivities and allergens
• Vitamin, mineral, and nutrient deficiencies 
• Organ and glandular stress and dysfunction
• The missing pieces of what the body requires to optimize
• Snp protocols

Once I identify the root causes of your body’s issues, I determine the priorities of care. This is a key aspect of any protocol. The sequence of support should be the correct sequence for the body to respond well and heal. Sometimes a patient needs gentle, supportive tonification of their immune system before beginning detoxification. Many people are not ready to detoxify and need supportive supplementation before entering a detoxification phase.

I find the biggest obstacle that people face with detoxification is having poor drainage and sluggishness in their lymphatic system. My goal is to detoxify when the time is right, and allow it to be a gentle process that won’t require you to stop your life.

Injury Recall Technique (IRT): Releasing the Brain’s Looping of the Memory of Trauma

Even after an injury heals, the brain and nervous system can “remember” the trauma — keeping the body in a loop of dysfunction. It’s like the brain still thinks the injury is present even if most signs of pain or immobility have diminished.

Injury Recall Technique (IRT) helps reset neurological patterns and allows the full and complete healing of an injury. I work with neurological eye movements, the talus bone, and deeper IRT techniques that help the brain and body to connect that an injury is healing and is better.

By releasing old neurological patterns, the injury won’t continue to be triggered, and the area can finally heal properly.
