Our Approach: Chiropractic & Health Restoration in Mason, OH Told you're fine? We ask a different question.

Being dismissed is not the same as being well. When symptoms keep returning, the useful question is not how to quiet them but why they started. Here is how we ask it: three stressors, four steps, real testing.

If you've spent years collecting referrals and reassurances, you know the script. Fifteen minutes, a standard panel, and a conclusion that doesn't match how you actually feel: "everything looks fine."

We start from a different premise. Common is not normal.

Running on empty, reacting to foods you've eaten your whole life, hurting in ways no scan has explained: all of that is common, and none of it is normal. Those symptoms are signals worth investigating, not noise to be managed.

So instead of matching each complaint to something that quiets it, we ask what your body is responding to. Physical stress. Chemical stress. Emotional stress. We test for the pattern, explain it in plain English, and build a plan around what we find, working alongside your physician rather than in place of them. Patients come to us from Mason, West Chester, Loveland, and across greater Cincinnati for exactly this kind of second look.

The Wellness Way Approach

The Three T's

Nearly every stubborn health challenge involves inflammation, and inflammation always has drivers. They differ from person to person, so the investigation starts in the same three places every time.

Traumas

Physical stress, stored in the structure.

Car accidents you walked away from. Nine hours a day of desk posture. The labor job that built your shoulders and wore down your low back. Years of compensation change how your frame loads and moves, and that can interfere with how clearly your nervous system communicates. A thorough exam maps where old stress still lives, and specific adjustments may help restore better movement and clearer signaling.

Toxins

Chemical stress, riding in quietly.

It arrives in food, water, air, cookware, and the products on your skin, and your liver, gut, and hormones have to process all of it. When the load outpaces your capacity, symptoms can surface far from the source. Targeted lab work can show which exposures may be taxing your system, so reducing them becomes a plan instead of a guess.

Thoughts

Emotional stress, written into physiology.

A nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight shifts cortisol, digestion, sleep, and hormone signaling all at once. That's physiology, not weakness, and it is not all in your head. We look at the stress patterns your body is still running, because a plan that ignores them is a plan that works against itself.

Address one T and ignore the other two, and the pattern usually finds its way back. We look at all three from the first visit.

How we decide what to test

Test, don't guess. Your story picks the panels, not a template.

You wouldn't pay a mechanic to replace parts at random until the noise stopped. Your body deserves at least that much diligence. Testing exists so your plan is built on measurements instead of hunches.

Based on your history, symptoms, and goals, Dr. DeNome recommends specific functional panels: hormones, thyroid, gut health, food sensitivities, toxic burden. Testing is recommended, never required, and you hear the cost and the reasoning behind every panel before anything is ordered. Labs are billed separately and transparently, so there are no mystery invoices.

And when results come back, you don't get a portal upload and a shrug. We sit down together and translate the numbers: what they suggest, what they rule out, and what happens next.

The 4-Step Process

Whether you come in for an adjustment or for answers, the arc is the same. Here is the whole process, so you always know where you are in it.

  1. 1

    A New Perspective

    Your first visit is a conversation, not a conveyor belt. You talk, we listen: what you've tried, what you've been told, and what you want your health to let you do again. If the drive to Mason is a barrier, virtual appointments are available for health restoration care.

  2. 2

    We Test

    Advanced functional lab work paired with detailed intake tools, chosen for your case rather than pulled from a template. The goal is to surface what may be driving your symptoms, including patterns a standard panel was never designed to catch.

  3. 3

    We Discover

    When results are in, we walk through them together in plain English: what's happening, why it may be happening, and what your body needs to start moving in a better direction. That conversation becomes your Health Restoration Plan.

  4. 4

    We Guide

    A plan only matters if you can live it. Hands-on chiropractic care, nutrition guidance, a supplement care plan, and lifestyle support, adjusted as your body responds. You're never handed a PDF and left to figure it out alone.

Common questions

What is the Wellness Way Approach?

A whole-person approach that asks why your body is doing what it's doing, not just what to manage on the surface. We use in-depth lab testing, chiropractic care, and personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance to address the patterns underneath your health challenges.

What are the 3 T's?

Traumas, Toxins, and Thoughts. Three categories of stress that interact with everything from your hormones to your nervous system to your immune response. Investigation begins with assessing all three because the drivers of inflammation vary from person to person.

How do you decide what tests to run?

Based on your story, current symptoms, history, and goals. Testing is recommended (never required), and we walk through the cost and rationale before ordering anything. You stay in control of what gets tested.

How long does health restoration usually take?

It depends on what we're addressing. Acute pain may resolve in weeks. Chronic patterns and complex cases (autoimmune, hormone, gut) typically take three to six months of consistent care before meaningful change shows up. We build a Health Restoration Plan with realistic timelines and check in regularly.

Will I have to stop my current medications?

No, and we never advise stopping medications. Your prescribing physician makes those decisions. Our role is to help you understand the systems beneath your symptoms so you and your medical team can make better-informed choices over time. We work alongside conventional care, not in place of it.
