About Dr. Katy and Dr. Ted

Katrina Eakle, D.C. (Dr. Katy) and Milton Morter, I.V., D.C. (Dr. Ted) met while attending Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas. In Chiropractic School, they developed a kinship in treating patients using the most gentle and effective methods. (Please see Our Techniques for more information about our methods.)

Dr. Katy has taken post-graduate courses in Pediatric Chiropractic, Neurology, Upper Cervical Care, Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique, and Cranial Adjusting. Growing up in West Virginia, she wanted to follow in her family's footsteps and become an Osteopath. But watching her family's frustration with an increasingly drug-hungry public caused her to follow an alternate path. After several years behind a desk, she was fortunate enough to develop severe headaches which led her to her first Chiropractic adjustment and her decision to follow a holistic path. She now specializes in adjusting the top vertebrae of the spine which has been affiliated with headaches, high blood pressure, and many other conditions.

Dr. Ted's post graduate study has included Neurology, Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.), and Quantigrative Integration. He is a third generation Chiropractor who's grandfather invented the B.E.S.T. technique, which is a key component of the Bright Side. Working with his family for the past ten years using B.E.S.T., he helps people balance their autonomic nervous system, update subconscious memory programs, and create a more positive and peaceful perception of their own lives. Utilizing a technique called B.E.S.T. (Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique), Ted helps people identify problem areas and offer positive solutions that help them take charge of their lives.

To help your family become healthier next year than right now, you need to identify areas that need improvement. At the Bright Side, we know that every person is different, with an individual set of health circumstances based on their life choices. Our wide range of expertise enables us to provide individualized care customized to each person's body.

Our Techniques

  • BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T) is a non-forceful, energy balancing hands on procedure used to help reestablish the full healing potential of the body. Understanding the body makes no mistakes regarding health and longevity, B.E.S.T. principles acknowledge the concept of Interference we create with our conscious mind. This Interference caused imbalance in the autonomic nervous system leading to exhaustion of our organ systems over time.
  • Toggle Recoil is a quick adjustment addressing the Upper Cervical area of the spine while the patient is relaxed. It is a means of gently, and usually painlessly, persuading the Atlas (the top bone of the spinal column) to return to its correct resting position without forcing or stressing the joint or the body.
  • Cranial Adjusting is a low-force, gentle method of aligning the bones of the skull. The proper movement of cranial bones during respiration is critical to brain and nervous system function due to circulation of the protective fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
  • Activator is a technique using a hand-held instrument that delivers a quick, gentle and specific thrust to joints of the spine and extremities.
  • Sacro-Occipital Technique uses gentle adjustments with the doctor's hands as well as pelvic blocks to normalize movement of the sacrum (the bone you sit on) and the skull. These adjustments help to normalize the flow of the fluid surrounding your spinal cord and brain.
  • Thompson Technique utilizes a table with droppable sections at different levels of your spine. The doctor will input a slight thrust to initate the adjustment, but your bodyweight and gravity are the technique's main components.
  • Logan Basic Technique seeks to align the sacrum with a gentle, sustained contact at the apex of the sacrum. This contact will, in turn, relax muscles along the spine allowing the adjustment to take place.
