Overview
Brief Summary
Pilot study design that operationalizes the multimodal manner of care while evaluating changes in depression symptoms, dysmetria, and balance for medication non-responders.
Detailed Description
Pilot study design that operationalizes the multimodal manner of care while evaluating changes in depression symptoms, dysmetria, and balance for medication non-responders. This research will provide an initial first step towards answering the following three research questions: 1. Does a multimodal chiropractic applied clinical neuroscience approach to care affect self-reported symptoms of depression? 2. Does a multimodal chiropractic applied clinical neuroscience approach to care affect dysmetria and balance control in a clinically depressed population? 3. Are changes in dysmetria and balance control correlated with a change in depressive symptoms.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
P300 Auditory Evoked Potential task
Time Frame: 20 minutes
Time-locked electroencephalography recording of the P300 event related potential. P300 testing involves placing electrodes on the participant's scalp while the individual is listening to a series to two different tones through headphones.
Secondary Outcomes
- Shift Balance Platform(10 minutes)
