Active-duty and retired military veterans, as well as first responders, encounter intense mental and physical challenges during and after their selfless service to the nation and community. The INVICTA Project provides real-life heroes with unprecedented access to innovative, less invasive health care treatments covering a range of symptoms and conditions related to traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Providing Transformative Support
The INVICTA Project has stepped up to the challenge of providing life-changing treatment options for our heroes. The organization empowers the brave heroes who risk so much and now need professional care to recover balance in their brains and bodies, and to restore their health and overall well-being. The mission of The INVICTA Project is to ensure that dedicated individuals who gave their all to serve our nation and communities have access to critical recovery treatment options at no cost to them.
Tailored Treatment Approach
Tailored, personalized treatments are administered at the Parker Performance Institute (PPI) located at The Star in Frisco, Texas. PPI professionals enable The INVICTA Project to achieve its mission of providing unwavering support to those who are selflessly dedicated to serving others. PPI’s less invasive treatment approaches and use of cutting-edge technology offer veterans and first responders with recovery options for a range of conditions, including:
Post-concussion syndrome
Brain fog
Headaches and memory impairment
Physical pain
Sleep issues
Hormonal imbalances
Nutritional deficiencies
Musculoskeletal problems
The specialized treatment program at PPI encompasses a two-week residential protocol as part of a longer-term care process. Patients undergo diagnostic evaluations and assessments to set their individualized health baseline and create a unique program for their stay. A patient begins their recovery journey with a comprehensive neuromusculoskeletal and metabolic evaluation to assess previous injuries and uncover any related functional deficits.
Through state-of-the-art, innovative technology and treatments, The INVICTA Project proudly provides essential services and therapies, including:
Neurological Treatment
Oculomotor therapy
Vestibular therapy
Dysautonomia therapy
Musculoskeletal Treatment
Chiropractic manipulation
Manual therapy
Rehabilitative exercise
Metabolic Assessment and Treatment
Functional labs
Diet and lifestyle assessment
Professional supplements
A patient’s program completion involves post-treatment diagnostics, reviews, and a comparative debrief to their initial day. After the two-week residential phase, patients receive mental and physical maintenance guidance before stepping back into their everyday lives. In addition, patients can always maintain digital access to their PPI doctors.

It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
The Romberg test is a neurological procedure used to assess balance and can be used to gauge a patient’s risk of falling. Unfortunately, the test itself is a fall risk. The fall risk is not huge, and falls are not frequent. However, I have encountered a few situations that have influenced how I use and teach the test.
Sadly, Japan now has over 12,000 chiropractic therapists (Zenkenkai/JCA chiropractors), dramatically outnumbering the fewer than 700 DCs who have graduated from accredited chiropractic educational programs.
