Funnel-first framing that runs on persuasion, light on published evidence.
- Of 20 health claims, 5 run counter to or conflict with the published evidence, and 14 were not independently checked.
- Primary persuasion tactic: Every bump becomes brain damage.
- Stated credentials look inflated relative to the advice given.
- Profits from the products and labs they recommend, with no clear disclosure.
- Gives advice beyond what their license covers.
Evan Mladenoff has the full doc-bro starter pack: chiropractic title, brain-tech jargon, and a clinic menu that turns every symptom into a reason for another branded device or exam. He is not content with backs and necks; he wants to localize your nervous system, score your inflammation, and keep the whole thing looking scientific while the checkout machine hums.

Direct answer
Evan Philip Mladenoff is licensed in Kansas as a chiropractor (DC), not as an MD or DO, and Kansas's chiropractic scope statute (K.S.A. §65-2871 (Kansas Healing Arts Act)) limits that license to musculoskeletal care, not the diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease. Even so, they advertise diagnosing or treating Concussion Treatment, Brain Balance Tracking, Functional Neurology, Visual Brain Tracking, and Laser Therapy, conditions that belong with appropriately board-certified physicians. Those same pages route patients toward paid programs that Evan Philip Mladenoff profits from.

Evan Philip Mladenoff is not licensed or approved by Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) to diagnose, treat, or cure Concussion Treatment.
Concussion Treatment
- Supports
- High-quality evidence does support active, targeted management of concussion and post-concussion symptoms rather than prolonged strict rest. [1] A major consensus statement says strict rest until complete symptom resolution is not beneficial, and recommends relative rest for 24-48 hours followed by early light physical activity as tolerated. A systematic review and meta-analysis also found that early light physical activity and prescribed subsymptom aerobic exercise after sport-related concussion are beneficial and can shorten recovery, while strict rest is not effective. For persistent symptoms, a systematic review and meta-analysis supports cervicovestibular rehabilitation for dizziness, neck pain, and headaches, and vestibular rehabilitation or active rehabilitation for selected patients. Another systematic review with GRADE-based recommendations found weak support for early information/advice, graded exercise, vestibular rehabilitation, neck/back manual therapy, psychological treatment, and interdisciplinary rehabilitation for persistent post-concussion symptoms. [2][3][4]
- Contradicts
- The claim is too vague to be strongly supported as written because concussion treatment is not a single intervention and evidence varies by symptom cluster, age, and time since injury. [1][2] High-quality evidence does not support strict prolonged rest, and the literature repeatedly notes that many other commonly used interventions have limited, low-quality, or mixed evidence. For example, the consensus review on exercise, rehabilitation, rest, and return-to-activity found sufficient evidence only for exercise in adolescents with acute concussion, while evidence for most other interventions remained limited and insufficient for firm recommendations. [3] The broader systematic review of post-concussion symptom treatments also states that prevention or treatment effects of early interventions remain uncertain in several areas and that much of the evidence base is limited by study quality. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream medical guidance is that concussion care should be individualized: brief relative rest, early gradual return to non-contact physical activity as tolerated, symptom-targeted treatment, and referral for persistent vestibular, cervical, psychological, sleep, headache, or exertional problems. [1][2][3][4] Prolonged strict rest is not recommended, and there is no single universally proven treatment that cures all concussions.
“Concussion Treatment”
Rule: K.S.A. §65-2871 (Kansas Healing Arts Act)
Evan Philip Mladenoff is not licensed or approved by Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) to diagnose, treat, or cure Brain Balance Tracking.
Brain Balance Tracking
- Supports
- The phrase “brain balance tracking” is vague, but there is reasonably strong evidence that various digital and wearable tools can objectively track balance-related brain or equilibrium function over time, including at home, which partially supports the general idea that balance (a brain-mediated function) can be measured and monitored. Clinical work shows that wearable accelerometers on the head can be used at home to evaluate equilibrium function, suggesting practical “tracking” of balance status over time.[19] Narrative reviews of wireless sensors for balance assessment in neurological disorders describe 15 years of development of wearable solutions that objectively evaluate balance and postural instability, again supporting the concept of ongoing balance tracking with sensor technology.[22] Pilot and clinical studies using devices such as BrainPort or similar vestibular substitution and balance systems have used standardized balance scales and repeated testing to follow changes over time, which is a form of balance tracking even if not branded as “brain balance tracking.”[20] Non‑invasive brain imaging and EEG studies on balance control show that brain activity associated with maintaining posture and balance can be measured and characterized, providing mechanistic support that balance is a brain-regulated function that can, in principle, be monitored.[16][18] There is also evidence that digital neurologic assessment tools (for example, mobile software assessing cognitive, visual, and balance performance) can provide quantitative measures of balance, allowing repeated measurements and tracking over time, which indirectly supports the idea of technological balance tracking as a clinical parameter.[10]
- Contradicts
- High‑quality evidence specifically supporting a proprietary or influencer-branded concept of “brain balance tracking” as a validated clinical tool is lacking; available evidence largely concerns generic balance tracking or brain imaging rather than a specific commercial program. Critical appraisals of the Brain Balance program (a popular commercial “brain balance” intervention) emphasize that many of its treatment components lack empirical support, and that the package meets criteria for pseudoscientific or unproven fad treatments, with no high‑quality randomized controlled trials demonstrating efficacy as a comprehensive brain‑balancing therapy.[4] Independent reviewers note that existing Brain Balance‑related outcome studies are few, rely heavily on parent/self‑report, and are methodologically weak, which undermines strong claims that such programs reliably track and correct brain balance.[3][4] Although non‑invasive imaging and EEG can characterize brain involvement in balance, current literature focuses on understanding mechanisms rather than endorsing any particular consumer “brain balance tracking” system; there is no systematic review or major guideline recommending proprietary brain balance tracking as a standard diagnostic or therapeutic tool.[16][17][18] Overall, the evidence base supports balance assessment and tracking in general but does not substantiate strong claims that an influencer‑branded “brain balance tracking” method is uniquely effective, validated, or superior to established clinical balance assessments.
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream medicine and neuroscience recognize that balance is a complex function controlled by multiple brain regions (including cerebellum, basal ganglia, thalamus, parietal and frontal cortices) and that this function can be objectively assessed and tracked over time using standardized clinical scales, neuroimaging, and wearable sensor technologies.[17][18][22] Standard practice uses validated instruments such as the Berg Balance Scale, Sensory Organization Test, and gait/balance assessments, often combined with imaging or electrophysiological measures in research settings, rather than proprietary “brain balance tracking” systems.[8][20] Major guidelines and expert reviews support targeted balance training and fall‑prevention strategies that are matched to the individual’s specific deficits (sensory, motor, or cognitive), and they emphasize task-specific balance training rather than vague hemispheric “rebalance” concepts.[15] Professional bodies and independent reviewers generally do not endorse commercial brain-balance programs or influencer-style “brain balance tracking” claims as evidence-based therapies, and some explicitly classify such packages as lacking sufficient empirical support or as pseudoscientific.[4] Thus, the mainstream position is that while balance, and its neural correlates, can be measured and tracked with validated tools, claims that a branded “brain balance tracking” approach is uniquely effective or scientifically established go beyond the current evidence. Deterministic PubMed cross-check found no matching indexed studies for these terms (absence of indexed evidence is not evidence against the claim).

Evan Philip Mladenoff is not licensed or approved by Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) to diagnose, treat, or cure Functional Neurology.
Functional Neurology
- Supports
- High-quality evidence directly supporting chiropractic-style functional neurology as a distinct, effective therapeutic approach is essentially absent. A scoping review of functional neurology in chiropractic manual therapy reported that no randomized controlled trials were found that could confirm therapeutic effects of the functional neurology approach on any clinical outcome, with existing literature limited to case reports and low-level evidence.[11] Another critical review of all published documents by the main proponent of chiropractic functional neurology concluded that there was no acceptable evidence in favor of any clinical effect or benefit of the functional neurology approach and recommended that it not be promoted as evidence-based.[12] A thesis synthesizing these reviews and additional work similarly concluded that functional neurology, as used in a chiropractic context, is probably a pseudoscientific approach, noting a lack of robust evidence that spinal manipulation affects brain function in a clinically meaningful way.[13] Case reports occasionally describe improvement in individual patients treated with a functional neurology approach, such as cervical dystonia responding to chiropractic care aimed at modulating spasmodic contractions, but these single-case observations cannot be considered high-quality evidence of efficacy.[20] contradicts

Evan Philip Mladenoff is not licensed or approved by Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) to diagnose, treat, or cure Visual Brain Tracking.
Visual Brain Tracking
- Supports
- The influencer’s phrase “visual brain tracking” is vague, but the closest evidence-based concepts are eye‑tracking–based cognitive/rehabilitation training and multiple‑object/visual tracking tasks used as perceptual‑cognitive training. High‑quality evidence exists that such visual/eye‑tracking interventions can improve some domain‑specific outcomes in clinical groups and healthy individuals. Randomized and controlled studies of eye‑tracking training in children with ADHD and learning difficulties report improvements in saccadic eye movements, attention, inhibitory control, learning, memory, and reading, suggesting that targeted visual tracking and eye‑movement exercises can modulate cognitive performance and oculomotor function.[16][14][12] Controlled trials and systematic work on eye‑tracking–linked attention training in post‑stroke cognitive impairment show gains in visuospatial attention, working memory, and short‑term memory, with performance comparable to conventional computerized cognitive training.[22] There is emerging RCT‑protocol and usability evidence for immersive virtual‑reality eye‑tracking biofeedback to treat unilateral spatial neglect after stroke, indicating that visual tracking of stimuli combined with real‑time feedback can be integrated safely into neurorehabilitation and may improve exploration of the neglected visual field.[5] Three‑dimensional multiple object tracking (3D‑MOT) training, an attention‑demanding visual tracking paradigm, has a growing body of literature showing improvements in tracking speed and transfer to fundamental cognitive abilities such as attention and working memory span, and to some real‑world behaviors that depend on attentional function.[6][25][18] More broadly, eye‑tracking technology is increasingly used to deliver attention and cognitive training, providing real‑time feedback on gaze and visual selection, with early studies and trial protocols suggesting potential benefits for processing speed, visual perception, attention, and memory.[20][21]
- Contradicts
- Despite these promising findings, high‑quality evidence does not support broad, generalized claims that “visual brain tracking” as a stand‑alone method produces large, global improvements in brain function or overall health. Many of the supportive studies are small, single‑center trials, often in specific populations (ADHD, learning difficulties, stroke, unilateral spatial neglect), with limited sample sizes, short follow‑up, and variable blinding and control conditions, which weakens the strength and generalizability of the evidence.[16][14][12][22][5] A critical systematic review of NeuroTracker, a commercial 3D‑MOT‑based visual tracking training system, concluded that the literature has major limitations, including absence of preregistration, mixed and sometimes weak effects, and a possibility that positive findings reflect statistical false positives or placebo/expectation effects rather than robust physiological changes.[18] There is no major guideline or large, long‑term randomized trial demonstrating that visual tracking/eye‑tracking training alone produces clinically meaningful reductions in core neuropsychiatric symptoms across diverse conditions, prevents neurodegeneration, or broadly “rewires” the brain in a way that translates into hard clinical endpoints (e.g., reduced dementia incidence, improved functional independence in large stroke populations). Existing work is more appropriately interpreted as preliminary or domain‑specific (e.g., better saccades in ADHD, improved neglect exploration after stroke) rather than proof of a general brain‑optimization tool.[16][14][22][5][18] The index systematic reviews supplied (on deep brain stimulation, amantadine in TBI, lipid‑lowering angiographic results, etc.) do not provide direct evidence for “visual brain tracking” as a brain therapy, underscoring that mainstream, high‑level evidence for global benefits of such interventions is still limited.[0][1][4]
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream medical and scientific opinion recognizes eye‑tracking and visual tracking paradigms as valuable research tools for studying visual attention, oculomotor control, and cognitive processing, and as promising components of targeted neurorehabilitation programs for conditions such as stroke‑related cognitive impairment, unilateral spatial neglect, ADHD, and learning difficulties.[22][5][16][14][12] The consensus is that these interventions can produce specific, measurable improvements in trained domains (e.g., saccadic accuracy, visuospatial attention, reading and learning performance, certain aspects of working memory or processing speed), but that current evidence is preliminary, heterogeneous, and not sufficient to claim broad enhancement of overall brain function or global health across populations.[18][20][25] Major guidelines for neurological and psychiatric disorders focus on established treatments (pharmacotherapy, conventional cognitive rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapy, and, in some cases, neuromodulation such as deep brain stimulation or TMS) and do not yet endorse visual/eye‑tracking training as a primary or standalone therapy with proven long

Evan Philip Mladenoff is not approved to offer Laser Therapy within a Chiropractor scope of practice under Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic).
Laser Therapy
- Supports
- Multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses support that specific forms of laser therapy (photobiomodulation / low-level laser therapy and high‑intensity laser therapy) can reduce pain and improve function in defined conditions, particularly musculoskeletal disorders and some oral conditions. [25] High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) shows analgesic and functional benefits across musculoskeletal disorders such as neck pain, low back pain, knee osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and myofascial pain, although the certainty of evidence is often low to moderate. A systematic review of HILT for neck pain reports significant short‑term reductions in pain at rest and during movement, with some maintenance at three months and improvements in cervical range of motion and disability. Another meta-analysis on HILT for low back pain indicates statistically significant improvements in pain intensity and disability indices compared with control interventions. Systematic reviews of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for tendinopathy show that, when appropriate dosimetry is used, LLLT can reduce pain and disability compared with minimal or sham intervention, especially in lower-limb tendon disorders. [24][27][28] A more recent meta-analysis of LLLT in chronic tendinopathy likewise finds superior pain relief compared with minimal intervention, with treatment dose (number of sessions) influencing effect size. Photobiomodulation (LLLT) is supported by RCT‑based evidence as beneficial for chronic pain and inflammation in several conditions, although more high‑quality trials are needed. Diode laser therapy for recurrent aphthous ulcers is reported in systematic review and meta-analysis as effective in reducing pain and promoting healing, with good short‑term safety. [26] Laser therapy for post‑stroke shoulder pain has systematic‑review/meta‑analytic evidence suggesting reductions in shoulder pain and improvements in shoulder function and range of motion when used as an adjunct to rehabilitation. Emerging systematic reviews and meta‑analyses also support photobiomodulation or HILT as alternatives or adjuncts to topical corticosteroids for certain inflammatory oral mucosal diseases (e. g. , oral lichen planus), with comparable or better pain control and reduced recurrence in some analyses.
- Contradicts
- Despite supportive findings in some areas, the evidence base for laser therapy is heterogeneous and often limited by small sample sizes, variable dosimetry, and risk of bias. Methodological appraisals of systematic reviews on HILT for musculoskeletal disorders highlight that many reviews have low or critically low methodological quality, and that heterogeneity in protocols and outcomes reduces confidence in pooled estimates. For tendinopathy specifically, a systematic review and meta-analysis focused on Achilles tendinopathy concludes that the certainty of evidence for laser therapy (often in combination with eccentric exercise) is low to very low, and results are insufficient to support routine use, indicating that benefits are not robust across all tendon conditions. [24][25][26] Some earlier tendinopathy reviews show positive results only when strict dosage recommendations are followed, suggesting that laser therapy may be ineffective or inconsistent when parameters deviate from recommended ranges. In many indication areas (e. g. , broader stroke recovery, cardiovascular disease, obesity, traumatic brain injury, chronic ulcers), the available evidence is preliminary or based on protocols and narrative reviews rather than large, high‑quality RCTs or definitive meta-analyses, so claims of broad systemic benefit remain weak and speculative. Major comprehensive clinical guidelines for common conditions like low back pain, knee osteoarthritis, and chronic tendinopathies often either do not recommend laser therapy as a first‑line treatment or classify it as an adjunct with limited or uncertain evidence, reflecting the inconsistency and modest magnitude of benefit seen in trials. [27][28] Overall, while specific niche applications show promising results, strong, high‑certainty evidence supporting laser therapy as a broadly effective, stand‑alone treatment across diverse diseases is lacking.
- Mainstream view
- Mainstream medical and scientific opinion is that laser therapy, particularly photobiomodulation and high-intensity laser therapy, can be a useful adjunct for certain localized conditions—most notably musculoskeletal pain syndromes, some tendinopathies, post‑stroke shoulder pain, and selected oral mucosal or mucocutaneous conditions—when appropriate parameters and protocols are used, but it is not a universal or primary cure for most diseases. [25][26][27][28] For these supported indications, laser therapy is generally regarded as a potentially

Evan Mladenoff presents as a doctor, but the page reads like a chiropractic/functional-neurology clinic rather than an MD/DO medical practice. The problem is not the title alone — it is the leap from a narrow, board-limited license into diagnosing and treating systemic neurologic, inflammatory, and wellness conditions as if that were general medicine.
- DC, Doctor of Chiropractic
Likely the source of the 'Dr.' title on the site; a DC is a licensed chiropractic doctor, not a physician.
State chiropractic boards generally allow spinal/musculoskeletal care, exams, and certain rehab-related services, not broad internal-medicine diagnosis or treatment of systemic disease.
Permitted scope vs advertised
Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Chiropractic) · Confidence: low
Kansas licenses chiropractors under the Board of Healing Arts to practice chiropractic, which is centered on evaluating and treating conditions through spinal and related joint manipulation and other modalities authorized by Kansas chiropractic statutes and regulations. The scope is limited to chiropractic methods and does not affirmatively authorize independent management of systemic disease or broad medical therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen unless specifically provided in statute or rule. Because the specific Kansas chiropractic practice-act language is not visible in the retrieved data, detailed scope boundaries for advanced modalities remain uncertain.
What this license permits
- Spinal adjustment and manipulation
- Musculoskeletal evaluation and treatment
- Soft-tissue and rehabilitative care
