CHIROPRACTIC
NEUROLOGY
 Chiropractic
neurology marries the biomechanic/orthopedic aspect of chiropractic care
with the latest techniques of assessment and rehabilitation of the central
nervous system. The result is
a model of diagnosis and care that incorporates all of the patient’s
symptoms into one complete treatment plan.
This is accomplished via an intimate knowledge of
clinical/physiologic neurology as well as pathologic neurology and how the
different systems (visual, olfactory, proprioception, etc.) can
afferentate (stimulate) the central nervous system specifically (for
rehabilitation purposes) and how the central nervous system can affect
function of any or all of these systems in turn. 
The
result is a treatment that is specific for your body and your brain.
Best of all, this option is natural and non-invasive. Because of this
holistic approach, many patients seen by chiropractic neurologists have a
myriad of symptoms that can involve many systems including limbic
(emotional), sensory/motor and cognitive. Due to the fact that all of
these systems feed into and off of one another, it is
important to have a specific treatment plan that results in positive
outcomes for the integration of all of these areas.
The end result is a well integrated body and a well integrated
brain.
Most
people associate traditional chiropractic only with back and neck pain.
This new neurologic model of care is beneficial for many individuals with
symptoms ranging from post-stroke difficulties to vertigo, dystonia,
learning disorders and pain syndromes. Patients dealing with disorders of
the central nervous system or brain based neurological difficulty who
either have not responded to traditional medical care or would like other
options to invasive/pharmaceutical intervention might consider evaluation
and treatment by a chiropractic neurologist.©

CAUSE
AND EFFECT
Chiropractic neurology incorporates
similar training to medical neurology but differs in application,
treatments and therapies. Consequently, chiropractic neurologists
may recommend treatment or therapies that may not be familiar to other
practitioners and will likely be new to you as well. Such treatment,
known as afferent stimulation, is the use of elements of the physical
environment that are non-invasive and non-surgical. Examples of
afferent stimulation include chiropractic adjustments, brain exercises,
light, heat, water, sound, and electric stim. When these
afferent stimulation modalities are specifically and correctly applied to
your case immediate results are often observed. Your nervous
system will begin to regain its optimal function and you will begin
to regain your life.
