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.
