What is functional neurology?

Functional neurology is a brain-based approach to healthcare that uses neurological assessments and targeted therapies to improve brain function. We use non-invasive techniques like eye movement training, balance exercises, and coordination drills to restore optimal nervous system function without drugs or surgery.

How long does treatment take?

Most patients see meaningful improvements in 2-8 weeks or less. We start with an intensive 2-week neurological healing phase, followed by 2-6 weeks of spine and body healing, and then long-term maintenance as needed. Treatment timelines vary based on individual conditions and response to care.

What conditions do you treat?

We specialize in post-concussion syndrome, vertigo and dizziness, balance disorders, chronic pain, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Mal de Debarquement, musculoskeletal pain, and performance optimization. If you have lingering symptoms that won't go away, we can likely help.

Is treatment painful?

No. Our treatments are pain-free, non-invasive, and non-pharmaceutical. We use gentle techniques including eye movement training, body rotations, coordination exercises, electrical stimulation, and chiropractic adjustments tailored to your comfort level.

What should I expect at my first visit?

Your first visit includes a comprehensive neurological evaluation where we assess your vestibular system, eye movements, balance, coordination, and proprioception. We'll discuss your health history, symptoms, and goals, then create a customized treatment plan. Most initial consultations take 60-90 minutes.

I would have thought that the neurology of joints was a well-studied topic since the earliest forms of scientific medicine and healthcare. It is surprising, then, to me, to see a paper on this topic proclaim its launching point in the relatively recent past.

About seventy years before this lecture, chiropractic established itself as a profession and with its main crux for healing based on the neurology of joints and the constellation of feedback and maintenance that they would provide.

About thirty years after this lecture was given, functional neurology as a paradigm began being taught. The neurology of joints is a key basis of manipulative therapy aimed at improving cortico-muscular coherence and brain integrity.

I would say that this is another example of how chiropractic therapy was ahead of its time concerning the mechanisms of healing a body profoundly with the simple tools of the patient's own body. Functional neurology assimilated the proceeding knowledge base and applied it with relative speed to the complimentary toolset of chiropractic adjustments.

"Our interest in the subject of articular neurology arises from realization that the neurology of joints, in spite of its obvious relevance to several branches of surgery, and to physical medicine generally, is a field of knowledge that has never been adequately explored."
