Chiropractic Neurology is a science-based health care specialty that focuses on optimizing the function of the nervous system using conservative methods. Subtle changes in the function of the nervous system will affect things such as muscle tone, flexibility, balance & coordination and may result in chronic pain, headaches and other symptoms. In some cases, these changes may lead to attention deficits, decline in academic performance and cognitive processing disorders. This new appreciation for the nervous system has influenced diagnosis and treatment from practitioners as diverse as optometry, occupational therapy, physical therapy and chiropractic. While the chiropractic profession has traditionally been rooted in respect for the nervous system, we are now better equipped to evaluate the functional state of your nervous system and target specific areas of dysfunction. Many people assume that if they don't have a classical nervous system disorder (Alzheimer, Parkinson's), then their nervous system is healthy. This is not always the case. Chiropractic neurology is a safe and effective way to evaluate and treat the functional state of your nervous system and the symptoms that may result.
