As in medicine, the chiropractic profession has specialists who serve their community's patients, as well as provide expert evaluation and consultation to other health care practitioners. Chiropractic neurologists are chiropractors who have two years of post-doctoral training in the field of functional (non-pharmaceutical) neurology. Chiropractic neurologists and medical neurologists differ greatly in their methods of treatment. The medical neurologist will prescribe medications or other invasive treatment to help the patient. A chiropractic neurologist uses drug free and non-surgical treatment methods to help restore a more-normal function to the body. These methods focus on improving brain and nervous system health, nerve connections, nutritional deficiencies, and organ malfunctions, which makes life easier on all involved.

The treatments are based off of the teachings of the Carrick Institute of Neurology (www.carrickinstitute.org) and the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (www.acnb.org) and have helped millions of patients achieve a level of health never thought imaginable.

Our treatments are centered on stimulating the six senses: Balance, Sight, Sound, Smell, Touch, and occasionally Taste. In doing so it can help to "re-connect" the brain. Samples of the treatment offered at our clinic are:

• Balance and postural retraining
• Vestibular exercises and positioning maneuvers
• Eye movement and light therapy
• Motor planning, timing and sequencing
• Fine motor skills
• Non-verbal stimulation and response training
• Spatial awareness activities
• Coordinated breathing
• Taste and Sound protocols
• Lab work evaluation and proper recommendation of critical tests that may have been overseen
• Neurotransmitter evaluation
• Specific nutritional or supplemental protocol
• Treatments are coordinated with referring and attending physicians

The conditions in which patients have seen the most improvement in their symptoms are:

• Vertigo and balance disorders
• Nerve related problems (i.e. peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, carpal tunnel, disc herniations, etc.)
• Parkinson's disease and movement disorders
• Fibromyalgia
• Multiple sclerosis
• ADD/ADHD
• We have had some mild to moderate successes with Autism spectrum disorders

There are conditions in the brain and nervous system that do not respond to medical intervention, these are the patients that are usually referred in by their doctors or loved ones to our office. Our office does not offer a cure for diseases. However, we do everything in our knowledge and power to improve the quality of life of all patients. If you keep on doing what you've always done you will keep on getting the results that you always have gotten. Take a small step outside the box - you will be happy that you did!
