Functional Neurology
What is Functional Neurology?
Functional Neurology is an approach to healthcare that focuses on the function of the nervous system rather than just its physical structure.
While traditional neurology often looks for "hard" lesions—like tumors, strokes, or physical tears—Functional Neurology looks for "soft" signs: areas where the brain and nerves are still intact but aren't communicating efficiently or are out of balance.
Whether you are suffering from a complex neurological condition and want to heal or get back to health, or if you are just looking to better yourself and improve the function of your brain to excel, and everything in between, we can help.
How Does It Work?
Assessment: The practitioner uses tests (like eye-tracking, balance, and reflexes) to find which parts of the brain are weak.
Stimulation: They use targeted sensory inputs—such as specific light patterns, sounds, or physical movements—to "re-boot" those weak areas.
Repetition: By repeatedly stimulating these pathways, the brain builds stronger connections, improving its overall efficiency and reducing symptoms like dizziness, brain fog, or chronic pain.
The benefits of Functional Neurology
Improves Brain Function: Enhances focus, memory, and mental clarity by strengthening neural connections.
Enhances Balance and Coordination: Supports better posture, movement, and spatial awareness.
Supports Neurological Recovery: Aids rehabilitation after concussion, brain injury, or stroke.
Non-Invasive and Personalized: Drug-free, customized care tailored to individual brain needs.
Frequently Ask Questions
-
Yes. Functional Neurology is non-invasive and drug-free. Treatments are carefully customized and progressed gradually to ensure safety and comfort.
-
Functional Neurology does not hurt. Because the treatments are non-invasive and sensory-based, they don't involve the pain associated with surgery, needles,
-
Functional Neurology Treatment length varies based on the individual’s condition and goals. Some people notice improvements within a few sessions, while others may require several weeks or months of consistent therapy.
-
Functional Neurology is primarily used to treat functional disorders—conditions where the nervous system is physically intact (no tumors or major lesions) but is not communicating or "firing" correctly.
-
Functional Neurology is often considered a wellness or elective treatment and is not typically covered by insurance. We can provide a receipt for possible reimbursement, depending on your plan.
