What is Functional Chiropractic Neurology?



I am asked all the time about Functional Chiropractic Neurology. What is it? How does it work ? What does it treat?

A Chiropractic Neurologist offers brain-based chiropractic.

A Chiropractic Neurologist is a highly trained & qualified neurological specialist within the chiropractic field. Doctors complete a rigorous 3-year diploma program beyond chiropractic college. They look for subtle changes in specific parts of the nervous system. A variety of highly effective natural treatment options are available to improve the health of these dysfunctional regions. Common conditions helped include: Head injuries, ADHD, chronic pain, vertigo, dystonias/movement disorders, disc herniations, & peripheral nerve entrapments.

Chiropractic Neurologists utilize a thorough neurologically based physical exam performed with a keen eye for subtle areas of poor function. The obvious, or hard signs, as well as the subtle, or soft signs, reveal a pattern of dysfunction that will help to understand the patient’s unique problem in very specific terms. Intervention is then customized to the unique needs of the patient and strives to normalize function in the nervous system.

  1. A new study found that young children taking a supplement containing healthy bacteria (probiotics) and fibers that support their growth (prebiotics) got sick less often.. A new study, published in Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, found that young children taking a supplement containing strains of healthy bacteria (probiotics) and fibers that support their growth (prebiotics) got sick less often than children who were not taking the supplement.


    “This study suggests that a three-month supplementation with this [probiotic and prebiotic] preparation can decrease the risk of occurrence of common infectious diseases in children and limits the risk of school day loss,” the study’s authors said.
    The findings support the notion that promoting the growth of healthy gut bacteria has beneficial effects beyond the gastrointestinal tract. “It is likely that probiotics are effective because they exert their effects on numerous cell types involved in the innate and adaptive immune responses,” the researchers speculated.
