Functional Neurology

What is Chiropractic Neurology?

Chiropractic Neurology is specialist level training offered to practitioners that have completed their Masters of Chiropractic. It involves 300-400 hours of extra tuition in funtional neurology, allowing diagnosis and treatment of your condition. As you undergo therapy, your symptoms gently improve and well being is restored. Chiropractic neurology lays down the foundation of balance between the left and right sides of the brain, allowing for optimal function regardless of whether you’re an athlete, or a child taking the first steps into school. The routines are suitable for everyone.

American Chiropractic Neurology Board (ACNB)

The ACNB is the only specialty certificate agency for the Chiropractic Profession that is fully accredited by the NCCA (National Commission for Certified Agencies). NCCA is the accreditation body of the National Organisation for Competency Assurance (NOCA) and their standards exceed the requirements set forth by the American Psychological Association and U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Established in 1977, NOCA is the authority in certification and NCCA the authority in accreditation, both ensuring excellency in competency assessment.

Neurostimulation

Chiropractic neurology allows the functional neurological assessment of your condition, screening the different parts of the brain to see what areas are working too hard, and what areas are not working enough. It has been used to correct balance disorders, vertigo, clumsiness, speech and reading problems, facial tics, tremors, anxiety, sleep disorders, constipation, bedwetting in children, and dysphagia, just to name a few.

Effectiveness of Treatment

Gentle neurostimulation techniques are applied by you ( for up to 10 minutes per day ) that help improve brain and body function. These techniques range from massaging one side of the body for a few minutes, through to various activities including balancing, walking on a straight line, doing work with a metronome to get timing better, tongue and eye exercises, breathing, and correction of posture just to name a few. By attending treatment and following through with these home exercises, your symptoms gently improve and wellbeing is restored. Please refer to the testimonials on this site.
