Functional Neurology
Functional neurology is a distinct area of healthcare dedicated to enhancing the performance of your nervous system. While it includes some of the same training as traditional neurology, its treatment methods differ. Rather than using medications or surgery like conventional neurologists, functional neurology practitioners employ natural and non-invasive techniques to manage nervous system issues.
Think of your body as a complex orchestra, with your nervous system as the conductor, guiding and coordinating the actions of all the different instruments—organs, muscles, and glands—to create a harmonious state of health.
Functional neurology highlights the critical role of clear communication within this intricate network.
For instance, imagine driving: your eyes see a red light (information received), your brain processes this information and decides to stop the car (information processing), then instructs your foot to move from the gas pedal to the brake (instructions sent).
When any part of this communication pathway within the nervous system is disrupted, it can cause various health issues. Functional neurology seeks to identify and correct these disruptions to enhance nervous system function and overall health.
Optimizing Your Nervous System

Unlocking the Benefits of Functional Neurology: Addressing the Underlying Causes
Functional neurology offers a holistic approach to addressing a range of health concerns, providing potential benefits such as:
-
Enhanced Physical Function: By optimizing nervous system communication, functional neurology can improve coordination, balance, and motor skills. This is particularly beneficial for conditions like vertigo, dizziness, and movement disorders.
-
Cognitive Enhancement: The nervous system significantly impacts memory, focus, and learning. Functional neurology may enhance cognitive function for individuals dealing with learning disabilities, ADHD, or age-related cognitive decline.
-
Pain Management: Chronic pain conditions, such as headaches and migraines, often stem from nervous system irregularities. Functional neurology identifies and treats these underlying causes, potentially offering natural relief from pain.
-
Overall Health Improvement: Given its influence on all bodily functions, optimizing nervous system function through functional neurology can boost energy levels, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall well-being.
