Functional Neurology
A New Approach to Lasting Pain Relief
Are you frustrated by treatments that only address symptoms without offering lasting relief? At our clinic, we leverage functional neurology to address the root causes of chronic pain, neuropathy, nerve pain, vertigo, and more. Through innovative, brain-based treatments, we help patients like you find real, long-lasting healing.
Our approach to chronic pain management goes beyond conventional methods. We use a specialized multi-point neurological exam to pinpoint the exact neurological factors that may be contributing to your pain, leading to a customized, brain-based treatment plan.
The Comprehensive Neurological Exam: A Deeper Look at What’s Causing Your Pain
Our comprehensive neurological exam is an in-depth evaluation designed to assess the precise areas of the brain and nervous system that may be contributing to your pain and dysfunction. Unlike standard physical exams, our assessment goes beyond surface symptoms to examine how each brain area impacts your overall health, pain perception, and functional capabilities.
Here’s a breakdown of what we assess and why it matters in the functional neurology model:
Why Functional Neurology is Essential for Pain Relief
Our practice is based on leading-edge research in clinical neuroscience that shows how the brain plays a central role in chronic pain perception. Unlike traditional providers, we focus on understanding how central sensitization in the brain and nervous system may be amplifying your pain.
- Addressing the Root Cause: Pain can stem from more than tissue damage. Our approach tackles central and peripheral sensitization, helping to “rewire” pain responses through targeted brain-based therapies.
- Using Neuroplasticity for Healing: Through functional neurology, we tap into the brain’s ability to rewire itself, allowing you to “unlearn” chronic pain patterns and retrain your nervous system for relief.
- Comprehensive Assessments: Our multi-point neurological exam provides insights that standard evaluations miss, ensuring we address every contributing factor to your pain.
How Our Approach Differentiates Us from Conventional Care
Our functional neurology model allows us to take a holistic, personalized look at your pain and how it’s affecting your entire nervous system. Traditional providers may overlook:
- The Role of Neuroplasticity: Functional neurology taps into your brain’s capacity to change and adapt, allowing it to rewire away from chronic pain.
- Pain Without Physical Injury: Pain can be due to abnormal brain activity, even without tissue damage. Understanding this can open up treatment options beyond physical therapy or medication alone.
- The Importance of Sensory-Motor Coupling: Pain can arise from poor communication between your brain and body. By addressing motor and sensory integration, we help reduce tension and promote coordinated, pain-free movement.
Conditions We Treat with Functional Neurology
- Neuropathy and Nerve Pain: Relieve pain by addressing dysfunctional nerve pathways that may be over-sensitized.
- Chronic Neck and Back Pain: Get relief from persistent pain that standard treatments have failed to address.
- Vertigo and Balance Issues: Regain your stability and confidence with therapies designed to restore your vestibular system’s function.
- Post-Concussion Syndrome
