Functional Neurology is a treatment approach based on the principle of neuroplasticity. We analyze and incorporate therapy based on brain function, rather than structure alone. Being able to assess different brain circuits/pathways, comparing different lobes of the brain (ex: frontal lobe vs parietal lobe), as well as comparing brain sides (left vs right frontal lobe), we can localize and utilize treatment for specific areas of the brain. We believe this allows for quicker healing and recovery times in many cases.

At Great Lakes Functional Neurology, we believe in a natural, holistic approach to healing the brain. We understand that evaluating severity and choosing the correct treatment is key to recovery. We utilize many innovative technologies and exercises to promote neuroplasticity and brain healing. Find out more at www.greatlakesneurology.com

Copper has many important functions in our body. Some processes that copper is involved in include transporting iron, supporting immunity, supporting cardiovascular exercise, improve balance and stability, deceasing uric acid, and helping circulation.

Some possible symptoms of a copper deficiency include weak joints, weak muscles, varicose veins, loose skin, and hyperlordosis (swayback). Copper deficiencies can be caused by lack of copper in the soil, gastric bypass surgery, and consuming too much alcohol and/or sugar.

Some foods rich in copper include shellfish, oysters, sesame seeds, and shiitake mushrooms.

Collagen is an abundant protein in our bodies, making up about 35% of all protein in our body. Collagen is a connective tissue protein and is found in many different parts of your body, including cartilage, tendons, ligaments, bones, skin, blood vessels, gut, vertebral discs, and more!

An important nutrient that boosts collagen in our bodies is copper. Copper has a direct role in producing and maintaining collagen. Copper is a trace mineral that's needed in a very small amount, but it's necessary for the enzymes that allow proteins to form.

Dysautonomia and POTS symptoms can be difficult to diagnose, and even more difficult to treat. Most often the treatment approach to POTS and dysautonomia is targeted at other parts of the body rather than the nervous system. It can be difficult to figure out what’s the best course of treatment to follow — we have a unique approach that is focused on neurological stability!

Through current research, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is emerging as a potential therapy to help post-COVID related neurological symptoms. Here are two excerpts that provide some insight into how hyperbaric treatment could be effective:

According to Dr. Kerry Thibodeaux at Opelousas General Hospital in Los Angeles, USA – “Simply stated, hyperbaric treatments could be an effective way to treat COVID-19 patients suffering from severe respiratory distress. When weighing the risks to the patient and the potential for intubation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy was determined to be a far better option for those meeting criteria”.

A study from AAMHEI (The Argentine Association of Hyperbaric Medicine and Research) has concluded that: “HBOT could cooperate in the treatment and support of the COVID-19 infected patient, through its strong anti-inflammatory activity, modulation of the immune system and potential antiviral action, all typical of the hyperoxia generated with HBOT treatment.”
