Lyme disease is often called the great imitator. It mimics over 300,000 diseases. Functional neurology is a great compliment to those dealing with Lyme disease or any chronic illness. At Brain & Spine Wellness Center, we customize a brain rehabilitation program for you to improve neurological symptoms. Take it from one of our patients, , "I have been dealing with Lyme disease for over 20 years and I have received drastic results within only a few weeks of starting my program. I feel this clinic is offering me the missing link I have needed in my recovery."

We all know it is important to get our annual check up, lab work, and screening tests complete. However, the brain is often neglected in routine work ups unless there is a grave problem. At Brain & Spine Wellness Center, our clinicians perform a detailed comprehensive neurological examination to determine if your brain function is performing at its highest level. If there are some areas of weakness, neurological rehabilitation will be recommended to improve neuroplasticity and improve your function. Please share if someone you care about has been noticing challenges with memory, losing their train of thought, or balance issues.

Damaged intervertebral discs seldom heal because they remain under constant pressure, even while a person is at rest. SpineMED® Decompression is designed to reduce pressure inside the discs by gently separating or distracting the injured spinal segments.

Under distraction, pressure on the disc is relieved; allowing fluids, nutrients and oxygen to flow back into disc. This nutrient exchange helps the body’s natural rebuilding process and can accelerate the repair and eventually heal damaged spinal discs.

In addition, a reduction of intradiscal pressures may help draw the nucleus of a bulging or herniated disc back into the center, thereby relieving pressure on a compressed nerve root—alleviating pain, tingling, and/or numbness.

While balance problems themselves are not life-threatening, they can lead to increased risks of falling and sustaining fall-related injuries. The risk of falling also increases in patients over 40 years old or those who suffer from other neurological deficits and chronic medical problems.

Fortunately, vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is a modality that can help improve your balance! For those whose balance issues are due to a vestibular deficit, chiropractic neurologists or functional neurologists use VR to recalibrate the vestibular system. This may include various forms of balance stability work, complex patterned movements of the extremities, positional maneuvers, and precise head/eye tracking movements.

For those suffering with RLS, there is hope!

Katherine Afzal, DC, DACNB, FABBIR performs a detailed neurological examination to determine which neurological pathways are not regulating the basal ganglia appropriately. She will develop a customized treatment plan to target your weaknesses and improve your function.

Most might assume that surgery is their only option. However, there are many non-invasive tools that can help you overcome your symptoms. By incorporating a unique series of therapies and methods, we can address your condition and return you to normal daily activities. A functional neurologist or chiropractic neurologist is skilled in examining you to determine if your brain is also involved in increasing muscle tone, think chronic tight wrist flexor muscles. Treatments might include neurological rehabilitation to improve muscle tone, spinal decompression, adjustments to correct the biomechanics of your neck, shoulder, elbow and wrist, class IV laser therapy, dry needling, and finally, the Stimpod NMS460 which is an electromagnetic therapy that restores intra-neural communication pathways and natural nerve functionality.

Functional Neurology is the practice of neurology without the use of drugs or surgery. It is the understanding of how the nervous system (think brain, spinal cord, nerves) works and how the body can be assessed in real time to determine if there are weaknesses in relays from the brain to the body. This communication is made up of very complex feedback systems and reflexes. A Functional Neurologist or Chiropractic Neurologist is trained to determine if there are deficits in these pathways. Once identified, he or she will create customized exercises and tasks to strengthen these deficits. Just like strengthening weak muscles after a fracture, you can create changes in weak pathways in the brain. This is called neuroplasticity.

A Functional Neurology assessment includes a comprehensive neurological examination that includes but is not limited to the following: cranial nerves, oculomotor system, visual and vestibular reflexes, autonomic nervous system, and balance assessments called computerized posturography. Functional Neurology is based on the understanding of how your body works and therefore your rehabilitation will be uniquely designed for you. Brain rehabilitation can include but is not limited to customized eye tracking programs, cerebellar neuro-feedback, vestibular rehabilitation, tinted lenses, hand-eye coordination and reaction time therapies.
