Chiropractic neurology is brain-based chiropractic.
 Chiropractic
neurology combines the best of neurological science and
chiropractic. It is well accepted that chiropractic
adjustments of the spine affect the function of the
nervous system. Since the 1990’s, research continues to
explain the complexity of the nervous system and the
effects of manipulation and other non-drug related
therapies.
Throughout
life the brain is constantly changing as a consequence
of our experiences, physical activity, and environment.
Most people develop one part of the brain more so than
another. This is why some people are more artistic
(right brain) than analytical (left brain) and visa
versa. When the processing of neurological signals
decreases to a critical level, brain asymmetry develops
decreasing human potential leading to dysfunction and
disease. Sometimes this faulty processing can cause
internal dysfunction that you were not aware was a
neurological problem associated with the brain and
nervous system.
 
State of
the art equipment is used to gauge the performance of a
patient's nervous system.
Dr.
Zembroski tests the nervous system of a patient by
measuring its reaction to visual stimulation.
Chiropractic neurologists are specialists in evaluating
the function of the brain and nervous system. Once the
deficit has been diagnosed, a treatment protocol is
implemented to increase the potential of the brain and
correct the brain asymmetry.
Videonystagmography involves a highly specialized
infrared camera system that records the movements of the
eyes which aids in the discovery of the brain asymmetry.
Because the eyes are a reflection of brain function,
information provided by these tests aids in the
discovery of the brain asymmetry.
 It
is the treatment
that separates chiropractic
neurology from medical neurology.
While medical neurologists utilize synthetic drugs to
affect the system, the chiropractic neurologist may
utilize treatment involving physical modalities that are
non-invasive and non-surgical. Chiropractic adjustments
of the spine and skeleton, cognitive exercises, visual
and auditory stimulation, warm water irrigation to the
inner ear, computerized brain timing exercises, spinning
and balance exercises, eye tracking exercises, and eye
light therapy are just a few of the therapies utilized
by the chiropractic neurologist to make changes to the
nervous system.
Opthalmoscopic evaluations are performed to assess
specific areas of the nervous system.
Most
people associate chiropractic with back and neck pain.
However, the recent advances in brain research and
imaging strongly support the new specialty of
chiropractic neurology. This advanced branch of
chiropractic offers new hope for those who have not
found relief from conventional treatment. On-going
education and advanced training allows Dr. Zembroski to
assess and provide treatments for complex disorders
involving the nervous system.
Blood
pressure is taken on both sides of the body to compare
the function of one side of the brain to the other.
Pulse
Oximetry measures oxygen in the blood and the heart
rate. The values obtained give us information on
the function of the autonomic nervous system.
