Chiropractic neurology utilizes evaluations and
treatments that are taught in both chiropractic and
medical schools. These evaluations are purely scientific
investigations into human physiology.
Examples of these tests
include vestibuloocular tests, optokinetic tests,
pursuit and saccade testing, caloric testing,
computerized blind spot evaluation, computerized timing
analysis, radiography, postural analysis, vestibular and
cerebellar testing, and autonomic testing. In addition,
traditional clinical neurological examinations are used,
including muscle testing, heart and lung screening,
reflexes, blood pressure, cranial and peripheral nerve
testing, and sensory and motor evaluations.
 Our
state-of-the-art equipment allows us to quickly locate
the source of your health problem. Advanced diagnostic
tools help us locate malfunction in the nervous system
with little guess work.
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.
Muscle
testing is a great window of observation into the
function of the nervous system. If there is a
dysfunction in the nervous system, we can see this
through the strength of the muscles.
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.

A Neurophysical examination assesses and compares
certain functions from one side of the body to another.
Vestibular ocular tests are specific for cerebellum and
the complex control of balance.
Optokinetic testing provides an assessment of multiple
systems at once including the cortex and cerebellum.
Laser
aligned spinographs are taken to locate subluxations and
spinal misalignments that interfere with the function of
the nervous system. The use of X-Rays also help us to
rule out pathology of bone, fractures, infections, and
arthritic or degenerative problems in the spine as well. |
