Details

Functional neurology is a cutting-edge, new field of health care that utilizes the latest research in neuroscience and applies it to clinical practice. Simply put, vestibular problems will change firing patterns of the peripheral and central nerual pathways in the nervous system which will create imbalances in function and will manifest as mild to severe symptoms. Previous neurological imbalances, dietary problems, and lifestyle choices all can compound the dysfunction someone will experience when dealing with a vestibular problem. It is functional neurologists' job to identify the pathology, identify these  prior imbalances, identify the these co-existing issues, and to design individualized plans to address each person's unique problem. Brain-based therapies, individualized vestibular rehabilitation, electrical stimulation, oculomotor re-training, and manual therapies are utilized to heal the vestibular system by creating new neural networks in the brain in order to balance out the dysfunction.
