Chiropractic neurologists specialize in treatments for the nervous system, spine, and brain. Chiropractic neurologists are chiropractors that have pursued the required post-graduate degrees and certifications needed to serve patients suffering from a wide range of neurological conditions. Their specialized expertise allows them to offer neurological insight and treatment options, much like a medical neurologist would do. However, unlike medical neurologists who may prescribe drugs, injections, or surgery, chiropractor neurologists utilize an extensive range of natural, non-invasive, and effective therapies and modalities to repair and restore a patient’s health.
When To Consult With A Chiropractic Neurologist
Chiropractic neurologists can (and often do) treat many of the common conditions seen by general chiropractors, such as sports accidents, car crashes, falls, and general injuries. Additionally, these neurological specialists can also help patients suffering from:
- Vestibular disorders
- Chronic pain
- Migraines
- Balance and movement disorders
- Nerve and spinal cord injuries
- Dystonia
- Radiculopathy
- Head injuries
- Post-stroke rehabilitation
Know The Advantages Of Chiropractic Neurology
Many people assume that a medical neurologist is their only course of action when treating a neurological condition – this isn’t always the case. Sometimes disorders that impact brain, spine, and nervous system resist aggressive and invasive procedures such as medications and surgical procedures. Additionally, drugs, injections, and surgery carry several significant health risks, adverse side effects, and serious complications.
Chiropractic neurology offers a natural, safe, alternative to traditional medical neurology therapies. Your chosen chiropractor will partner with you and your physician to understand your specific affliction and physiological needs. Beyond an initial consultation and physical exam, a chiropractic neurologist may also use several other methods such as MRIs, X-rays, ultrasounds, and blood work to create a customized treatment approach.
Chiropractic Neurology Treatments
Your practitioner may focus on spinal alignments, strengthening and stretching, and balance activities to help you build coordination and resilience. Other treatment methodologies may include:
- Eye exercises
- Sensory conditioning
- Breathing practices
- Oxygenation therapies
Throughout your treatment, your chiropractic neurologist will carefully assess subtle nervous system changes to adjust care as needed for optimized treatment results.
