| Chiropractic Neurology |
For patients:
It is well established that the brain is the master
organ of the body. It has some control over
everything that goes on in the body. Sometimes
there are areas of the brain that are not functioning
well enough to appropriately regulate our body. This
can lead to many different health problems
throughout the body.
A chiropractic neurologist will assess the level of
function of certain areas of your brain and correlate
them with the level of function of other areas in your
body in order to find the weakest link. A treatment
program will be prescribed to improve function in
that weakened area of the brain which will not
exceed the capabilities of that person's brain to
adapt. If an area has been functioning poorly for
some time, it becomes unhealthy. If the treatment
plan is too rigorous, it may cause damage to an
already weak area. It would be similar to asking a
normally sedentary person to go out and run a
marathon. There would most likely be damage. In
order to accomplish our goals of improving function
in certain areas of brain, specific exercises and
procedures will be customized for each client.
A chiropractic neurologist may use adjustments,
light, movement, sound, smell, cognitive exercises,
electrical modalities, traction, nutritional
supplements, stress relief techniques, etc in order to
properly activate certain area of your nervous system
or brain in order to improve function in that area and
promote optimal health.

For Professionals:
The central integrative state of any pool of neurons
depends on the integrity and frequency of firing of
any and all pre-synaptic pools of neurons. If
enough stimuli is summated (and necessary
substrate is available), the cell will undergo a
cellular immediate early gene response. This will
induce transcription to regenerate intracellular
structures. This holds great implications on the
function and survivability of that pool of neurons. If
it is not activated in an appropriate manner, the cell
will undergo loss the internal machinery and
architecture of the cell (loss of nissel substance,
tubulin, mitochondria, etc.). The cell will swell and
eventually lyse and die (sodium-potassium pumps
fail as ATP is not available due to loss of
mitochondria production). There is no regeneration
of dead neurons.
Different pools of neurons within our neurvous
system can be evaluated in order to asses integrity
and viability. If an area undergoes trans neural
degeneration and climbs closer to sodium
equilibrium potentials, the task carried out by that
population of neurons will be aberrant. A
chiropractic neurologist asses these aberrancies
and formulate treatment parameters to increase
the protein replication in an area that has suffered
the greatest loss. Since the nervous system is a
closed system, an area of disorder may cause
concomitant changes to neural structures in other
areas.
A chiropractic neurologist may use receptor based
therapies that have therapeutic effects locally and
centrally. These treatment parameter usually fall
into either feedback, feed forward or efferent copy
mechanisms. Nutritional support may also be
utilized in order to provide necessary substrate for
neural structure, biochemical processes and
neural protection.
