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.
