Functional Neurology

Functional neurology is a type of treatment that focuses on various neurological disorders. It utilizes cognitive exercises, eye exercises, and balancing activities, among others, to help the brain connect with the central nervous system and leverage the brain's ability to rewire itself in response to stimuli. At Delmarva Chiropractic P.C. in Salisbury, our team of neurological chiropractors is trained in functional neurology to assist you in regaining your ability to use your body and enjoy a life free from neurological deficits.

Why Functional Neurology?

Damage to the brain can lead to neurological deficits that make it challenging for you to perform activities you once did. Causes can range from a stroke to a head injury, resulting in diminished function. This means the signals you send to your body for a motion may not reach their destination. Issues after a brain injury can include loss of coordination or balance, speech problems, and vision issues.

Functional neurology also aims to treat neurodivergence, utilizing similar treatments as those employed for brain injuries. The goal is to stimulate neurogenesis, the creation and routing of new neural pathways around ones that have died or are failing to make connections.

The brain doesn't necessarily relearn how to perform a function because it's already capable of executing the action. Instead, it uses cognitive exercise routines that neurological chiropractors guide you through to reconnect with the part of the body experiencing a deficit.

How Functional Neurology Works

Functional neurology involves subjecting the mind and body to a series of exercises known to engage specific functions. For instance, eye exercises help re-establish the connection from the eye to the visual cortex, while balancing activities aid the brain in reconnecting with the body and regaining stability. Over time, the brain develops new nerves and pathways that become permanent. Signals for a particular movement or cognition will consistently travel through these new pathways, ensuring that the function remains with you for the rest of your life.
