Functional Neurology
Functional Neurology is not a specific chiropractic technique, but a structured method of assessing how the nervous system is functioning as a whole.
Rather than focusing solely on the spine, this approach evaluates how different regions of the brain and body communicate — identifying areas that may be underperforming or not integrating efficiently.
This analysis allows us to make chiropractic care more precise and individualized.
The Science Behind the Art
Chiropractic has long been described as both an art and a science.
The “art” lies in how a doctor applies techniques and tailors care to the individual.
The “science” comes from understanding how the nervous system responds to stimulation and adjustment.
Functional Neurology bridges these two — using current neuroscience research to inform how and why specific adjustments and rehabilitative strategies are applied.
Understanding Neuroplasticity
The brain is capable of change throughout life — a concept known as neuroplasticity.
Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to adapt, reorganize, and form new connections in response to stimulation and experience.
Through specific adjustments and targeted neurologic exercises, we aim to provide meaningful input to the nervous system, encouraging improved communication and coordination between the brain and body.
Consistent reinforcement of these patterns supports long-term adaptation and resilience.
What This Means for Your Care
Both Dr. Gabrielle and Dr. Jackson incorporate principles of Functional Neurology into their evaluations and care plans.
Care may include:
-
Specific chiropractic adjustments
-
Targeted neurological rehabilitation exercises
-
Balance and coordination stimulation
-
Sensory integration strategies
This comprehensive approach allows us to better understand each patient’s unique neurological presentation and create care plans that are thoughtful, individualized, and rooted in function.
