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.
