Our Unique Neurometabolic Approach Allows Us To Get The Solutions You Want And Need.

The doctors at our office offer a revolutionary and research-based approach with our patients that is unlike any other you've experienced…and it works!

​We combine a proven system of Functional Neurology and  Functional Medicine for our treatment protocols. The end product is a patient-specific, comprehensive solution that doesn't rely on the use of drugs or surgery.

Functional Blood Chemistry Evaluations

Blood chemistry evaluation is a very effective tool for the doctors at our office to screen and identify imbalances in body metabolism. It serves as an inexpensive way to assess major bodily functions. We are able to provide our patients with sound recommendations, screen for health issues, and monitor changes as necessary.

There are two main types of ranges in the field of blood chemistry analysis: a pathological range and a functional range. The pathological range is used to diagnose disease; the functional range is used to assess risk for disease before disease develops. The references that are provided with laboratory test results are referred to as “the pathological range”, because if the results are out of range, it indicates potential for pathology or disease. Looking at blood results from a functional range allows us to discover patterns of dysfunction and treat them before they become a serious problem. These include cholesterol/triglycerides, Insulin Resistance/Metabolic Syndrome/Syndrome X/Pre-diabetes, thyroid function, inflammation, Methylation, Hypoglycemia, digestive issues, Iron deficiency, Gall Bladder dysfunction, Kidney function, Immune function, Anemias, Infections, etc.

Healthy people have blood chemistry findings that fall within a fairly narrow range. Significant deviations from the optimum range may indicate a variety of poor health conditions.

We encourage all of our patients to undergo a functional blood chemistry evaluation so that:
  • We can determine which nutritional products are specific for your individual, personalized health needs.
  • We can design and implement a nutritional program to restore your body to its natural, healthy state.
  • We can provide early detection of potentially life-threatening health conditions.
  • We can keep you from spending money on nutritional products that you do not need.

We do not subscribe to one-size-fits-all types of plans for our patients. ​

Within our unique approach, we utilize the following diagnostic equipment and rehab techniques:
​
  • Video Nystagmography
  • Comprehensive Neuro-orthopedic Examination
  • Peripheral Neuropathy Electromedical Therapy
  • Interactive Metronome®
  • Computerized Dynamic Posturography Evaluation
  • Neuroendocrine Immune Assessments
  • Male/Female Hormonal Assessments
  • Functional Blood Chemistry Evaluations
  • Neuro-Immunological Testing
  • Spinal Decompression

Neuroendocrine Immune Assessment

The ability of the brain to control the endocrine system is evaluated in depth by our office. Assessment of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland are at times necessary and all of the metabolic factors that can disrupt it's control over the entire endocrine system. We will evaluate the regulation of the HPA Axis (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis) HPT Axis (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis) and the HPG Axis (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis) and how they each may be affecting your thyroid, pancreas, blood sugar levels, liver health, adrenal gland health, sleep/wake cycles, stress levels, hormone regulation, etc.
​

Neuro-Immunological Testing

Since our office specializes in dealing with chronic, unresolved neurological and painful health conditions we take every measure to find the root cause of your condition. At times, the immune system is a main culprit into the reason why you're continually sick. Neuro-immunological testing is used to discover why you may be still suffering from an old illness or why you seem to always be sick and have neurological symptoms that don't correlate to imaging like an MRI or CT scan. We look into the relationship between antibodies and neurological structure and their function as well as the importance of how your brain can impact normal immune function.

Male/Female Hormonal Assessment

Through the laboratory measurement, we have the capability to evaluate male and female hormonal function. This measurement gives us a comprehensive picture of your menstrual irregularities, fertility challenges, suppressed libido, athletic performance problems, depression, etc.

Our Unique Evaluation and Rehab Tools

Video Nystagmography (VNG)

Video Nystagmography (VNG) is our tool of choice to identify abnormalities within the VESTIBULAR and OCULARMOTOR systems. With this specialty piece of equipment we can objectively document abnormal eye movements caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI), Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Vestibular Neuronitis, Internuclea Opthalmoplegia, and many other peripheral vestibular and central neurological pathologies.

VNG allows our office to evaluate your brain and nervous system through the oculomotor system by utilizing tests and specific eye movements such as: Nystagmus, positional and Dix-Hallpike, Caloric tests, Saccade, Sinusoidal Pursuit, and Optokinetic tests.  

A breakdown or weakness in any or all of these tests can key the doctors at our office in to the specific location of brain weakness or lesion and direct them to a specific rehabilitation program just for you.

Dynavision D2 ®

Discover Dynavision, the light-training reaction device, developed to train sensory motor integration through the visual system. The increased ability to receive visual stimuli, mentally process this information, then react to it with a motor response, has vast implications for human performance. 

Designed for high performance athletics training, it was soon discovered as an incredible evaluation tool for head-injuries, concussions and visual field-deficits.  This tool not only is limited to athletes and head injuries, but provides an effective therapy for those struggling with dementia/Alzheimer's, Stroke rehab, ADD/ADHD, Parkinson's, and many other neurodegenerative health conditions.

Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CAPS®)

Posturography in general is a non-invasive specialized clinical assessment technique used to quantify how well a person is able to control posture and balance. The control of posture and balance, i.e. postural control, necessitates a complex interaction of sensory, motor and central nervous system processes.

This tool in our office is used not only in pathological (abnormal) conditions (particularly in the diagnosis of balance disorders, brain injuries and in physical therapy and postural re-education); it is also used in normal healthy conditions such as in physical education and sports training.

Interactive Metronome ®

This is a cutting-edge neurological assessment and treatment tool that improves your underlying motor planning and sequencing ability. Clinical studies have shown that improving these fundamental areas lead to significant gains in a wide range of cognitive and physical challenges including attention, motor skills and coordination.

IM's game-like auditory-visual platform engages the patient and provides constant feedback at the millisecond level to promote synchronized timing in the brain.  Exercises can be customized and involve a hierarchy of increasingly complex and precisely timed motor movements intertwined with gradually higher & faster cognitive processing, attention and decision-making. It is the only neuro-motor therapy tool that can be used successfully with all patients across the therapy spectrum, even those that require total hands-on assistance due to cognitive and/or physical impairments and those that are very young or elderly.
