Functional Neurology, also known as Chiropractic Neurology, refers to a collection of scientifically supported treatment methods designed to address various neurological issues.
This progressive field focuses on enhancing the performance of the brain and improving overall neurological function. In contrast to conventional neurology—which primarily centers on diagnosing and managing specific medical conditions—functional neurology adopts a more integrative perspective. It looks at how different components of the nervous system work together and seeks to correct dysfunctions that may impact a person’s overall health.
To optimize neurologic function in patients, Sydney Neuro & Integrative health ensures that patients are provided the right dose of stimulation, whether it be through receptor based methods, such as auditory, visual, vestibular, sensory or proprioceptive stimulation, enough substrate (oxygen delivery and signalling, normal lung ventilation to perfusion, appropriate insulin and cell signalling), minimisation ox oxidative stress, inflammation and good gut-brain-immune coherence.
Practitioners in this field often employ non-invasive, drug-free techniques aimed at stimulating neuroplasticity, the brain’s inherent ability to adapt, reorganize, and heal itself. These methods support the body’s natural ability to recover and regain function.
At Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health we provide specialized care focused on brain health and neurological rehabilitation. Our clinic addresses a wide array of conditions, including traumatic brain injuries like concussions and neurodevelopmental challenges. We emphasize personalized treatment plans, tailoring our care to meet each individual’s unique neurological needs.
Functional neurology applies rehabilitation techniques that target specific areas of the nervous system, with the goal of influencing the activity of neural pathways and cellular connections.
Stimulating certain brain regions affects various neurotransmitter networks and encourages the development of new neural pathways. It also promotes the formation of new neurons and blood vessels within the brain and spinal cord.
The clinicians & Sydney Neuro & Integrative Health design highly targeted therapy protocols, ensuring each patient receives care that delivers the most effective results possible.
