Functional Neurology

Schedule An Appointment

Functional Neurology, sometimes referred to as Chiropractic Neurology, is an evidence-based discipline focused on optimizing brain function and nervous system performance through non-invasive, drug-free therapies. Rather than treating isolated symptoms or diagnoses alone, functional neurology evaluates how different regions of the nervous system communicate and regulate one another, then applies targeted therapies to restore balance and function.

At Alpha & Omega Integrative Wellness, our Functional Neurology services are delivered through the Neurologic Wellness Institute, a comprehensive brain-health and neurological rehabilitation program designed around neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt, rewire, and recover.

What Is Functional Neurology?

Functional Neurology uses neurologically based rehabilitation strategies to stimulate specific regions and pathways of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. These carefully prescribed inputs influence:
  • Key feature or benefit of this service
  • Neurotransmitter systems
  • Neural connectivity and signaling
  • Blood flow and metabolic activity
  • Neuroplastic changes within the brain and spinal cord
By activating underperforming or imbalanced neural networks, functional neurology supports the brain’s natural ability to create new connections, improve regulation, and enhance recovery environments. Unlike traditional neurology—which often focuses on diagnosis and medication—functional neurology emphasizes functional improvement, adaptability, and individualized rehabilitation.

A Patient-Centered, Data-Driven Approach

Care at the Neurologic Wellness Institute begins with a comprehensive, in-depth evaluation of your nervous system. This includes:
  • A detailed health and neurological history
  • A 3-hour initial neurological evaluation
  • Advanced diagnostic and assessment tools
  • Analysis of brain pathways, reflexes, balance, cognition, and motor control
This data allows our doctors to map neurological imbalances and design a highly personalized care plan tailored to your unique neurological profile.

Conditions & Systems We Commonly Support

Our Functional Neurology program supports patients with a wide range of neurological and neuro-immune challenges, including:
  • Concussion and post-concussion syndrome
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Functional neurological disorder (FND)
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Vertigo, dizziness, and balance disorders
  • Migraines and chronic headaches
  • Brain fog, cognitive decline, and fatigue
  • Neurodevelopmental challenges
Important Note: Functional neurology does not “cure” neurological disease. Care is focused on supporting neurological function, regulation, and recovery.

Key Services in Our Functional Neurology Program


Neurofeedback Therapy


Neurofeedback allows patients to observe and regulate brain activity in real time. This therapy is used to:


  1. Improve focus and cognitive performance
  2. Reduce anxiety and stress responses
  3. Support recovery from concussions and brain injuries
  4. Enhance emotional and neurological regulation


Cognitive & Physical Neurological Rehabilitation


Targeted cognitive and physical therapies address:


  1. Memory, attention, and executive function
  2. Motor control and coordination
  3. Strength, balance, and movement precision

These therapies are essential for patients recovering from brain injuries, FND, and neurological deconditioning.


Vestibular Rehabilitation


Our vestibular rehabilitation program targets the inner-ear and brain pathways responsible for:


  1. Balance and coordination
  2. Spatial awareness
  3. Dizziness and vertigo control

This therapy is particularly valuable for post-concussion patients and individuals with balance disorders.


Neuroplasticity-Focused Exercises


Neuroplasticity is central to functional neurology. We use carefully sequenced:


  1. Visual and auditory stimulation
  2. Proprioceptive and balance input
  3. Cognitive and physical therapy exercises


These inputs encourage the brain to rewire, strengthen neural pathways, and improve overall brain health.


Holistic Pain & Neurological Regulation


Using functional medicine and neurological principles, we address chronic pain at its neurological roots, including:


  1. Migraines
  2. Peripheral neuropathy
  3. Post-concussion symptoms


This approach focuses on regulation, not symptom suppression.


Expertise in Chiropractic Functional Neurology


Our care is delivered by clinicians with advanced post-doctorate training in chiropractic neurology, specializing in restoring brain-body communication and nervous system regulation. This expertise allows us to manage complex neurological cases with precision and care.


Functional Neurological Disorder (FND): A Treatable Condition


Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a condition caused by a disconnect between the brain and the body, not structural damage. Symptoms may include:


  1. Migraines
  2. Vertigo or dizziness
  3. Tinnitus
  4. Tingling or weakness in an extremity
  5. Brain fog or cognitive difficulties


Although the symptoms can be alarming, FND is relatively common and treatable.


A chiropractic functional neurology approach helps the brain and body resynchronize, supporting improved movement, coordination, and neurological function—without drugs or invasive procedures.


Why Choose Functional Neurology?


Functional neurology may be right for you if you:


  1. Want a non-invasive, drug-free approach
  2. Have persistent neurological symptoms without clear answers
  3. Are recovering from concussion or brain injury
  4. Experience neurological symptoms affecting daily life


This approach empowers patients to regain control, improve quality of life, and support long-term brain health.
