Performance Care and Chiropractic Neurology
Performance Care
In the performance care model, our doctors work to help to identify decompensations and neuromuscular dysfunction, i.e. poor movement patterns, that can be corrected or augmented to permit healing and recovery.
Our doctors understand that the human body is constantly assessing safety and will only permit changes in movement patterns if the new movement is deemed to be safe by the visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems.
Our doctors are experts in helping your body through this process.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on one’s general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
What is a Chiropractic Neurologist? A Chiropractic Neurologist is a Doctor of Chiropractic that has taken 300+ post-doctoral hours of coursework in functional neurology and passed the rigorous written and performance exams required for certification by the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. These doctors are referred to as Diplomates of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB). DACNB’s use the patients’ body and environment to assess, diagnose, and localize areas of dysfunction. The human body systems are constantly affecting the neurological system and being effected by the neurological system. The human neurological system is constantly affecting and being affected by the body’s other systems, such as the musculoskeletal system. DACNB’s use this functional and holistic approach to target interventions specific to the location of the dysfunction.
Typical dysfunctions treated by a chiropractic neurologist include a variety of disorders affecting the nervous system, such as radiculopathy, sciatica, or other nerve entrapment syndromes. Chiropractic neurologists also work with patients who have central nervous system dysfunction such as multiple sclerosis or from a stroke or brain injury.
