Functional Neurology

Functional Neurology: Brain / Nervous System, Treatment, Motor Sensory / Emotional Cognitive

At the Brainchild Achievement Center, we utilize the principles of Functional Neurology to treat the whole body, not just symptoms. Through a comprehensive diagnostic program, we determine not only the nature of the problem, but the underlying neurological and neuromuscular causes of the problem. Many times, the two may seem unrelated to the layman.

Functional Neurology: A Revolutionary Approach to Healing

The premise we base our diagnoses and treatment on is called Functional Neurology. By isolating functionally which areas of a patient's nervous system are involved with the problems they are having, we can select the best treatment to treat and reduce the problem, not just the symptoms. The focus is on the global function of the nervous system as the ultimate goal of our treatment.

Functional Neurology focuses on treating the brain with "afferent (sensory) stimulation" that conveys information to targeted areas. For example, to treat a lesion in the cerebellum, we would perform afferent stimulation targeted to that area of the brain by spinning the patient to the left while sitting in a chair.

Drug-Free Treatment Programs for Childhood
Behavioral / Learning Disorders

After a diagnosis has been made, we provide a variety of treatments, all without drugs or medications, to address and correct the actual causes of the problem. In other words, instead of giving you an aspirin for a headache, we find the cause of the headache and develop a treatment to correct it.

Functional Neurology has also been effective in the treatment of childhood behavioral and learning disorders, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD.)
