Functional Chiropractic Neurology Doctor San Diego
What is Functional Chiropractic Neurology?
We utilize a multidimensional approach to the evaluation and treatment of all types of complex neurological conditions like post concussion syndrome, migraines, and vertigo / dizziness.
Our Approach to Functional Neurology
Functional neurology is a healthcare specialty focused on the assessment, quantification, and rehabilitation of the human nervous system. Rather than relying primarily on medication, this approach uses sensory, visual, vestibular, and cognitive based therapies intended to support neuroplasticity and functional recovery.
What Makes SDCN Different?
At San Diego Chiropractic Neurology, we do not just treat symptoms. We perform neurological, metabolic, and structural evaluations to identify what may be driving your condition. Our team utilizes diagnostic tools including videonystagmography (VNG), balance and posturography testing, eye movement testing, and laboratory work when it is clinically appropriate.
What a Functional Chiropractic Neurology Evaluation May Include
Every case is different, but a first visit commonly includes:
- A detailed history of symptom onset, triggers, and prior care
- Eye movement testing, including pursuits, saccades, and gaze stability
- Vestibular and positional testing when dizziness or vertigo is present
- Balance, gait, and coordination assessment
- Cervical spine and postural assessment
- Autonomic screening when symptoms change with position or exertion
The goal is to identify which systems are underperforming so a rehabilitation plan can target those specific areas instead of treating every case the same way.
Conditions We Treat
Our chiropractic neurology practice focuses on:
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
- Vertigo and dizziness
- Chronic migraines
- POTS and dysautonomia
- Cervicogenic dizziness
- Stroke rehabilitation and balance retraining
Who May Be a Good Fit
Patients often reach out after imaging and standard testing were called normal but symptoms continued. If dizziness, headaches, visual strain, brain fog, motion sensitivity, or balance problems have lasted beyond the expected recovery window, a functional neurologic evaluation may help clarify what is still involved. This care is not a substitute for emergency or specialty medical care, and we refer out when that is the more appropriate next step.
