What is functional neurology?

Functional neurology is a specialized approach that assesses and treats neurological conditions through targeted, non-invasive therapies. It focuses on improving brain function through exercises, rehabilitation, and lifestyle modifications rather than medication or surgery.

What conditions does functional neurology treat?

Functional neurology effectively treats dizziness and vertigo, POTS and dysautonomia, post-concussion syndrome, balance disorders, peripheral neuropathy, chronic headaches and migraines, and cognitive difficulties including brain fog.

How is POTS diagnosed and treated?

POTS is diagnosed through comprehensive autonomic testing including tilt table testing and heart rate variability analysis. Treatment involves a combination of vestibular rehabilitation, autonomic training exercises, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes dietary changes to improve symptoms.

Can functional neurology help with post-concussion symptoms?

Yes, functional neurology is highly effective for post-concussion syndrome. Treatment addresses the specific neurological deficits identified during examination, including vestibular dysfunction, eye movement problems, and cognitive issues, through targeted rehabilitation exercises.

How long does functional neurology treatment take?

Treatment duration varies based on the condition and individual response. Many patients notice improvement within 2-4 weeks of consistent treatment. A typical treatment plan involves 2-3 visits per week initially, transitioning to home exercises as symptoms improve.

What happens during a functional neurology examination?

A functional neurology examination includes detailed assessment of eye movements, balance and coordination, reflexes, sensory function, cognitive performance, and autonomic function. This comprehensive evaluation identifies specific areas of neurological dysfunction to target with treatment.
