Brain Based Therapy

What is Brain Based Therapy and how can it benefit me?

Most people associate chiropractic with back and neck pain. However, the recent advances in brain research and imaging strongly support the new specialty of chiropractic neurology. This advanced branch of chiropractic offers new hope for those who have not found relief from conventional chiropractic, physical therapy and medical (drug) treatment.

Chiropractic Neurology is a form of Chiropractic assessment and care that focuses on restoring and optimizing brain and nervous system function, which in turn improves health throughout the body.

This approach relies on an in depth knowledge and application of how various parts of the brain and nervous system work together to create health (Central Integration). Functional Neurology offers new hope for those who have not found relief from conventional types of care.

Chiropractic neurology is a specialty in evaluating the function of the brain and nervous system. Once the deficit has been diagnosed, a care plan protocol is implemented to increase the potential of the brain and correct the brain’s asymmetry.

It is the methods of care that separates us from medical neurology and other chiropractic methods. While medical neurologists utilize synthetic drugs to affect the system, we may utilize a program of care involving physical modalities that are non-invasive, non-surgical and holistic or organic as possible.

Chiropractic neurology involves a functional approach to the analysis and the unique methodology of stimulating the repair of the nervous system. The Florendo Synchronized Healing Method is a technique designed to enhance the natural innate repair process that each person possesses.

This involves a focused interpretation of clinical findings and symptoms based upon a functional continuum of analysis. In one sense, this means that we, utilizing a functional neurological approach, offer an exceptionally valuable option for certain patients who have been unable to obtain a named diagnosis or solution for their problem, particularly when this is as a result of dysfunction rather than a named process of pathology (disease).

Consequently, we may recommend a program or therapies that may not be familiar to medical neurologists, and will likely be new to you as well. Such care plans, known as afferent stimulation, is the use of elements of the physical environment that are non-invasive and non-surgical.

Specific unilateral (one sided) chiropractic adjustments of the spine and skeleton, brain exercises – cognitive exercises, visual and auditory stimulation, spinning and balance exercises, vibration therapy, warm water caloric, eye tracking exercises, Upper Body Ergometer (similar to a bicycle for your arms), are just a few of the therapies or neurocizes utilized by us to make changes to the nervous system.

When these afferent stimulation modalities are specifically and correctly applied to your case, your nervous system will begin to regain its optimal function and you will begin to regain your life.

A revolutionary new program developed by the country’s leading chiropractic neurologist, Dr. Fredrick Carrick. The treatments are all neurologically and metabolically based and clinically proven to help with conditions like Chronic Neck and Back Pain, Leg Pain/Sciatica, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Restless Leg Syndrome, Numbness, Tingling, Balance Disorders, ADD/ADHD/Dyslexia, Thyroid Disorders and many other conditions.

Dr. John G. Florendo is a Chiropractic Physician with over 30 years of clinical expertise and more than 300 hours in post-graduate neurological, sports injuries, and pediatric training. What he does differs from traditional chiropractic. While most chiropractors focus on the alignment of the spine, he extends the examination and care to include the function (or areas of dysfunction) of the central nervous system. This includes the brain and spinal cord, and their effect on nerves, biomechanics, muscle function, metabolic and other body functions.
