What Therapeutic Perspective does a Chiropractic Neurologist Offer?
There’s an old-fashioned belief that brain development takes place early in childhood and then stops by the time we reach maturity. In fact, recent research has shown that the brain never stops changing in response to input from the environment. Sensory information gathered by receptors in the muscles and joints, for example, can alter the function of brain systems, which in turn affect the function of those receptors. The chiropractic neurologist is a specialist in “brain-based” therapy modalities, that is, therapies informed by an understanding of the brain’s role in joint and muscle dysfunction.
