How Functional Neurology is Applied

Functional Neurology in Lake Forest, CA: Functional neurology looks at dysfunction in the nervous system in order to detect subtle changes before they become distinct pathologies. Although its applications have been practiced for generations, functional neurology as a health care service is a relatively new practice. The practice of functional neurology spans multiple disciplines including chiropractic, psychology, conventional medicine, optometry, audiology and physical and occupational therapies.

The three factors that are most important in functional neurology care are:

1. Determining where the failure in the nervous system and/or body lies
2. Determining the right stimulation to activate that area
3. Determining the proper amount of stimulation by identifying the health condition of the failing area
