The nervous system plays a pivotal role in regulating body function, and chiropractic neurology offers an integrative approach to addressing dysfunctions. This book introduces the foundations of functional neurology within chiropractic care, focusing on brain-body connections, neural pathways, and sensory integration. It explores clinical applications in conditions such as vertigo, movement disorders, chronic pain, and post-concussion syndromes. Neurological testing, reflex assessment, and rehabilitative strategies are discussed in detail. The text emphasizes neuroplasticity and non-invasive therapeutic interventions, providing tools for neurologically-focused chiropractic practice. Diagrams and patient-centered examples support comprehension and application.
