Functional Neurology
Functional neurology assesses how well groups of neurons are working. Under active neurons may quickly fatigue and be unable to do their job. By performing a functional neurological exam we can determine the specific group of neurons that need attention, then prescribe individually based specific exercises designed to improve performance and function. The original concepts of functional neurology were developed by Dr. Ted Carrick of the Carrick Institute which provides post graduate studies in functional neurology. Specific chiropractic adjustments coupled with rehab exercises can provide a very powerful method of stimulating appropriate areas of the brain.
The neuron is the functional unit in the nervous system. Neurons communicate electrically and chemically. Neurotransmitters are chemicals in the brain that relay information. Balancing brain chemistry is essential to getting maximal benefit from chiropractic adjustments and rehab exercises. Lifestyle, diet, and overall health greatly affect neurotransmitter function. At Schmoe Chiropractic Clinic we address these factors utilizing adjustments, rehab exercises, nutritional intervention, supplementation, and Gut Repair protocols to balance Neurotransmitter activity.

Main Neurotransmitters Assessed:
• Serotonin: Low serotonin is associated with depression, PMS, seasonal affective disorder, inner rage, and a general loss of enthusiasm.
• Dopamine: Low dopamine is associated with a short temper, low self-esteem, poor focus and concentration, and addictive behavior.
• GABA: Low GABA is associated with stress, anxiety, panic, feeling overwhelmed, chronic worry, restlessness, and feelings of dread.
• Acetylcholine: Low acetylcholine is associated with memory loss, difficulty learning, difficulty calculating numbers, slow mental response, and poor visual memory (trouble remembering faces or where you parked your car).
• Dopamine: Low dopamine is associated with a short temper, low self-esteem, poor focus and concentration, and addictive behavior.
