What Is Functional Neurology Therapy?

And How Can We Change the Brain?

Functional neurology therapy is a cutting-edge, patient-centered approach that looks beyond traditional medical diagnoses to focus on how the brain and nervous system actually function. Unlike conventional neurology—which typically seeks to identify structural damage or disease—functional neurology is concerned with the subtle ways the brain communicates, adapts, and influences every aspect of your health.

How Does Functional Neurology Work?

Functional neurology therapists use detailed, non-invasive assessments to evaluate how different parts of your brain and nervous system are working together. This might include:

• Eye movement testing
• Balance and coordination checks
• Sensory and reflex evaluations
• Cognitive and emotional screening

The goal is to identify areas where the brain may not be firing or connecting efficiently—even if scans and standard tests look “normal.”

How Can We Change the Brain?

The brain is remarkably adaptable, thanks to a property called neuroplasticity. This means it can reorganize itself, form new connections, and even recover lost functions with the right stimulation and support.

Functional neurology therapy harnesses this neuroplasticity by:

• Providing targeted exercises and sensory stimulation to “wake up” underactive brain regions
• Using neurofeedback to train healthier brainwave patterns
• Employing vision and balance therapy to recalibrate how your brain processes information
• Customizing interventions to your unique needs, symptoms, and goals

Who Can Benefit?

People struggling with symptoms that don’t show up on traditional tests—such as dizziness, headaches, brain fog, light/sound sensitivity, anxiety, post-concussion issues, and more—often find answers and relief through functional neurology.

Why Choose Functional Neurology Therapy?

• Root Cause Focus: Instead of masking symptoms, this approach aims to resolve them at their source.
• Personalized Care: Every brain is unique, so therapy is tailored to your specific patterns and challenges.
• Hope for “Unexplained” Symptoms: Many patients who have been told “there’s nothing wrong” finally discover what’s really going on—and how to heal.

In summary:

Functional neurology therapy is about unlocking your brain’s full potential. By understanding and improving how your brain functions—not just what it looks like—we can help you move beyond symptoms and reclaim your quality of life.
