Functional Neurology
Support your brain. Realign your body.
At Crater Chiropractic, we go beyond traditional adjustments. If your symptoms keep returning—despite regular care—it may not be just your spine or muscles at fault. The real issue could be how your brain is directing your body to function and compensate.
What Is Functional Neurology?
Functional neurology identifies and treats imbalances in how your brain communicates with the rest of your body. When your brain processes movement or posture incorrectly, your body compensates in ways that can lead to chronic pain, instability, or lingering symptoms. In these cases, spinal adjustments alone won’t address the root cause.
That’s why our approach combines advanced chiropractic techniques with brain-based therapies that retrain your nervous system. By restoring proper brain-body communication, we help your system reset and function the way it was meant to—naturally and effectively.
Signs You Might Benefit from Functional Neurology:
Many patients come to us after realizing that traditional approaches aren't getting to the root of their symptoms—especially when the brain is involved.
Recurring symptoms despite regular chiropractic visits: If you're stuck in a cycle of temporary relief, your brain may be overriding your body’s attempts to heal.
Dizziness, balance issues, or poor coordination: These are often signs that your brain’s sensory and motor systems are out of sync.
Chronic pain that shifts or doesn't respond to treatment: When pain moves or lingers unpredictably, it may be driven by neurological patterns rather than physical injury alone.
Post-concussion symptoms: Brain injuries can disrupt how your nervous system processes information, even long after the initial trauma.
Sensory sensitivity or brain fog: Light, sound, and cognitive overwhelm can all point to nervous system dysregulation.
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, a functional neurological approach could provide the breakthrough you’ve been looking for.
Our Tools: Brain-Based, Laser-Assisted Care
At Crater Chiropractic, we incorporate modern tools that make functional neurology effective. For example, laser therapy is a powerful tool for stimulating neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change and heal. Without it, deep neurological change can be much harder to achieve.
We may also use techniques like:
Visual and vestibular stimulation
Light therapy and movement-based retraining
Brain-based muscle testing
Gentle cranial techniques
You might be surprised how something as simple as a targeted head massage—or the right stimulation to your visual system—can reset your nervous system and unlock lasting relief.
Why Choose Functional Neurology?
Your brain is the control center for everything your body does—from posture and movement to pain perception and healing. When your nervous system is out of sync, your body often compensates in ways that lead to recurring symptoms, chronic pain, or subtle functional issues that traditional chiropractic care may not resolve on its own. Functional neurology offers a precise, science-backed way to uncover and address these hidden causes.
We identify and retrain brain-driven patterns using targeted, non-invasive therapies designed to promote neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to change and adapt. Instead of just adjusting the spine, we help your brain rewire itself for better balance, improved coordination, and more lasting relief. By working with your brain, not against it, we promote deeper, more sustainable healing.
