What is Funtional Neurology?

Functional Neurology is a chiropractic specializations developed by Dr Frederick Carrick, DC. It seeks to make under-performing or “weaker” areas of the brain, brainstem and spinal cord, work better with unique and precise “waking-up” stimulations.

The eyes are the window to the Brain!

If your eyeballs are not leveled or do not move smoothly, that will tell me about areas of the brain, cerebellum or brainstem that need to be "jump-started".

We then stimulate the "weaker" areas, with repeated person specific eye movements exercises.

Eye movement is key for Reading Abilities and Focus, when playing Padel, Posture, or to prevent Neck Pain or Headaches.

Eyes and inner Ear Balance are fondamental in informing the brain as to where your head & body are in space.

Chronic Neck Pain and Headaches

A Mom was suffering for years from chronic neck pain and headaches, which made it difficult for her to care for her young children.

She had a left sided "lazy eye", which kept her slightly turning her head. This made her frequently tired and with constant neck tension, contributing greatly to her Headaches and Neck Pain.

With integrated care and functional neurology center her eye and improve her balance, she was able to release her pain.

Primitive Reflexes

Our Nervous System runs on software, just like robots do, which are modeled after us.

“Software disturbances”, can contribute for instance to Lower Back Pain.

Take the Spinal Galant Baby Reflex, it contributes to the development of Balance and Back Muscle Control. It prepares a child for crawling, standing, and walking; all of which are foundational software / abilities.

When a Child or Adult retains this baby reflex, it throws a “wrench” into their back and posture muscle control system.

Rehabilitation Exercises helped Ivan, a 24-year-old, to turn-off this baby reflex, helping his brain to become more organized and efficient at controlling his lower back muscles, and releasing his back pain.

Our health culture has largely ignored the nervous system, up until now.

Most of what happens in the physical body is controlled by the Brain-Spinal Cord-Nerves, such as digestion, moving your fingers, breathing, repairing a torn muscle or broken bone… balancing your weight & posture when you walk...

If you sense you need an upgrade, and wish to have more coherence and organization, we are enthusiastically here to help!

What does that practically look like?

Every function—movement, muscle & organ activity, mood, sleep, digestion—is directed by the brain and reaches your body through your nervous system. When your spine is misaligned due to poor posture, stress, trauma, or daily habits, it interferes with this communication, reducing your body’s ability to heal and perform at its best.
