Functional Neurology

What is Functional Neurology?

Functional neurology is an approach to healthcare that focuses on enhancing the functioning of the nervous system. This specialized field goes beyond treating specific diseases by examining how even small changes in brain function can affect your daily life.

How Does It Differ from Traditional Neurology?

While traditional neurology focuses on diagnosing and treating specific neurological diseases, functional neurology looks at the subtle ways brain function can change, affecting everything from balance to mental clarity. This approach helps in identifying issues that might not be recognized as part of a specific disease but can significantly impact quality of life.

Common Issues Addressed by Functional Neurology:

  • Balance Problems: You may not feel outright unbalanced but experience a desire to sit more often than usual.
  • Mental Fog: Feeling less sharp or having trouble concentrating.
  • Sensory Processing: Sensitivities to light, sound, or touch that affect daily activities.

Vestibular Rehabilitation: A Key Focus

A vital part of functional neurology is vestibular rehabilitation, which concentrates on the vestibular system — a key element responsible for balance and spatial orientation. This therapy helps individuals regain their sense of balance and movement, especially after injuries or illnesses that affect these abilities.
