Chiropractic Neurology

Whether you are suffering from a chronic debilitating neurological disease or just want to optimize peak performance a chiropractic neurologist may be the health care professional you are seeking.  Chiropractic neurologists implement specific treatments aimed at restoring function to areas of degeneration in the brain. Every person has neurons degenerating in the brain every minute of every day.  This degeneration can be accelerated by metabolic disorders such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and anemia.  Neuro-degeneration is also accelerated by trauma. Car accidents and sports injuries are two of the most common forms of trauma that will lead to degeneration in the brain.  Many times the early signs of neuro-degeneration are minor and therefore ignored.  When you forget where you parked your car, or what you walked into the room to get, you may find yourself wrongly assuming that this is a normal part of aging. Changes in temperament, energy, memory, smell, and ability to focus are just a few of the signs that a brain is degenerating. Even early changes of brain degeneration can hinder your ability at work or in your athletic activities. The more common conditions associated with neuro-degeneration such as parkinsons, alzheimers, and dementia are increasing in frequency every year. These are debilitating conditions, that have devastating effects not only on the individual with the disease, but also on their family. Optimizing your brains health by working with a chiropractic neurologist can help prevent these devastating disorders. Chiropractic neurologists are able to identify damaged or weak areas in the brain and prescribe specific therapies to strengthen and rehabilitate these damaged areas.  Chiropractic neurologists have been successfully helping patients with autism, ADHD, neuropathy, balance disorders,  parkinsons, alzheimers, stroke, and many other conditions for years. It is my recommendation that every person receive a functional neurological evaluation whether they have a neurological disorder or are hoping to take preventative measures.  In order to find a doctor of chiropractic that specializes in neurology visit the websites www.lifechangingcare.com and www.acnb.org.  Dr. Huffman's office can be reached at 763-398-7770 with any questions. God bless.
