What is Chiropractic Neurology?
Chiropractic neurology combines the best of neurological science and chiropractic. It is well accepted that chiropractic adjustments of the spine affect the function of the nervous system. Since the 1990’s, research continues to explain the complexity of the nervous system and the effects of manipulation and other non-drug related therapies.Chiropractors with further training in neurology are skilled in evaluating the function of the brain and nervous system, and how that relates to the patients condition.
It is the treatment that separates chiropractic neurology from medical neurology. While medical neurologists often utilize synthetic drugs and surgery to affect the nervous system, the Functional Neurology Chiropractor may utilize treatment involving physical modalities that are non-invasive and non-surgical. These may include specific and safe chiropractic adjustments to the spine and other joints, cognitive exercises, visual and auditory stimulation, spinning and balance exercises, eye tracking exercises, and eye light therapy just to mention a few.
Most people associate chiropractic with back and neck pain. However, the recent advances in brain research and imaging strongly support the new specialty of chiropractic neurology. This advanced branch of chiropractic offers new hope for those who have not found relief from conventional treatment. On-going education and advanced training allows our Functional Chiropractor Carlo Rinaudo to assess and provide treatments for complex disorders involving the nervous system. Carlo is one of few Chiropractors in Australia with this level of training, coupled with his experience in cranial therapy, applied kinesiology, sports, and nutrition, make him ideal and helping you with your concerns.

What type of testing is performed?
Chiropractic neurology utilizes evaluations and treatments that are taught in both chiropractic and medical schools. These evaluations are purely scientific investigations into human physiology. These tests can be as simple as balance, co-ordination, and eye movements, to more complicated test involving particular areas of the brain. These may include vestibuloocular tests, optokinetic tests, pursuit and saccade testing, blind spot evaluation, radiography, postural analysis, vestibular and cerebellar testing. In addition, traditional clinical neurological examinations are used, including muscle testing, heart screening, reflexes, blood pressure, cranial and peripheral nerve testing, and sensory and motor evaluations.
