Questions clinicians ask first
What is a Chiropractic Neurologist?
A chiropractic neurologist is a Doctor of Chiropractic, or the equivalent in healthcare, who has taken 300 hours of post-doctorate education and training in functional neurology and passed the written and performance exams required for certification by the ACNB. Doctors who take and pass the examinations receive board certification and are Diplomates of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB).
Chiropractic neurology is a field of functional neurology that engages the internal and external environment of the individual in a structured and targeted approach to affect positive changes in function. Therapeutic protocols are based on mainstream and current scientific research on brain and central nervous system integration. The doctors will direct appropriate clinical applications that optimize the development or rehabilitation of central nervous system function. Neuroscience research supports interventions provided by chiropractic neurologists for the repair and recovery of the nervous system and eliminating pain and various symptoms for children and adults.
Chiropractic neurologists utilize the most current rehabilitative methods and equipment for specific integration of the musculoskeletal, motor, and sensory systems to evoke specific neuron activation and integration adjunctively with specialized chiropractic manipulative procedures as indicated by examination.
