Today we will be discussing Functional Neurology. Our clinic is comprised of patients who have inflammatory, autoimmune, hormonal, and neurological problems. Relative to neurological conditions, in our practice we see patients who have chronic pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy, dizziness, vertigo, migraines, restless leg syndrome, and post concussion syndrome to name a few. Most of our patients have a good understanding as to why we institute dietary and nutritional management strategies for their inflammation, yet today we felt the need to elaborate on why the neurological rehabilitation aspect of treatment is important for our patients.
