A TBI impacts your brain function. It can cause confusion, memory loss and concentration issues.

Chiropractic neurologists treat head, neck and back injuries, which are common in auto and work-related accidents. These injuries can affect your brain and nervous system and cause different symptoms, ranging from pain to confusion to tingling sensations in your hands and feet.
We treat many neurological conditions, including:
A TBI impacts your brain function. It can cause confusion, memory loss and concentration issues.
A concussion is a type of mild TBI that causes headaches, nausea or dizziness.
Sometimes called a pinched nerve, radiculopathy happens when a nerve becomes compressed (squeezed). You may feel numbness, tingling, pain or muscle weakness.
Ataxia is damage to the part of your brain that controls muscles. It can lead to problems with balance, walking, vision, hearing and speech. It can also cause headaches.
Our chiropractic neurologists use advanced tests to diagnose brain and nervous system problems. First, you’ll have a very thorough physical exam, where your doctor will ask detailed questions to learn about all your symptoms.
Then, they’ll recommend a standard imaging test, such as an X-ray, MRI or CT scan, or one of our cutting-edge technologies that offer detailed information about your injury and how it affected your brain or spinal cord.
Your nerves and muscles send messages to your brain using electricity. Electrodiagnostic tests help our chiropractic neurologists learn how well these signals travel.
What to Expect
You might feel a little uncomfortable when the needles electrodes are inserted for the EMG test or you may feel startled when the electrical pulses are generated during the NCV test. You might also have some small bruises or soreness after the test.
How to Prepare for Your Test
Videonystagmography (VNG) can diagnose problems with your vestibular system, which controls your balance. The test uses different movements and sensations to measure how your eyes move. If your eyes don’t move as they should, it could be a sign that you have a vestibular disorder.

A chiropractic neurologist is qualified to diagnose and treat neurological disorders involving the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves and the associated dysfunction of these systems. A chiropractic neurologist will not prescribe drugs or surgery, but rather recommend appropriate conservative treatment depending on the nature of the dysfunction. After a thorough evaluation, a potential patient may be deemed “not qualified” for conservative care and may need to be co-managed or referred to a medical neurologist or other provider until symptoms improve.
