Chiropractic neurology is an advanced specialty field within general chiropractic.
 
Chiropractic is neurology.  It is not about bones.  It is about the brain, spine, nerves, and nervous system receptors located in the joints and soft tissues.  It is about the integration of structure and function.  It's about increasing function of the brain and body.
 
Chiropractic neurology addresses spinal manipulation done in a biomechanically correct and safe fashion.  There are no rotary neck adjustments which can stress the vertebral artery.  Joints are moved in the manner in which they were designed to move. 
 
The side of the spine to treat or not treat is also clinically very important.  Simply adjusting both sides of the spine may increase or decrease function.  It's important to know what clinical windows to look into in order to determine this.
 
A chiropractor with post graduate training in neurology will use what is called afferent stimulation to improve function.  Afferent stimulation is the use of physical stimuli which may include chiropractic adjustments, brain exercises, light, heat, water, and sound, all of which are non-surgical and non-invasive.
    

CHIROPRACTIC: A science of applied neurophysiological diagnosis based on the theory that health and disease are life processes related to the function of the nervous system;  irritation of the nervous system by mechanical, chemical or psychic factors is the cause of disease; restoration and maintenance of health depend on normal function of the nervous system.  Diagnosis is the identification of these noxious irritants and treatment is the removal by the most conservative method.

“Look well to the spine for the cause of disease.” – Hippocrates


"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."

 

Thomas Edison

The day is near at hand when the doctor will no longer be engaged to patch up the sick man, but to prevent him from getting sick.
