I use QEEG and many forms of neurofeedback, and I see a need for comprehensive brain management beyond simply drugs, talk therapy and neurofeedback. I fully support counselors and their counseling methods and occasional use of medication if all else fails. I provide broad scope of practice as a chiropractic physician and a board certified specialist in chiropractic neurology, consulting outside the scope of the psychology professions such as: physical neurological examination and differential diagnosis, ordering imaging and lab testing, diet management and physical medicine to support their chosen interventions. I also provide second opinion case reviews, reports, treatment planning, coordination of care and actual treatment for personal injury cases.
*Electrophysiology to me includes the use of QEEG, EP, NEMG/NCV, ERP, which extends further into infrared/Fresnel goggle examination of eye movements, static posturography, and other methods to evaluate function and localize lesions.
*Neurochemistry for me is lab based biochemical personalized functional medicine, including SNPs and detailed medical history and careful physical examination. I avoid fad diets and hyped supplements, but I combine many diverse diets without prejudice to speed the recovery of my brain health patients, as well as elimination diets and nutritional supplements. I will ask every chronic patient about their dental health. I may include various detoxication and detoxification methods. I am no fan of captured regulatory agencies and reactive health policies. I am a trained chef and was faculty at the Bauman College in the nutrition and culinary programs, and this has helped me greatly in clinical application.
*Neuro rehab to me begins with the American Chiropractic Association's ACNB; the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. This DACNB diplomate program confirms the specialty of chiropractic neurology, which I hold, and I serve on the Exam committee for this body. See ACNB.org. Chiropractic neurology is precision directed neurological exercises aimed at restoring the frequency of firing to specific brain, brain stem or cord regions identified in detailed neurological examination for patients and as second opinion for their various health care providers. This specialty includes attention to neural fatigue and trans-neural degeneration, not just location but dosage of rehab as potent medicine that can easily overdose and overwhelm the autonomic-trophic supply of the targeted pools of neurons/glia and their circulatory watersheds. Sometimes this includes advanced brain, spine, or plexus imaging without gadolinium contrast whenever possible. Measurable clinical improvement is gold, and it can support reasonable therapeutic trials when the evidence base is sparse for some interventions or patient preferences that defy convention.
Your professional development is important to me, and I wish you good progress in your pursuit of wisdom. It as a deep honor for me to assist every single intern that seeks me out, and I learn from every single one. In fact, it is also the single best way for me to identify my own blind spots. Thank you.
