What can Functional Neurology treat?

Practitioners of Functional Neurology identify and treat disorders of the nervous system using drug and surgery free methods. Practitioners identify the areas of dysfunction in the patient's nervous system using a variety of methods, depending on the patient's needs. Testing may include standard physical, neurological and orthopaedic testing, psychometric testing, electrodiagnostic testing such as qEEG, nerve conduction studies and the like. Treatment is directed towards activating the natural neuroplastic processes in the brain that enhance function.
