Unlock Your Brain’s Potential with Chiropractic Neurology at Gilmore Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic Neurology (Functional Neurology)?
Chiropractic neurology, also known as functional neurology, is an advanced, science-based approach that combines chiropractic care with neuroscience to assess, treat, and optimize the function of the nervous system. At Gilmore Chiropractic, our chiropractic neurologist uses non-invasive techniques to: -Identify the cause of symptoms like numbness, tingling, vertigo, migraines, movement disorders, or progressive loss of memory -Address these neurological conditions -Enhance brain-body communication -Promote overall health
Whether you’re experiencing dizziness, chronic pain, brain fog, or movement disorders, chiropractic neurology offers a natural, drug-free solution to restore balance and improve your quality of life.
How Does It Work?
Chiropractic neurology works by evaluating and stimulating the brain and nervous system to improve function and correct imbalances. Our practitioner uses a variety of non-invasive methods, including precise spinal adjustments, sensory stimulation (e.g., light, sound, or vibration), eye movement exercises, balance training, and cognitive tasks. These techniques target specific areas of the brain and nervous system, enhancing neural pathways, reducing dysfunction, and supporting the body’s ability to heal itself. We assess your unique neurological profile through detailed exams—evaluating reflexes, coordination, and sensory responses—to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your symptoms.

What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-honored, holistic healthcare practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body. At Gilmore Chiropractic, our skilled acupuncturist uses this gentle, non-invasive technique to restore balance, alleviate pain, and promote overall well-being. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, or other health concerns, acupuncture offers a natural and effective solution to enhance your health.
How Does It Work?
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific acupuncture points along the body’s meridians—pathways believed to carry energy, or “Qi” (pronounced “chee”). By inserting fine needles into these points, our acupuncturists help regulate the flow of Qi, restore balance to the body’s systems, and trigger the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins. This process reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and supports the body’s natural healing abilities. We may also combine acupuncture with techniques like cupping, moxibustion, or herbal recommendations to enhance your treatment and address your unique needs.
