Functional Neurology Therapy | Personalized Treatments
Functional neurology therapy offers a patient-centered approach to managing various neurological conditions. This therapy focuses on retraining the brain and nervous system through non-invasive techniques that promote neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new connections. The Neurologic Wellness Institute (NWI) specializes in personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs, aiming to reduce neurological symptoms, improve motor function, and enhance overall well-being.
Unlike conventional neurology, which primarily focuses on diagnosing and managing symptoms through medication, functional neurology emphasizes active rehabilitation. Using advanced diagnostic tools and therapeutic exercises, functional neurologists address the root cause of symptoms.
Common conditions treated with functional neurology therapy include:
Vestibular Dysfunction: Treating balance issues and dizziness through targeted exercises.
Dysautonomia: Stabilizing autonomic functions to alleviate symptoms like irregular heart rates and blood pressure fluctuations.
Chronic Pain: Managing neurological symptoms that contribute to persistent discomfort.
Functional Movement Disorders: Addressing abnormal movements and muscle control issues.
Each of The Neurologic Wellness Institute clinics provides functional neurology treatments based on the most current research and therapies available.
Our doctors use state-of-the-art equipment to help explain the cause of your problem, and what we can do to help.

Intensive NeuroRecovery Program
The Intensive NeuroRecovery Program at the Neurologic Wellness Institute is designed for patients who need focused rehabilitation. This program is ideal for those recovering from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), stroke, and movement disorders. Common conditions treated include:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)/Concussion: Comprehensive therapy to improve cognitive and motor function.
- Vestibular Dysfunction: Treating balance issues and dizziness through targeted exercises.
- Dysautonomia: Stabilizing autonomic functions to alleviate symptoms like irregular heart rates and blood pressure fluctuations.
- Chronic Pain: Managing neurological symptoms that contribute to persistent discomfort.
- Stroke Recovery: Enhancing neurological pathways to regain independence.
- Movement Disorders: Addressing motor symptoms through targeted neurotherapy.
Unlike standard neurological rehabilitation, the Intensive NeuroRecovery Program offers more frequent, specialized sessions tailored to each patient’s condition and progress.

Neurological Rehabilitation
Neurological Rehabilitation is a doctor-supervised program that can often improve function, reducesymptoms, and improve the well-being of a patient. The Neurologic Wellness Institute offers personalized neurological rehabilitation for various disorders and complaints. The goal of neurological rehabilitation is to help you return to the highest level of function and independence possible.
This comprehensive approach includes:
- Motor Learning: Exercises designed to retrain the brain and improve movement patterns.
- Cognitive Training: Mental exercises that enhance focus, memory, and executive function.
- Balance and Coordination Therapy: Targeted treatments for functional movement disorders.
Compared to traditional physical therapy, functional neurology takes a more comprehensive approach by addressing the root causes of neurological dysfunction rather than just managing symptoms.
The doctors at The Neurologic Wellness Institute help patients with a wide range of conditions such as
- Balance Disorders
- Chronic Pain
- Concussion/mTBI
- Dizziness/Vertigo
- Dysautonomia
- Headaches
- Post-Infectious
- Migraine
- Movement Disorders
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Parkinson’s Disease

Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized form of physical rehabilitation used to treat dizziness, vertigo, motion sensitivity, balance/walking disorders, postural abnormalities, visual issues, nausea, fatigue, and cognitive difficulties. The Neurologic Wellness Institute offers a vestibular rehabilitation program consisting of a 3-hour initial evaluation which translates into an individualized treatment plan for each patient.
We provide a step-by-step evaluation and treatment process that includes:
- Dizziness/Wooziness
- Vertigo
- Motion Sensitivity
- Balance/Walking Difficulties
- Nausea Related to Movement
- Unexplained Falls
- Visual Disturbance
treatment
Neurofeedback
The neurofeedback process begins by obtaining a QEEG (quantitative electroencephalography) brain map. Using sensors on the scalp, we can measure and record the electrical impulses happening in your brain. The computer software then takes this information, compares it to normative data, and produces a brain map. This map tells us which areas are firing appropriately, and which are not.
We can use this information to train the brain using specific biofeedback techniques. With training, neurofeedback produces improvement in brain activity which results in reduced symptoms and improved function.
Neurofeedback can help with:
- mTBI/Concussion
- Anxiety
- ADHD
- Sleep Disorders
- Mood Disorders
- Headaches
- Concentration Problems
treatment
Functional Neurology
The brain is continuously changing in structure and function based on the environmental demands placed on it each day. Understanding the specific pathways in the brain allows our clinicians to use a variety of treatments aimed at altering brain function and structure. The Neurologic Wellness Institute offers personalized neurological rehabilitation for a variety of disorders and complaints.
Combining the applications of vestibular rehabilitation, gait rehabilitation, balance training, eye-movement exercises, visual therapy, auditory therapy, coordination training, neurofeedback, physical rehabilitation strategies, and numerous physiotherapy modalities, our treatments are designed to optimize neurological function through the principles of neuroplasticity.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a non-invasive treatment that delivers pure oxygen to the body in a pressurized environment. This increased oxygen supply enhances the body’s natural healing process, promoting brain and neurological health.
HBOT works by increasing oxygen delivery to tissues and organs, including the brain. This elevated oxygen level promotes neuroplasticity, reduces inflammation, and enhances cellular repair. It can be particularly effective for neurological conditions where oxygen flow has been compromised, such as after a traumatic brain injury or stroke.
Addressing Common Misconceptions
Some believe HBOT is only for scuba divers with decompression sickness, but its benefits extend far beyond that. HBOT has been clinically proven to aid in brain injury recovery, stroke rehabilitation, and the management of functional neurological disorders.
Scientific Support
Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of HBOT for neurological recovery. Research highlights include improvements in cognitive function, decreased post-concussion symptoms, and enhanced recovery after stroke.
Treatment Duration, Safety, and Patient Experience
A typical HBOT session lasts 60 to 90 minutes. Patients relax in a pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen. The treatment is safe, non-invasive, and generally well-tolerated. Many patients report feeling refreshed and energized after each session.

Functional Medicine
Metabolic Brain Support
A neuron needs three things to survive – oxygen, glucose (fuel from the food we eat), and stimulation. The neuron uses these three things to create energy to support normal cell functions and protect itself from stressors and disease. The food we eat and our environment can have direct impacts on these processes. The information received through each patients’ detailed health history, lifestyle evaluation, and laboratory testing determines if functional medicine counseling will be part of their management plan.
