Neurodevelopment and the Developmental Pyramid
One of the most common questions we get asked is “Can you help with _____ symptom”? From our perspective, you can truly fill in that blank with anything: speech, delayed walking, meltdowns, anxiety, constant fidgeting and squirming, OCD, irrational thoughts in behaviors that don’t match, trouble sleeping, night terrors.
What to Expect at Your First Synergy Appointment
At Synergy, our unique approach begins day one — by blending functional neurology and functional medicine. Your initial evaluation will be unlike most doctor's visits. You’ll spend a full hour with both of our doctors, discussing everything from your medical history and symptoms to your childhood, school experiences, coordination, and more. We’ll also probably check you for a tongue tie, but we’ll save the ‘why’ behind that for your eval.
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is becoming a major player as a powerful treatment option for various medical conditions. This high-concentration oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which allows the body to absorb more oxygen than it would at normal atmospheric pressure.
What Kinds of Symptoms and Diagnoses do Functional Neurologists Treat?
This blog post will explore the types of symptoms and diagnoses commonly addressed through functional neurology, including developmental delays, sensory processing disorders, and emotional regulation challenges. We’ll delve into how functional neurology seeks to identify underlying neurological dysfunctions and restore balance, ultimately aiming to improve not just behavior, but overall growth, development, and well-being. For pediatric patients, we’d like to help shed light on the diagnoses that we could help manage, and the strategies we use to create meaningful change.
What Makes Functional Neurology Different?
Functional neurology is a well-rounded, multi-modal approach based around the brain's amazing ability to adapt and change. Using this concept, known as neuroplasticity, functional neurology aims to identify the root causes of symptoms, and then build the brain's framework upon the new, healthier and more solid foundation.
What is Functional Neurology?
Functional neurology is a brain-based therapy approach to physical, neurological, behavioral, and developmental challenges.
