Watch a Functional Neurological Examination

A typical neurological examination tests for pathology or disease processes. A functional neurological examination also tests for pathology but also tries to determine the underlying reasons for lost function. After determining which areas of the brain that are not functioning properly - exercises and tasks can be tailor made to help restore this functional loss.

Love it. Finally the idea of chiropractic evolves gets its true shape.

[@lesliemcallister1963]

Please refer to standard medical Neuroanatomy and neurological examination textbooks for the significance of clinical findings that are incorrectly described in this video. Most of the statements are wrong. For example, the pupil reflex is not controlled by the cortex. There are several causes of a head tilt, the least of which has anything to do with the cerebellum. Also, it is Romberg's sign. Not Rhomberg. Regarding the young woman with Aide's pupil, there is no treatment needed. Her friend noticed it while they were shopping. This isn't a symptom she was suffering from. She does need close follow-up by a medical Neuro-Ophthalmologist though.

the more infor we can get along with a medical plan helps us understnad more about our body's and help's emotional wise knowing you have discovered the underlining problem my 1st adjustment ever was in the 80's and i have loved it since no operation's required thank you !

Love this science. Went through this testing and although I have different diagnosis the end result is amazing. I am finding the exercises offer so much relief.

Great video Doc, thanks for sharing

[@beaudoubleday300]

Good job on breaking it down to easy to understand basic concepts! The general public can follow this much easier than explaining the mesolimbic - soft lesion within the left ponto-mesencephalic area.

Hi I have been diagnosed with functional neurological disorder and having bad seziures what would be the best treatment Thanks

[@RubenSerranoCHEK]

Doc, did you get your training at the Carrick Institute?

[@grahamkeil2253]

Thank you

[@AWal31994]

Why would the head tilt toward the strong cerebellum? Everyone I’ve learned from says the postural compensation is toward the weak side.

@@TheBrainCenter my wife started having seizures determined to be "pseudo seizures" (jeez I hate that term). She progressively lost vision in her right eye the more she had (dozens each day, for the first 1.5 weeks, tonic-clonic type mostly). Now she cannot see with her right eye..pupil reacts and everything...is this more like conversion disorder? Obviously not looking for diagnosis here but maybe help in a step in the right direction?

Where are you located? All of the neurologists I have seen have just determined that I have Functional Neurological Disorder but the only treatments recommended are physical therapy and CBT. The treatment isn't customized for my individual needs and it doesn't seem like they are even aware of my specific needs, which is incredibly frustrating.

Functional Med doctors are more likely to check your nutrition status, food alergies and vitamin deficiencies through complete blood, urine and hair testing before prescribing symptom reducing pharma. Less anxiety for the patient.

[@smbrTube]

Where does cervical dystonia play into this?

[@loveconquersall143]

I agree. Or just cervical issues in general.

The Emotional dysfunction creates the physical discomfort as an output or release! I choose EFT & Ho'oponopono as an alternative, BUT at least theirs now a LEGIT medical/neuro/science perspective that works without Surgery Doctors teasing!! MOST times the dysfunctions begins with the UNSEEN till the mind can no longer contain it, than it manifest thru the physical....and that sucks!!

[@violinist86]

Great video doc, having taken chiropractic neurology in school this hemisphericity is starting to make sense, but one question. I have a patient in the clinic that has weak right cerebellum and the right pupil is larger that the left. Does that mean a right cerebellar and right cortical weakness? What side would you adjust? (Did not do OPK, saccedes, or pursuit by the way)

Functional neurology better known as hysteria or conversion disorder. Don’t get labeled with that.

You are a chiropractor not a neurologist so just stop 🛑 go crack some backs.

[@helendropinski3754]

Sorry, not all patients agree with you. Big pharma is all neurologists Ive dealt with know, 3 years still no help or answers. Function in humans involve more than just nerves its complex so all possibilities need to be investigated. How many functional problems do you have? Have MDs helped you.
