Chiropractic Neurology for Stroke
After a stroke, there are many symptoms that can cause problems with activities of daily living. Chiropractic neurology uses specific brain-based therapies to help improve common symptoms like balance problems and movement dysfunction, as well as cognitive problems by harnessing the brain’s ability to heal itself through neuroplasticity. The purpose of this style of treatment is to improve the brain’s communications with the body.

Understanding Stroke
the tissue. This is more common than a hemorrhagic stroke. You can also have a transient ischemic attack (TIA). This would be a form of ischemic stroke that is shorter in duration, and we should use it as a warning sign. The most common symptoms to watch for are a loss of balance, a change in vision, drooping of the face, weakness in the arms, and slurred speech. How much a stroke interferes with activities depends to a great degree on the number of lifestyle factors, age, diet, gender, tobacco use, diabetes, family history, etc.
Why Symptoms Can Continue
After a stroke, there is long-term damage to the central nervous system. The brain needs to reorganize its activities to work around the area of the brain that has been damaged. The most common symptoms that patients will see after a stroke are fatigue, spasticity and nerve pain. The process of healing and reorganizing the brain through neuroplasticity can be very slow, and it gets slower over time. This slowness can be depressing, which causes further problems.
How Chiropractic Neurological Care May Help
After an in-depth neurological workup, the practitioner will be able to identify the specific areas of the brain that have reduced or lost functions. With specific adjustments and site specific exercises, we can persistently activate the brain in the areas and ways that are the most effective in waking up the brain. Neural stimulation does not necessarily fix the broken areas, but it helps the brain to make new connections around the areas that have been lost. The adjustments will remove interference in the communication pathways between the brain and the body which will improve the effectiveness of the therapeutic activities.
