Nervous System Conditions Nerve/Neuro Problems Treatment Traditionally patients are referred to a neurologist, psychiatrist, psychologist and/or neuro-surgeon for various neurological conditions involving the brain and nervous system. All of these medical disciplines and specialists have their roles to play in health care. Now in addition, care with Chiropractic Neurology Consultants offers an alternative drug free and non-surgical approach to the treatment and management of various brain and nervous system conditions. The Chiropractic Neurology Consultant is a thoroughly trained specialist and uses various non-invasive tests to identify areas of dysfunction within the nervous system and to rehabilitate these areas using specific techniques and exercises. The techniques and individually highly specific exercises, are tailored for each person and do not involve the use of drugs or surgery. These applications help to enhance the ability of the nervous system to process information effectively, and to optimise the function and survivability of nerve cells that are challenged by disease or poor health. Why the Central Nervous System is so important? The brain and the nervous system is most important because they control and ensure the repair or replacement and correct functioning of every organ, gland, muscle, bone and cell in the body. When the nervous system is not functioning optimally, it is not unusual for problems or dysfunction to arise in the body. This may include problems with the following: Hearing (Auditory System) Blood Flow and heart issues (Cardiovascular System) Digestion, Bowel & Waste Elimination (Gastro-intestinal System) Joints, joint function & Muscles (Musculo-skeletal) Lungs and Breathing (Respiratory System) Urinary and Reproduction (Uro-genital & Reproductive Systems) Eyes and Sight (Visual System) Balance and Spatial awareness (Vestibular System) TO MAKE AN ENQUIRY OR APPOINTMENT, CALL OUR FRIENDLY TEAM in Greensborough, Vic 03 9432 4644
