Treatments
Neurorehabilitation means rehabilitation for problems of the nervous system. It is an established field, used after stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other neurological conditions. Our version is a drug-free, exercise-based approach: precise, appropriately designed exercises meant to challenge specific parts of the nervous system. This page explains what that means, where we fit, and what to expect. It is general information, not a diagnosis.
Serious neurological injury and illness need medical care first. That includes emergency care for stroke, head injury, and spinal cord injury, and rehabilitation led by physicians and therapists. Dr. Wright is a Doctor of Chiropractic with advanced training in functional neurology. We offer care as a complement to that team.

The nervous system can adapt. Researchers call this neuroplasticity: the brain's ability to change how it functions in response to experience. Rehabilitation uses this in many ways, from stroke therapy to balance retraining. Our exercises are designed to challenge the networks we find struggling in an evaluation, so the nervous system can practice working more smoothly. How much any one person recovers depends on the condition, the injury, and many other factors.

No surgery or medication
Our care does not involve surgery or prescription medication. If you take medicine for a condition, keep taking it as your doctor directs. We do not advise stopping or changing medication.
A plan starts with the evaluation described on our Neurological Exam & Evaluation page. From there we choose exercises to match what we find, review progress, and change the plan as you improve. Exercises are usually done at home as well as in the office. We tell you honestly if we think something else would serve you better.
