When the problem is how the brain reads the body, standard testing often misses the underlying cause. Chiropractic neurology focuses on the complex communication loops between your physical structure and your nervous system, offering a clear path forward for adults who want measurable, drug-free results.
Understanding chiropractic neurology
When your brain struggles to accurately interpret signals from your joints, muscles, and vestibular system, everyday movements and cognitive tasks become strained. Chiropractic neurology evaluates the functional loops connecting your physical structure to your central nervous system. Operating within a dedicated chiropractic neurology center, our approach utilizes precise assessments to identify where neurological signaling falters.
Rather than focusing solely on isolated pain, we evaluate total nervous system dysregulation. Through objective tools such as a Computerized Spinal & Nervous System Analysis, we map out functional deficits. This allows us to deliver functional and integrative chiropractic solutions tailored to your unique neurological profile without relying on invasive interventions.
Who this service is for and who it is not for
This care model suits former athletes in their forties and fifties seeking evidence-based recovery from old injuries, working adults wanting a drug-free root cause for chronic tension or fatigue, and active older adults dedicated to maintaining balance and vitality. If you want measurable metrics and prefer avoiding surgical routes, this practice provides a methodical framework.
However, this service is not for everyone. It does not treat acute trauma, infectious brain diseases, or medical emergencies requiring immediate pharmacological intervention. We do not promise miracle cures or overnight transformations, and we will refer you out immediately if your presentation indicates a surgical necessity or serious pathology.
What a course of care realistically involves
A typical care plan begins with a comprehensive evaluation, integrating specialized assessments like Vestibular & Balance Rehabilitation Technology, Foot & Gait Pressure Scanning, and occasionally Functional Lab Testing to uncover metabolic contributors. We then map out distinct phases of care, starting with stabilization and moving toward neurological endurance and habituation.
Depending on your specific findings, your visits may incorporate targeted therapies such as Neurofeedback / Brain Training, Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy, and Whole-Body Vibration Therapy. You will visit our Marietta office regularly during the intensive phase, transitioning to less frequent maintenance visits as objective markers stabilize and functional independence improves.
Measuring progress and adjusting your plan
Progress in chiropractic neurology is measured through objective tracking rather than subjective guesswork. We re-evaluate key neurological and physical markers at scheduled intervals to determine how well your brain is adapting. Whether you initially sought help for Concussion & Post-Concussion Syndrome, Vertigo & Dizziness, or persistent Brain Fog & Poor Mental Clarity, data dictates our next steps.
If objective markers fail to improve within a reasonable window, we reassess the strategy. We examine whether secondary factors like sleep disruption, metabolic stress, or unrecognized spinal restrictions are interfering with your progress. Care plans are dynamic and adapt to your body's actual response rate.
Addressing complex challenges and limitations
Many patients arrive at our Marietta location after struggling with long-standing conditions such as Balance Problems & Fall Risk, Sensory Processing & Developmental Delay, or chronic ADHD & Focus Challenges. While targeted neurological rehabilitation offers significant functional gains, it is important to understand its limitations. Care cannot reverse irreversible neurodegenerative damage or replace urgent medical care.
When red flags arise, such as sudden focal motor deficits, severe unexplained headaches, or acute trauma, we immediately coordinate with medical specialists. Transparency is central to our Plasker Chiropractic philosophy, ensuring you always know what your care can and cannot achieve.

Questions patients ask
Before you book, the honest answers
How does chiropractic neurology differ from traditional chiropractic care?
While traditional chiropractic care primarily focuses on spinal alignment and biomechanical joint function, chiropractic neurology places equal emphasis on how the central and peripheral nervous systems process and integrate sensory information. We use specialized neurological assessments to guide targeted, non-invasive physical and sensory rehabilitation.
Will I need to take medications or undergo surgery during my care?
No. Chiropractic neurology is entirely drug-free and non-surgical. Our objective is to stimulate neuroplasticity and improve nervous system regulation through specific physical, sensory, and functional exercises. We work alongside your medical physicians if medication management is required.
How do I know if my neurological symptoms require immediate medical attention?
Certain symptoms require emergency medical evaluation rather than outpatient chiropractic neurology. These include sudden loss of vision, acute confusion, rapid-onset weakness on one side of the body, severe progressive headaches, or acute head trauma with loss of consciousness. We screen for these red flags during your initial consultation.
How long does a typical course of functional neurological rehabilitation take?
The duration of care varies depending on the chronicity and complexity of your condition. Most active care plans span several months, featuring regular in-office visits and daily home integration exercises. Re-examinations are performed periodically to track objective improvements and adjust the timeline.
