How is a chiropractic neurologist different from a medical neurologist?
A chiropractic neurologist uses your body and the environment
and the technique of adjustment to bring about improvements in your health. The
chiropractic neurologist uses the muscular skeletal system as it interacts with
the neurological system to improve your quality of life. The medical
neurologist uses medications and refers for surgery. Chiropractic neurologists
do not do neither of these, they do not prescribe medications but may recommend
non-prescription supplements.
Is the ACNB the only
chiropractic neurology certification board?
No. However, the ACNB is the only chiropractic neurology board
recognized by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) and, equally
important, the only one accredited by the National Commission for Certifying
Agencies (NCCA). This is a massive accreditation of the certifying program that
covers everything from governance to statistical analysis of the tests and
recertification. The ACNB undergoes an annual review from the NCCA. The purpose
of certification by the ACNB is the protection of the public.
How does Chiropractic
care improve my health?
Chiropractic care is
not a cure for anything. Chiropractic care puts your brain back in touch with
your body. Innovative research now shows that poor spinal function contributes
to poor nervous system function.Chiropractic care may help to:
· restore joint function and normal movement
· reduce inflammation which results when pain
receptors activate
· reduce pain by correcting function and by
improving brain chemistry
· prevent risk factors for degeneration or
arthritis, by maintaining the normal range of motion your joints
· enhance proprioceptive feedback, which
improves your ability to respond to your environment,
· enhance nerve transmission and brain
communication, which improves the function and integrity of your whole nervous
system,
· improve everyday performance, because the
spine influences posture, balance, sense perception, learning, memory and the
function of all your organs
