Most people associate chiropractic only with back and neck pain. However, recent advances in brain imaging and research strongly support the specialty of chiropractic neurology. This advanced branch of chiropractic offers new hope for those who have not had results from conventional treatment. Ongoing education and advanced training allows Dr. Chiappino to assess and provide treatments for difficult, chronic and complex disorders involving the nervous system.

The brain controls every function of the body and mind — from thoughts, to heart rate, to muscle tone. Most people have a dominant side (hemisphere) of the brain, which may be reflected in one’s personality. Distinctive traits may be obvious, or they may be more subtle to the untrained eye. For example, a person may be inherently artistic or creative, such as a musician or artist, as opposed to being analytical or precise, such as a physicist or mathematician. Chiropractic Neurologists are specialists in analyzing these differences as they may relate to one’s symptoms. During the evaluation, particular attention is given to the brain and these relationships.
