Basic Chiropractic

Basic chiropractic is the manipulation of the position

of the bones of the spine and appendicular skeleton.

Show here is low back side posture repositioning and

neck vertebrae repositioning. The movement of bones

of the body decompresses the nerves of the body and

allows for reduced pain, and improved function of the

muscles organs or functions at the end of the nerve.

Basically, bones out of place compress nerves and

cause pain. Whatever is at the end of the compressed

nerve doesn’t work right. Bones repositioned to

normal position, decompresses nerves, reduces pain

and allow for whatever is at the end of the nerve to

work properly.

Basic chiropractic is performed by almost all trained

chiropractors. It is the mechanical correction of bones

position without addressing the control centers of the

nervous system to modify the body. This modality of

treatment works well for most condition of

mechanical injury or derangement.

Typical conditions treated with basic chiropractic are:

Wellness care

Neck pain

Low back pain

Shoulder pain

Headache

Strain and sprain injuries

Your basic chiropractic visit begins with a review of

health history and physical examination. Examination

with reveal most likely diagnosis and determine

whether additional testing or imaging is needed. If no

further examination is required your will receive a

basic chiropractic adjustment to bones which are

misaligned or compressing nerves.

Contact us to schedule your initial visit. First

examination generally takes between 15-20 minutes.

Chiropractic Neurology

Chiropractic Board Certified Neurologists are

chiropractors who have continued with advanced post

graduate training and testing to be able to provide all

the standard chiropractic services and additional

treatments utilizing receptor based therapies.

Receptor based therapists utilize brain and nervous

system stimulation to modify and augment basic

chiropractic treatments. Currently there are less than

400 Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologists in the

United States.

This is the above down approach to neuromuscular

skeletal disorders where by the brain modifies the

tone, amplitude, and gain of the muscles and their

associated reflexes.

Chiropractic Neurology is a different approach to body

modification utilizing the power of the nervous system

to alter function in the body.

Chiropractic neurologists, medical neurologists and

neurosurgeons differ greatly in their methods of

treatment.

The medical neurologist will prescribe medications or

injections. The neurosurgeon uses surgery to correct a

condition. The chiropractic neurologist uses

medication free and non-surgical treatment methods.

Many conditions of the brain and nervous system do

not respond well to aggressive interventions such as

drug therapy or surgery. Additionally, the drug

therapies used by medical neurologists, and the

surgical interventions of the neurosurgeon often carry

increased risks for serious complications or dangerous

side effects.

In addition to physical examination methods,

chiropractic neurologists may use:

MRI – magnetic resonance imaging

CT – computerized tomography

X-ray

Ultrasound Sonograms

Bloodwork Analysis

NCS – Nerve conduction studies

Other neurology assessments such as VNG,

SSEP etc

Chiropractic neurology treatment methods are safe,

effective and can include a wide variety of modalities

such as:

Chiropractic adjustments by hand or by

instrument to the spine and/or extremities

Eye exercises

Balance and coordination activities

Cognitive exercises and activities

Sensory training that may include light, sound,

smell, or touch

Physical exercises

Breathing exercises

Nutritional modification

And many others…

The distinguishing factor is the paradigm, or approach

that a chiropractic neurologist uses toward diagnosis

and treatment. In addition to evaluating for

pathologies, a chiropractic neurologist evaluates for

subtle changes in the function of the nervous system

and how these changes influence the musculoskeletal

presentation of the body. It is this expertise in

detecting subtle changes in function that sets a

chiropractic neurologist apart from other

chiropractors and specialists.

How does one become a chiropractic neurologist?

As in all medical specialties, one must complete

undergraduate work and earn a professional degree

before entering into specialty training. Upon

completion of undergraduate training, the

chiropractic neurology student must then attend a

college of chiropractic. There he must complete a

required minimum of 4,200 hours of combined

classroom, laboratory, and clinical experience.

After earning the doctorate degree and passing

rigorous state and national boards, the student must

attend a “program of instruction that is approved by

the continuing education committee of the

Commission for the Accreditation of Graduate

Education in Neurology of a minimum of 300 credit

hours”. Dr. Darner attended the prestigious Carrick

Institute for Graduate Studies, and The International

Association of Functional Neurology and

Rehabilitation for his post graduate neurology

training.

The student must then pass stringent written and oral

examinations given by the American Chiropractic

Neurology Board – ACNB.org before receiving board

certification in chiropractic neurology. Chiropractic

neurologists are required to maintain their level of

expertise by reading 24 current journal articles as well

as attending an additional 60 hours of educational

training per year.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal Decompression is a highly effective treatment

for neck and low back disc inflammation and

herniation conditions. The process is to apply gentle

progressive decompression to the neck or low back in

one pound increments to achieve a negative vacuum

pressure inside the discs of the spine. This effective

vacuum pressure draws back within the central discs

the extruded material or bulging discs.

With repetitive decompression sessions drawing the

disc material inside the central disc, the herniation

heals and contains the extruded material with the disc

and compression of the nerves is resolved.

The symptoms of disc compression generally involve

neck or back pain with radiation of the pain into arms

or legs. As the decompression therapy is applied, the

arm and leg pain resolves first then later the neck and

low back pain resolves over a period of days or a few

weeks.

Decompression can also be applied to the wrists for

effective treatment of some carpal tunnel syndromes.

We utilize the most modern digital Chattanooga and

Titan decompression equipment available today. Call

us for a test session and see what decompression can

do for you.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy dates back thousands of years in

ancient China. The art and science of massage

includes many techniques and methods in including

Swedish relaxation, athletic deep tissue, myofascial

release, pre-natal, cupping, hot stone, and others. The

highly trained therapists at our offices utilize

numerous techniques based on the client condition

and the session objective.

Therapy starts with the client interview including

review of health history and body systems. The

therapist will discuss with you treatment options

including techniques and duration best indicated for

your condition. Regular sessions of massage therapy

can dramatically change your muscle tone, tension,

posture and circulation as well as other organ and

nervous system benefits.

Clinical indications for massage therapy includes

general stress relief from our work a day world as well

as muscle, ligament, tendons and circulation problems

anywhere in the body. Massage can be received as a

standalone therapy or integrates well with a wellness

program of basic chiropractic, massage, and

reflexology. Four therapists on duty six days a week.

Our massages are delivered in relaxing, clean, quiet

environments as see here on the previous page. The

tables are heavily padded for your comfort with table

warmer pads for your enjoyment.

Peripheral & Diabetic Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to your

peripheral nerves, often causes weakness, numbness

and pain, usually in your hands and feet. It can also

affect other areas of your body such as the face and

head. Your peripheral nervous system sends

information from your brain and spinal cord (central

nervous system) to the rest of your body. Peripheral

neuropathy can result from traumatic injuries,

infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes and

exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is

diabetes mellitus.

People with peripheral neuropathy generally describe

the pain as stabbing, burning or tingling. In many

cases, symptoms improve, especially if caused by a

treatable condition.

28

MyNewSpine.com

Spinal Nerve Compression Neuropathy

Typical Diabetic Neuropathy of the feet

29

MyNewSpine.com

Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include:

Gradual onset of numbness, prickling or tingling

in your feet or hands, which can spread upward

into your legs and arms

Sharp, jabbing, throbbing, freezing or burning

pain

Extreme sensitivity to touch

Lack of coordination and falling

Muscle weakness or paralysis if motor nerves

are affected

Causes of neuropathies include:

Alcoholism. Poor dietary choices made by

people with alcoholism can lead to vitamin

deficiencies.

Autoimmune diseases. These include Sjogren's

syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-

Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory

demyelinating polyneuropathy and necrotizing

vasculitis.

30

MyNewSpine.com

31

MyNewSpine.com

Diabetes. More than half the people with

diabetes develop some type of neuropathy.

Exposure to poisons. Toxic substances include

heavy metals or chemicals.

Medications. Certain medications, especially

those used to treat cancer (chemotherapy), can

cause peripheral neuropathy.

Infections. These include certain viral or

bacterial infections, including Lyme disease,

shingles, Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis C, leprosy,

diphtheria and HIV.

Inherited disorders. Disorders such as Charcot-

Marie-Tooth disease are hereditary types of

neuropathy.

Trauma or pressure on the nerve. Traumas,

such as from motor vehicle accidents, falls or

sports injuries, can sever or damage peripheral

nerves. Nerve pressure can result from having a

cast or using crutches or repeating a motion

such as typing many times.

Tumors. Growths, cancerous (malignant) and

noncancerous (benign), can develop on the

nerves or press nerves. Also, polyneuropathy can

32

MyNewSpine.com

33

MyNewSpine.com

arise as a result of some cancers related to the

body's immune response. These are a form of

paraneoplastic syndrome.

Vitamin deficiencies. B vitamins — including B-1,

B-6 and B-12 — vitamin E and niacin are crucial

to nerve health.

Other diseases. These include kidney disease,

liver disease, connective tissue disorders and an

underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

Our neuropathy program address these conditions

with intensive therapy of 4-5 modalities designed to

stimulation the neuro – axis from the brain, spinal

column, nerve root, through the extremity to the

hands and feet. This full neuraxis stimulation

promotes axonal flow removing waste products from

the nerves and supplying nutritional support to the

damaged nerve areas at the same time. Modality

selection for your condition is based on presentation

and the underlying cause for your neuropathy.

34

MyNewSpine.com

35

MyNewSpine.com

Modalities might include some of the following

Vestibular brain activation

SSEP brain stimulation

OKN visual saccades or pursuits

BEMER electromagnetic field PEMF therapy

Spinal decompression

Chiropractic neurology

Extremity joint manipulation

Cold laser

High intensity thermal ultrasound

biphasic square wave nerve stimulator

Vibration therapy

Massage Therapy

Reflexology

Heat therapies

Nutritional interventions

Treatments are delivered intensively. Daily or twice

daily for 12 sessions then reevaluated for progress.

We generally perform nerve conduction studies to

assess the speed latencies of the nerve fibers directly.

This eliminates subjective error in reported function.

The nerve conduction testing is also a specialty

trained skill in which we are highly experienced.

Contact us for a consultation to see if this program is

right for you.

for developmental delay. Apologies to the neurologists

and functional neurologists reading this text for some

generalizations and assumptions will be made for

simplicity and understanding that don’t precisely

importance of having understanding of condition

outweighs some liberties he takes in describing the

neurology and how it functions. He appreciates those of

you were working in the field of functional neurology and

gives thanks and recognition to mentors and colleagues.

Thank you for your interest in learning more about developmental delay concepts. The concepts here are

very rapidly changing in scope and nature. I He has

endeavored to present a simplified way of thinking and

understanding one’s condition so that you may talk to

your doctor and have a do it yourself option for home

therapy for yourself or loved one. The hope for this book

is it will significantly reduce the amount of confusion you

have concerning your condition. Many of the

neurologically complex circuitry and pathways have been

removed from the discussion. An attempt to explain

conditions and how the nervous system physiology

works in a way that is understandable for most patients.

He will eliminate for the most part developmental

embryological and unnecessarily complicated electrical

schematics for the purposes of understanding as you go

through the material. He will identify more generally the

nature of the condition and encourage you not to become

frustrated, but to understand that the nervous system in

its grand complexities can also be understood in a

simplicity. Effective functional neurological treatment

protocols can be highly successful. Current medical

neurological approaches of drug interventions and

symptomatic relief are not the only options in

development delay treatment. He will tell you factually

that there exists an innate intelligence in the body to alter

both its function and structure. It just needs a bit of

targeted stimulation to resume normal function. The

companion therapy manual for this book is also available

on Amazon.com and contains all the evaluation and

therapy protocols for developmental delay conditions

described in this book. You will after reading this book

have a good grasp of developmental delay conditions,

the primitive reflexes which need therapy, the

hemisphere of the brain in delay in you or your loved one
