Functional Neurology
at New Dominion
At New Dominion, we specialize in Functional Neurology, a cutting-edge field of healthcare dedicated to assessing, quantifying, and rehabilitating the human nervous system.
Our approach is designed to promote neuroplasticity—the brain’s natural ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections—and to improve neurological integrity and optimize brain function.
What Is Functional Neurology?
Functional Neurology focuses on the root causes of neurological issues using sensory, motor, cognitive, and metabolic-based therapies. Rather than addressing isolated symptoms, we evaluate the nervous system as a whole, allowing us to create personalized treatment plans that target specific brain areas and promote lasting, positive changes.
How Does Functional Neurology Work?
Your nervous system is the control center of your body, coordinating health and function through seamless communication between the brain and body. When this communication is disrupted, it can lead to what we call Functional Disconnection Syndrome (FDS).
FDS occurs when there is an imbalance in the development and communication between the right and left brain hemispheres.
Our goal at New Dominion is to reconnect the brain hemispheres through customized protocols designed for each individual. By restoring balance, we aim to improve overall neurological function and quality of life.
