At Heal Thyself Institute, we take a brain-first approach to care. Functional neurology focuses on how the brain and nervous system communicate with the body and how even subtle imbalances can lead to dizziness, focus challenges, developmental delays, or chronic health concerns.
Our comprehensive assessment process uncovers the root of these imbalances through eye-tracking, balance, reflex, and coordination testing. By understanding how your brain processes information, we can tailor a plan that restores optimal function.
A functional neurology assessment lays the foundation for individualized care helping us design a program that supports healing, growth, and long-term nervous system resilience.
Functional neurology allows us to look beyond symptoms and observe how different regions of the brain communicate.
At Heal Thyself Institute, we combine these insights with chiropractic care, reflex integration, and sensory-based therapies to help re-train the nervous system in a safe, structured way.
Every patient, child or adult, receives a customized plan based on detailed neurological findings. This ensures care that is not only effective, but sustainable, supporting long-term growth and self-regulation.
A standard neurological exam often looks for disease, injury, or structural damage. Functional neurology goes a step further by evaluating how well different parts of your nervous system are working and communicating. This allows us to find subtle imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms even when standard testing looks “normal.”
Children and adults alike can benefit. We often work with children experiencing developmental delays, learning challenges, or behavioral concerns, as well as adults dealing with dizziness, headaches, brain fog, or recovery after injury or illness. The assessment helps uncover what’s driving symptoms so care can be better tailored.
No, every assessment is personalized. Depending on your needs, we may focus more on reflexes, balance, eye movements, or cognitive function. The goal is to use the tools that give us the clearest picture of your nervous system, not to run unnecessary tests.
You’ll receive a clear explanation of the findings and a plan designed just for you. This may include in-office therapies, home exercises, or functional medicine testing if needed. Our goal is to give you a roadmap for restoring balance in the brain and nervous system.
Dr Amadeo is AMAZING at what he does! He was super intuitive, detailed, and knowledgeable about issues I didn’t even know that I had! This was my first session but I can’t wait to go to the next treatments. I recommend him to anyone with any sort of behavioral, neuro-psychological, or even physical condition.
