By design it is the role of the brain and nervous system to control the
function of every cell, tissue organ and system in the
body and to adapt the body to its environment. That environment
includes physical, chemical, and emotional stimuli or stresses. Under
stress, these cells, tissues, and organs change without any conscious
awareness to you. After all, you don’t “feel” diabetes coming on, or cancers
growing, or blood pressure rising! You can’t even feel your bladder filling!
When the threshold is reached and your body can no longer cope compensate or
adapt, that’s when changes become more noticeable. At first they could be
subtle and you pay them no attention, then perhaps a drug is used and
finally lifestyle is altered and quality of life is sacrificed. Look at any
infirmed patient and ask yourself, is that where I want to be in the future?
Probably not, which is why want you to ask yourself how well is your brain
and nervous system working to control your internal environment? Stated
another way, how is your brain transmitting and receiving information from
every cell, tissue, organ and system to the brain? Chances are you don’t
know and you are gambling that things will remain fully functioning for a
long long time. We have an option that provides answers; our comprehensive
neurological examination by Dr. Brent Furnish.
Dr Furnish is a 1979 graduate of Logan College of Chiropractic
in St. Louis. A southern Indiana native, Dr. Furnish has practiced chiropractic
since 1980. In 1997 he chose to concentrate his practice in the challenging
but rewarding field of chiropractic functional neurology. He has completed
over 400 postgraduate hours in Clinical Chiropractic Neurology through
the renowned Carrick
Institute in Florida.

The result is a treatment that is specific for
your body and your brain. Best of all, this option is natural and
non-invasive. Thanks to this holistic approach, many patients seen
by a doctor concentrating his practice in Chiropractic Neurology
have a myriad of symptoms that can involve many systems including
limbic (emotional), sensory/motor and cognitive. It is important to
have a specific treatment plan that results in positive outcomes for
systems since they all feed off one another; The end result is a
well integrated brain and a well integrated body.
Most people associate traditional chiropractic
only with back and neck pain. Not today, not in our office! This new
neurologic model asks why is your body behaving the way it is, and
what is keeping it from correcting the problem? Given that we want
to empower the brain to communicate best with every cell, tissue,
organ and system, and not through a drugs or chemical at the
problem, many who either have not responded to traditional medical
care or would like other options to invasive/pharmaceutical
intervention might consider evaluation and treatment by our doctors
that concentrate in functional neurology.

regimen |
|
Precise treatment to correct signs and symptoms
not just a "cover up" |
|

problems as you age |
WHO IS THE IDEAL PATIENT?
1. Anyone wanting to enjoy his or her most optimum health
2. This case was especially rewarding! Helped more than his tremor!

Allen Stone
came to our office following an extensive health episode related to
his heart. The strong medications necessary to stabilize his condition
caused grave consequences in his nervous system. He called Dr. Mueller
and asked if going to a neurologist would help although he dreaded
the thought of more drugs. Dr. Mueller referred Mr. Stone to Dr. Furnish
and the rest is history. On the first visit his bowel function returned
to normal after many weeks and his non-Parkinson’s tremors stopped.
Now Allan and his wife Bette get evaluated and treated by Dr. Furnish
each month to keep the brain and the body communicating ideally! |

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Chiropractic neurology incorporates similar training to medical
neurology but differs in application, treatments and therapies.
Consequently, our examinations may seem similar but the treatment
recommendations are not. We do not use drugs to enhance your neurological
performance. Whenever possible, we recommend treatment or therapies known as
afferent stimulation. Examples of afferent stimulation include chiropractic
spinal adjustments, brain exercises, light, heat, water, sound, and electric
stimulation. When these afferent stimulation methods are specifically and
correctly applied to your case immediate results are often observed. Your
nervous system will begin to regain its optimal function and you will begin
to regain your life. A small change can make a big difference!
PAIN RELIEF WITH LASER
Dr. Furnish also incorporates the latest technology related to brain
rehabilitation and pain management. The K-Laser is a powerful Category
IV laser that will dramatically activate neuronal pools in the brain and
reduce pain transmission to the brain.
