Neurological Disorders

Disorders of the nervous system can either be very localized or they can create a vast array of symptoms.  Often times the symptoms are confusing to patients and doctors, hindering an appropriate diagnosis.  A person may be experiencing anything from numbness and tingling to migraine headaches to depression and anxiety.  These symptoms are all an indication that there is irritation within the nervous system at some level. 

The key to alleviating these conditions is to properly diagnose the LLL (Longitudinal Level of the Lesion), or simply, determine if the numbness in your hand (for example) is coming from your wrist, your spine, your brain stem, thalamus or cortex.  Once the diagnosis is made, treatment will commence and re-examinations will be performed periodically to monitor your progress.  Portland Chiropractic Neurology is advanced at diagnosing and treating these types of conditions in Portland, Maine.
