    Functional Integrative Neurology

    Integrative neurology views the patient as a whole to better understand what treatments will work for each patient. It combines conventional allopathic treatment practices, including surgeries, injections, and physical therapy, with alternative medicine practices such as acupuncture, meditation, and medicinal plant supplements.

    Integrative functional neurology works with the patients on a case-to-case basis by utilizing conventional methods when necessary and alternative medicine practices to prove more effective. Doctors and neurologists use functional integrative neurology practices to heal patients suffering from neurological diseases and disorders such as strokes, migraines, seizures, and epilepsy, to name a few.

    Due to the incorporation of alternative medicine practices in integrative functional neurology, many doubt its legitimacy. Although not a lot of scientific research can practically be done to prove its legitimacy with absolute accuracy, there have been a large number of successful cases. Some of these cases may have been due to the placebo effect but happy recovering neurological patients is no small feat but rather one that needs to be celebrated. Since integrative neurology is a personalized treatment, the patient must trust the process and the neurologist for it to work.
