Birmingham Functional Neurology, LLC Offers Individualized Brain Rehabilitation Based On Patient’s Unique Neurological Phenomenology
Birmingham Functional Neurology, the brain rehabilitation facility owned by board-certified Functional Neurologist Dr. Brandon B. Arrieta, applies clinical neuroscience to locate the specific compromised areas of the brain and nervous system determining the root cause of a patient’s symptomatology.
“Many neurological conditions are not due to hard lesions such as a brain bleed, a tumor, or degeneration for example. These conditions are not going to show up in diagnostic imaging. They result from areas of the brain not functioning appropriately, and the only way to diagnose these conditions is the administration of an extremely thorough bedside examination of the brain and nervous system. Unfortunately, most patients with these neurological conditions are either told that there is nothing wrong, that it is a psychological condition, or even passed around from specialist to specialist each giving the patient a different diagnosis,” says Dr. Arrieta. “While we rehabilitate voluminous manifestations of neurological compromise, these individuals have come to represent a substantial portion of our patient base. At Birmingham Functional Neurology, immediately following our bedside examination, we explain in detail what areas of the patient’s brain are compromised, in what way they are compromised, and how collectively they are causing the patient’s symptomatology with a high degree of specificity.”
Dr. Arrieta explains that every person’s brain has a neurological makeup that is unique to that individual from the moment they are born. Furthermore, it is continuously changing from moment to moment throughout every single day. Therefore, while two patients may have been given the same diagnosis, the specific physiological circumstance and concomitants of those two patients’ brains will be different.
Consequently, no two patient rehabilitation programs can be the same and must be uniquely tailored to each individual. Additionally, as you are rehabilitating the brain, you are changing its physiology. Your rehabilitation methodology must, therefore, be an extremely fluid process and constantly modified as the brain’s physiology changes.
Dr. Arrieta first educates every patient on the normal function of brain areas relevant to them, then illustrates how those compromised brain areas are misfunctioning, and lastly, he explains how these dysfunctional areas collectively result in their symptomatology.
At Birmingham Functional Neurology, LLC, the array of neurological conditions addressed are extensive, including Traumatic Brain Injury, Balance Disorders, Migraines/Headaches, Movement Disorders, Autonomic Dysfunction, Neurogenic Gastrointestinal Disorders, Stroke Rehabilitation, Neurobehavioral Disorders, post-COVID/Long Haulers Syndrome, Autism, Athlete Enhancement, Anxiety, ADHD, and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) as examples.
The common approach to treating neurological conditions is to treat the resulting symptoms, usually achieved through medication. Unfortunately, medication will often either exacerbate neurological conditions, or elicit additional neurological concomitants that result in new symptoms. Additionally, most medications that do provide relief from symptoms are simply a band-aid for the actual underlying condition still present.
At Birmingham Functional Neurology, clinical neuroscience is utilized to first determine the different compromised locations of the brain and nervous system and the manner that they are misfunctioning. It is then subsequently employed to target, excite, or inhibit, and rehabilitate those areas with remarkable precision facilitating the restoration of the patient’s nervous system and reclamation of their quality of life.
