What is a chiropractic neurologist?
A chiropractic neurologist is a chiropractor who has undergone at least 2 years of (300 hours) of post doctoral training and taken a written examination and oral examination from the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. A board certified chiropractic neurologist will often designate this certification by having "DACNB" follow their DC (which stands for doctorate of chiropractic). Other designations from older boards may exist (such as DACAN or DABCN). A chiropractic neurologist is a chiropractic specialist that focuses treating disease and dysfunction of the nervous system. This chiropractic neurologist attempts to do so without the use of drugs or surgery, although this doctor may refer to a medical doctor for co-management. Many chiropractic neurologists attempt to stimulate areas of weakness in the nervous system by utilizing different sensory based treatments. The chiropractic neurologist is often trained in many diagnostic techniques that are identical to that of the medical neurologist - such as nerve conduction studies, needle electromyography, videonystagmography, neuroimaging, or a carefully focused neurological exam. The chiropractic neurologist can use this information to help determine the best treatment plan for the patient and a referral for co-management with a medical professional is necessary. Amongst chiropractic neurologists, there are sub-specialties that include: electrodiagnostic specialties, childhood development disorders, or vestibular rehabilitation. These sub-specialties are certified via examination from the American College of Functional Neurology.
