Module 108: Functional Neurology Bootcamp
By: Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies

Course Description

If you have been curious about Functional Neurology and didn’t know where to begin, this program is for you. This 2-day program gives you an excellent introduction to the Functional Neurology paradigm in healthcare.

Attending clinicians will learn refined neurology and physical examination skills and a brain-based treatment model for optimizing the nervous system for improving human function. If your patients have nervous systems, adding Functional Neurology will supercharge your clinical outcomes!


SCHOLARS WILL LEARN
  • Learn the model of Functional Neurology in healthcare.
  • How to apply the fundamental concepts in Functional Neurology to optimize your patient’s nervous system function.
  • How to leverage neuroscience to combat chronic pain
  • How understanding Neuron Theory changes your treatment approach.
  • How Transneuronal Degeneration & Diaschisis Influence Nervous System Optimization
  • How to apply the 3 Pillars of Nervous System Optimization.
  • What it means to take a “Brain-Based Approach” and how to target specific regions of the nervous system.
  • How to use the chief complaint to localize areas of brain dysfunction.
  • The Good & Bad of Neuronal Plasticity
  • Clinical Applications- How to leverage the Five domains of Nervous System Optimization
    • Visual, Vestibular, Somatosensory, Cognitive & Autonomic
WHAT WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DO AFTER COMPLETING THIS PROGRAM
  • Results – Leverage your understanding of Functional Neurology to achieve better patient outcomes.
  • Exam techniques – Examine your patient to determine the area of nervous system decompensation and which domain of nervous system optimization to focus on.
  • Treatment certainty – Decide which therapeutic tool is best warranted for a patient’s condition.
  • Measure how your treatment approach impacts nervous system function and adjust that approach to maximize outcomes if needed.
