NeuroAxis Health's Innovative Approach to Functional Neurology
NeuroAxis Health, founded by Dr. Rachman Chung, DC, DACNB, FACFN, is at the forefront of innovative and evidence-based approaches for treating complex neurological conditions. With 17 years of experience, Dr. Chung and the NeuroAxis team are committed to providing personalized and respectful care to help patients achieve and maintain optimal health and well-being. One of the key steps in their patient care journey is the New Patient Functional Neurology Evaluation.
Understanding the Functional Neurology Evaluation
The Functional Neurology Evaluation at NeuroAxis Health is a comprehensive assessment designed to measure the function of the brain and its processing of environmental stimuli through sensory, motor, and cognitive systems.
This evaluation is the first step towards customizing a treatment plan that selectively targets, strengthens, and improves overall function.
7 Key Areas of Brain Function
The evaluation examines seven key areas of brain function and physical performance, employing various tests and technologies to provide a thorough understanding of the patient's neurological health:

Brainwaves (Quantitative Electroencephalography - qEEG)
● Non-invasively measures brainwaves from the surface of the head.
● Identifies areas that may be functioning too slow, too fast, or not
communicating efficiently.
● Excellent for identifying issues with sleep, mood, and cognitive functioning.
Cognition (Computerized Neuro-Cognitive Testing)
● Measures attention, concentration, memory, visual processing, problem-solving, and more.
Visual-Oculomotor (Video-Oculography)
● Measures voluntary eye movements and central pathways in the brain involved in visual processing and cognitive function.
Vestibular (Video-Oculography)
● Measures reflex eye movements from the inner ear involved with balance, equilibrium, and postural reflexes.
Somatosensory (Physical & Neurological Exam)
● Conducts a comprehensive musculoskeletal, orthopedic, and neurological exam.
Autonomic Function (Autonomic Testing)
● Evaluates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
● Assesses how the body responds to stress, recovery, and blood flow to the
brain and body.
Physiology (Laboratory Testing)
Laboratory tests are ordered based on individual needs
There are numerous lab markers that are essential parameters for good health. When these are out of normal range, they can significantly limit your recovery.
Customized Treatment Plan
Following the Functional Neurology Evaluation, the NeuroAxis team customizes a treatment plan that integrates various therapies, such as neuromodulation techniques, vestibular and neurological rehabilitation, chiropractic care, biofeedback, and more. The goal is to promote neuroplasticity and optimize overall performance.
