What is functional neurology? Typically, a functional neurologist serves in the same consulting manner as a medical neurologist.
The difference is that the therapies of a functional neurologist do not include drugs or surgery.
At Seacrest, we see patients with movement disorders, dystonia, post-stroke rehabilitation,
and radiculopathy or nerve entrapment syndromes that are consequences of peripheral or central types of lesions.
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the
cause and prevention of disease." - Thomas A. Edison

Functional Neurology Dr. Rogers is a board certified functional neurologist, which means he has completed years of extra
study to become a specialist in treating neurological-based health problems without the use of drugs or surgery. These conditions include:
When you visit a functional neurologist, you'll be asked about your current concerns, past health,
lifestyle, job and family. Then, a thorough neurologic exam is performed to evaluate:
The exam is followed by therapeutic trial — a possible treatment is used, and then
you are retested to see its affect.
Treatments.
Nerve cells need fuel and stimulation to thrive, so treatment uses activities that have been shown by scientific research to activate nerve cells:
(1) specific adjustments to joints, (2) eye exercises, (3) breathing exercises, (4) light, sound, smell, touch, (5) balance activities, (6) nutritional modification, (7) physical exercises,
and (8) cognitive exercises. Our care is safe, closely monitored and often fun.
A key element of success (especially for those who have failed with other types of care) is that rehabilitation is not programmed. It is based specifically on the findings of the
patient’s exam and response to therapeutic trial. Therapies are constantly evaluated with pre and post testing as the patient progresses.
