FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY CHIROPRACTIC
Cognuro
The eyes are not only the windows to the soul, but they are also literal windows into how the brain functions.
Cognuro is a revolutionary system used for brain assessment and rehabilitation. It allows for real-time observation and recording of eye function during various examinations. The ability to analyze, assess, and incorporate rehabilitation based on eye function is a major breakthrough in patient care.
The function of the eyes is crucial for everyday activities.The eyes must work in coordination with the sensory and vestibular systems so the brain can properly respond to gravity. Even when dealing with common chiropractic issues, such as neck or low back pain, the eyes play an essential role in maintaining balance and stability. For instance, when we bend forward, our eyes reflexively move upward to indicate the speed at which we are moving. If eye movement is not properly coordinated, the result is less effective spinal stability. In simpler terms, the brain may not accurately perceive the body’s position in relation to gravity. This is why people can sometimes injure themselves during what seems like a simple movement, like picking up something light from the floor.
“Eye movement disorders are often the first sign of diseases affecting the central nervous system.” Agnes M.F. Wong (Eye Movement Disorders)
Improving eye function can lead to significant benefits in musculoskeletal issues, posture, stability, vertigo, headaches, traumatic brain injury, cognitive function, and dysautonomia.
Eye function is also closely linked to conditions such as ADHD, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and many others.
Poor eye function and movement have been associated with a wide range of disorders.
For the brain to respond correctly to gravity and allow us to move freely through our environment, the eyes must provide accurate information. When this information is not properly conveyed, the consequences can be significant. At Sedona Spine, Cognuro allows us to assess eye function and guide the rehabilitation process.
