FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY

Cognuro

The eyes are not only the windows to the Soul, but they are also literally windows into the functioning of your Brain. COGNURO is a revolutionary brain assessment and rehabilitation system that allows for real-time observation and recording of eye function during various examinations. Having the ability to analyze, assess and incorporate rehabilitation based on eye function is a total game-changer in patient care.

The function of the eyes is of key importance in our every daily activity. The eyes must be synchronized with the sensory and vestibular systems for the brain to respond appropriately to gravity. Even when dealing with typical chiropractic issues, such as neck or low back pain, the eyes are essential for balance and stability. For example, when we bend forward, our eyes reflexively move upward to convey the rate of speed we are moving at. If eye motion is uncoordinated, the result will be less than efficient spinal stability. In other words, your brain will not quite know where you are in relation to gravity. This is often why people can injure themselves during what seems like a very trivial movement, such as picking up something light off the floor.

“Eye movement disorders are often the initial manifestation of diseases affecting the central nervous system.” – Agnes M.F. Wong (Eye Movement Disorders)

Improving how the eyes function not only yields excellent results with regards to musculoskeletal issues, posture and stability, but also vertigo, headaches, TBI, cognition and dysautonomia. Eye function is also strongly related to conditions such as ADHD, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and much more.

Poor eye function and movements have been linked to numerous disorders. In order for our brains to respond appropriately to gravity, allowing us to move freely through our environment, our eyes must be conveying the correct information. When this doesn’t happen, the effects are often profound. At Sedona Spine, Cognuro gives us the ability to assess eye function and guide rehabilitation.
