Integrative Approach | Dr. Laura Standridge

Functional + Integrative Approach

______

Dr. Standridge provides neurodevelopmental consulting, and she advocates a brain-based, functional neurology model of healthcare on most of her clients. Our in person, customized program include individualized, customized recommendations for specific chiropractic, primitive reflex remediation, and brain-based nutrition protocols. While coherent neurofeedback works on targeted communication of the neural networks between brain areas based on the qEEG, Dr. Standridge will use many other tools offered in the field of functional neurology for the betterment of her clients, before, during, or after their sessions.

Functional Neurology is a system in which many measurable variables (such as heart rate, respiration, motor output of muscles, QEEG analysis, sensory testing, posture, reflexes, vibration sense, etc.) are used to determine if a functional loss is present. A functional loss represents altered/impaired nervous system performance. If a functional loss is present, it can be determined where in the brain the loss is coming from.is then determined where the loss stems from (such as brain, cerebellum, peripheral nerves, etc).

Many symptoms of brain-based problems can be managed with a multisensory and functional approach, and, after the brainstem and cerebellum are stabilized, biofeedback. Our tutoring programs are not-diagnostic, non-treatment based, functionally specific programs just for you. How? Neuroscience has well documented that during development, certain imbalances can occcur, making it hard for children to do certain things. While the programs are non-diagnostic, they are specific to where the developmental imbalances are and thus the results are functionally specific to your brain and how it works and are unique to helping you the most.

Before you get to the qEEG neurofeedback/neurointegration explained on the pages on this site, holistic brain training includes well-defined movements for brain balancing that include primitive reflex remediation, photobiomodulation (light therapy), auditory stimulation, vibration therapies, upper cervical specific chiropractic, vagal nerve stimulation, pulse oximetry and Heart Rate Variability. In addition, we use micronutrient and gut lab research for our recommendations to our tutoring clients.

Customized home care is assigned to patients requiring it, and most always includes specific brain-based nutrition, and may also include sound stimulation, light stimulation, and/or specific eye movements. Many patients are given customized list of lifestyle tools, including which side of the class/board room to sit on, what ear to hold a phone up to, and more, geared to increasing neuroplasticity and to maximizing their in-office brain training plan.
