RESEARCH

Our therapies are all based on the latest neuroscience research. By using cutting edge techniques we can adjust the root cause of your symptoms. The NeuroRestoration program is designed to restore neurological function and improve the way your brain communicates with your body. We not only want to get your systems working again, but to optimize how they connect to everything else. Here is a small sample of the current research that supports our therapies.
