CHIROPRACTIC NEUROLOGY (often referred to as Functional Neurology) is a postdoctoral program in the field of chiropractic that applies functional therapies to improve the outcome of neurological disorders/traumas, such as: Concussions, Developing Brain, ADD, ADHD, vertigo, OCD, anxiety, depression, addiction, misophonia, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, tics, tremors and other movement disorders.

FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY is a combination of a variety of tools including brain exercises, vestibular rehabilitation, brain-based therapies, nerve stimulation, and sensory input to fire up the nervous system, enliven brain activity, and inspire brain connections which can restore or greatly improve function even for chronic disorders. It also allows the patient to learn how to keep the brain young and active, so they can prevent future injuries or difficulties.

ALL NEW PATIENTS START BY COMING IN FOR A 5-DAY "INTENSIVE PHASE":

Dr. Hatch is essentially a physical therapist, but for your brain. Just as you would not expect a physical therapist to rehab a broken/battered part of your body in just a single appointment, it is the same for brain rehabilitation. That's why we start out with 5 appointments scheduled in close proximity (ideally Mon-Fri). We call this the "Intensive Phase".

During your first appointment, we do a series of brain functionality assessments. Dr. Hatch then reviews the results with you and maps out your personalized treatment plan that contains a customized combination of in-office therapy treatments and unique at-home brain exercises. Every plan looks a little different because each patient's protocol is custom-designed to meet their brain's needs. IT TAKES 3-6 MONTHS TO MAKE LASTING CHANGES IN THE BRAIN. On average, the total number of visits is between 6-12.

DR. HATCH LOOKS AT CONDITIONS FROM A BRAIN FUNCTION PERSPECTIVE:

During DAY-1 of your 5-DAY INTENSIVE, we start out with a series of brain function assessments. After, you meet with Dr. Hatch to review the results and he maps out your personalized treatment plan. Not all plans will look exactly the same because each patient's protocol is custom designed to meet the needs of their brain individually. 

In essence, we are trying to put pieces of a puzzle together so that we can provide the best care that is specific to your case. Everyone that comes in will have a Videonystagmography(VNG) assessment performed to analyze the efficiency of eye movement. The visual system is one of the body’s systems that utilizes almost every aspect of brain function. That’s why we spend so much time looking at your eyes! We will also assess your balance, timing, memory, and more! It is essential that we perform a complete and thorough examination in which different areas of the nervous system are tested and challenged at the appropriate level. We must also strive to understand the meaning of the results obtained from a neurological and functional perspective. The level of response obtained during the physical examination is used to assess the level of activity in a certain area of the nervous system and to later gauge the effectiveness of treatment.

TREATMENT PROGRAMS INCLUDE A CUSTOMIZED COMBINATION OF IN-CLINIC THERAPIES & AT-HOME BRAIN EXERCISES: The brain works and thrives on receptors or sensory input from touch, sound, light, smell, joint mechanics, the vestibular system, and verbal cognition to name a few. We target each one of these in several ways.
In-office therapies: RPSS, Laser, GyroStim, PEMF, vibration, and more.
At-home brain exercises: Simple but effective movements of the arms, legs, hands, feet, head, or eyes that stimulate/re-calibrate specific parts of the brain that aren't functioning, activating, or communicating well with other parts of the brain.

We use a customized combination of these to evoke neuroplasticity that promote proper brain function. These methods are are highly specific and precisely address the needs of each individual.

We commonly get asked if we do Neurofeedback therapy: No, we do not.

A GOOD COST ESTIMATE FOR A CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM IS BETWEEN: $2,500 - $6,000:

The variables include the severity of your case and symptoms, types and amount of in-office therapy treatments you will need, and the number of visits needed with Dr. Hatch. After you get scheduled and at some point before your appointments begin, we require a $500 deposit to be paid to hold and confirm your spots on the schedule. This deposit is immediately applied to your overall treatment program cost starting on your first day.

It's not uncommon for patients to be so satisfied with their care that they return for yearly check-ups with Dr. Hatch to ensure optimal brain health. This type of follow-up requires the assessments to be ran and Dr. Hatch's review/interpretation of the results. This is so he can get you an updated list of at-home exercises. This type of check-up starts at $160 and is only offered to patients that have gone through the intensive program. It's also not uncommon for patients to request additional in-office therapies at those appointments. Prices for those therapies vary and are not included the $160 check-up fee.

Chiropractic (Functional) Neurology is considered an alternative type of treatment and something that patients choose to do, rather than something that would be required for their recovery. Therefore, insurance does not cover our treatment program.

Patients typically pay in cash, credit card or with their HSA Plan.

PATIENTS PAY IN CASH, CREDIT CARD OR WITH THEIR HSA PLAN:

After you get scheduled and at some point before your appointments begin, we require a $500 deposit to be paid to hold and confirm your spots on the schedule. This deposit is immediately applied to your overall treatment program cost starting on your first day.

No, our schedule is too full to accommodate walk-ins. We are happy to set you up for a tour of our facility, but they are by appointment only.

On our tour, we will be happy to answer any questions about our approach to healing utilizing both customized at-home brain exercises and in-clinic treatments with equipment like the GyroStim. To set one up, simply call our office at 801-766-6580.

The Brain Rehab Clinic is not equipped with any diagnostic imaging. Dr. Hatch may request imaging with one of our imaging partners if he feels it is necessary. If you have had an x-ray, MRI, or another scan recently, feel free to bring in the report and/or images for the Dr. Hatch to review.
