In this episode we dive into the world of functional health and discuss Functional Neurology with our special guest Freddy Garcia, director of operations at the Carrick Institute for Neuroscience and a clinical neuroscientist with more than a decade of experience.

Dr. Garcia is a leader in education and travels the world teaching other doctors, in various specialties, the latest in functional neurology.

We discuss his journey that led him to where he is today as a leader in functional neurology with the most prestigious in the field, The Carrick Institute for Neuroscience. We discuss his experience learning from Dr. Ted Carrick himself and explore what it means to practice functional neurology as a paradigm in healthcare.

The paradigm of Functional Neurology allows providers across all specialties to adapt their backgrounds and tools and apply a functional approach to healthcare in neurology. Understanding and utilizing the concept of neuroplasticity, functional neurology utilizes sensory therapies to target very specific neurological pathways identified by a specific detailed neurological examination with the goal of driving neuroplasticity to identified regions of the nervous system needing improved function.

We discuss how this paradigm of Functional Neurology can be applied across various continuums to adapt to where the individual patient is at in their health journey. From post stroke rehabilitation and traumatic brain injury to sports performance optimization, functional neurology can be utilized.

We hope you enjoy our discussion on Functional Neurology!.
