Chiropactic Neurology
Chiropractic neurology is a field of health care in which the treating doctor is a chiropractor who analyzes and treats based on neurological findings and function. This type of doctor is sensitive to the fact that the human organism is a unit and that successful health care must be globally oriented rather than regionally oriented. Patient examinations are oriented so as to determine the functional strength of each part of the nervous system. Treatments are selected to specifically strengthen the weakened areas and to avoid strengthening the stronger areas until a balance is achieved.
Chiropractic neurologists are trained to pick up on even the subtle changes and to introduce therapies that help bring brain development into balance
Drugs
Drugs are systemic. That is drugs act on all parts of the body that they get to (due to physiological reasons some drugs may not get to the brain for example but other drugs might.) This is one reason for the side effects of drugs; the drug may be introduced to stop the action of an area of the left brain stem, but because the drug is systemic all areas of the body with the appropriate cell configuration will be effected.
Chiropractic neurology is valuable in part due to the high degree of specificity that can be attained. This is very important in reattaining nervous system balance. If an area of the left brain stem needs strengthening, it is very important to not also strengthen the corresponding area on the right.
Hemisphericity
Hemisphericity is the term used to indicate an imbalance in functional ability or efficiency between the two halves (left and right) of the brain cortex. Because of brain interconnections, hemisphericity can show up as high blood pressure, hemorrhoids, differences in flexibility from side to side, double vision, ringing in the ears, sprained ankles, and a multitude of other conditions. Hemisphericity is important to the chiropractic neurologist as decreased function on one side of the brain is often a major component of problems in the body.
Chiropractic Neurologist
Chiropractic neurologists see patients with a variety of movement disorders, nerve entrapment syndromes (such as Carpal Tunnel), headaches and other pain syndromes, and general conditions that are consequences of peripheral or central nervous system disorders. Chiropractic neurologists are able to provide effective rehabilitation for many people who have undergone stroke or other brain trauma
Dr. John Duschatko is a mechanical engineer turned biomechanical engineer! After contributing a decade of work on the International Space Station, Dr. Duschatko made the transition to serving others through the art of chiropractic neurology. He graduated from Parker College of Chiropractic at the top of his class. Dr. Duschatko has become very involved with brain injury advocacy and rehabilitation. He is on the Board of Directors of the Brain Injury Resource and Information Network of North Texas, and has presented at the Brain Injury Association of Texas' State Conference on the subject of brain injury rehabilitation.
(Dr. Duschatko is currently on a leave of absence from his practice in Texas.)
Reasons
The human brain develops through our neurological experiences, be it Mozart, Rembrandt, baseball, hot tubs, yoga, culinary sensations, a caress, meditation, fragrance of a rose, or a chiropractic adjustment. Nowhere is the phrase "Use It or Lose It" more applicable than in the nervous system. Chiropractic works by working the nervous system. Chiropractic works powerfully because the chiropratic adjustment is one of the most powerful inputs to the brain and nervous system.

Neurofeedback is a learning technique that brings awareness of a person's brain wave activity and with training that person can learn to regulate their brain waves.
It uses very sensitive computer technology to measure the electrical activity of the brain and feeds back that information to the person so that they can learn to control them.
Neurofeedback has been shown to be highly effective at reducing symptoms from a wide range of disorders, including Attention Deficit Disorder, Addiction issues, anxiety disorders, epilepsy, mood disorders, sleep disorders and recovery from head injury and stroke.
Glyconutrients help the cells to communicate with each other. It is the "missing link" for our immune system.
It is proven to enhance brain function, and help in stroke recovery.

My interest is in helping people make significant positive changes in their lives. Not only do I provide traditional counseling and therapy for individuals of all ages and families, but I also offer services to achieve optimal performance and wellness. Whenever appropriate, these services are complimented with the use of innovative technologies. For example, since 1992 I have used EEG biofeedback for brain training to manage attention and memory difficulties, migraine headaches, head injures, addictions, pain, depression, and anxiety.
I am fortunate to have diverse experience to bring to the real life issues presented in the counseling setting. My doctoral degree is in Counseling Psychology from Pennsylvania State University.
I was a tenured Professor in Psychology, Director of Clinical Services for the Nevada rural mental health system, and consultant to numerous organizations, hospitals, and sports organizations. I train and supervise therapists, served on the Nevada Board of Marriage and Family Therapist Examiners, and am a licensed psychologist.
