Functional neurology is a clinical approach that evaluates how the brain communicates with the body in real time. Instead of focusing only on imaging or diagnoses, we assess brain function through movement, eye tracking, balance, cognition, and physiological responses.
The goal is to identify areas of dysfunction or underperformance in the nervous system and support them through targeted, non-invasive therapies that help the brain adapt and recover.

Traditional neurology often centers on diagnosis, imaging, and medication management. Functional neurology focuses on how the nervous system is functioning day to day, especially when symptoms persist despite normal scans or limited treatment options.

At The Hartman Center, we combine:

• Advanced neurological diagnostics
• Precision, non-invasive therapies
• Integrated care across brain, body, and lifestyle

Our approach is data-informed, personalized, and focused on restoring function and quality of life.

No. While we do support performance, recovery, and optimization, we also work with individuals facing serious and complex neurological conditions.
Our care model is designed for patients who need deeper evaluation, structured neurological support, and ongoing clinical oversight.

We treat a broad spectrum of neurological and functional conditions, ranging from mild to complex, including:

Complex and serious neurological concerns

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Stroke and post-stroke recovery
• Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders
• Multiple sclerosis and other neurodegenerative conditions
• Severe vestibular and balance disorders
• Autonomic nervous system dysfunction
• Complex developmental and cognitive impairments

Common functional and recovery-related concerns

• Concussion and post-concussion syndrome
• Dizziness, vertigo, and visual-vestibular disorders
• Migraines and chronic headaches
• Anxiety, panic, and nervous system dysregulation
• Brain fog, fatigue, and cognitive decline
• Attention, learning, and processing challenges

Many patients come to us after other options have been exhausted or when symptoms remain unexplained.

No. Some patients arrive with well-established diagnoses, while others do not. Our evaluations are designed to clarify how the nervous system is functioning, regardless of labels.

Yes. We frequently collaborate with neurologists, physicians, therapists, educators, and other healthcare providers. Our care can complement existing treatment plans and support continuity of care.

No referral is required. Patients may contact us directly to schedule an initial consultation.

Your first visit focuses on understanding the full picture of your neurological function.

This may include:

• A comprehensive health and symptom history
• Neurological, balance, and coordination testing
• Eye movement and vestibular assessments
• Autonomic and physiological measurements

These findings guide a personalized care plan based on objective data and clinical insight.

No. All therapies offered at The Hartman Center are non-invasive. Treatment is designed to work with the nervous system in a controlled, supportive way, even for patients with significant neurological challenges.

Depending on individual needs, care plans may include:

• Vestibular and brain rehabilitation
• Cognitive brain training through the Arrowsmith Program
• Chiropractic and physical rehabilitation
• LiveO₂ oxygen therapy
• NeuFit and neuromuscular therapies
• Advanced neurological diagnostics
• Nutrition and dietetics support

Therapy selection is intentional and based on clinical findings, not preset packages.

The Arrowsmith Program is a cognitive brain training program grounded in decades of neuroplasticity research. It targets specific cognitive functions that affect learning, reasoning, attention, and processing.

At The Hartman Center, Arrowsmith is delivered within a clinical framework and is often integrated with neurological therapies for both pediatric and adult patients with cognitive or developmental challenges.

Nutrition plays a critical role in brain health, recovery, and regulation. Our in-house dietetics services support neurological care by addressing metabolic health, inflammation, energy regulation, and cognitive performance.

Treatment timelines vary based on condition severity, neurological complexity, and individual response. Some patients notice improvements within weeks, while others require longer-term, structured care.

Progress is assessed regularly, and care plans evolve as the nervous system adapts.

Yes. We treat patients across the lifespan. Care is tailored to developmental stage, neurological complexity, and individual goals.

Insurance coverage varies by service and plan. Our team will help review benefits and payment options before care begins.

Many patients come to us after being told their options are limited. Our role is to assess function, identify remaining capacity for change, and create a structured path forward whenever possible.
