Functional Neurology

Dr. Engelbart is more than a chiropractor, she has a Fellowship in Functional Neurology as well as nutritional training, with emphasis on improving human function and vitality. She couples this training with an unmatched passion to deliver the highest quality non-invasive care for you and your family.

Brain and Nervous System Functional Testing, we use these tests to help diagnose and treat neurological disorders, such as:
Vertigo/dizziness, Migraine Headaches, Insomnia, Depression, Anxiety, Learning/Memory/Attention/Focus Problems, Tics and Tremors, Chronic Pain Syndromes such as CRPS/RSD, and for Neurological Rehabilitation from Strokes and Injuries

• Posturography: to measure balance and stability
• Vestibular Testing: to ascertain your brain’s ability to keep you from feeling   unstable, dizzy, nauseous, and uncoordinated
• Neurotransmitter Testing: to determine if the brain’s chemicals (such as serotonin and dopamine) are out of balance. Neurotransmitter imbalances can be responsible for depression, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, poor memory and concentration, movement disorders, and more
•  Autonomic Testing: to test the control centers of blood pressure, pulse rate, breathing, oxygenation, and more

Posture, Muscle and Joint Function

We perform full biomechanical, posture, and gait analyses to uncover underlying problems in joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. The diagnosis and treatment of injuries, back and neck pain, upper extremity dysfunction (problems in the shoulder, elbow, wrist), lower extremity dysfunction (problems in the hips, knees, ankles and feet) is done in a NeuroSpecificTM manner—meaning we look at the control mechanisms to these areas to help ensure you need less treatment to get the result you’re looking for. After all, you’re more than just a body part! You want all your parts working together as a whole, functioning unit. That’s our goal too.

Discover how easy it can be to be pain free! If you suffer from:
Neck and back pain, disc conditions, scoliosis, numbness/tingling, sciatica, carpal tunnel, bursitis, tendonitis, pinched nerves, muscles tension and spasms, athletic injuries, injuries from automobile accidents.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal Decompression Therapy using the Chattanooga Triton DTS works by creating a vacuum effect within the discs, repairing the damage and repositioning them to heal naturally. Employing preprogrammed patterns of distraction and relaxation, this innovative treatment gets to the cause of your pain by gently reducing pressure off the pain producing nerves and repairing the damaged discs.

Balance and Stability Testing

A Balance and Stability Screening is performed at each and every visit using the  Comprehensive Assessment of Postural Systems (CAPS™).

In seconds, a detailed printout will document your body mass index and balance/stability score, expressed as normal, mildly impaired, moderately impaired, severely impaired or profoundly impaired, accurate to 0.003%.  Not only is it an easy and accurate method to screen for fall prevention it is also an important diagnostic tool when treating dizziness, vertigo, balance/coordination problems, scoliosis and other functional and structural asymmetries, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), as well as for a host of other neurologically based problems. It’s also important for those who wish to be at their peak performance, whether it be for athletics or for general health and wellness. 

Dr. Natalie Engelbart has Fellowships in both Functional Neurology and Vestibular Rehabilitation and is in a unique position to address all of these problems.

We're excited to have you and your family check out your balance and stability score. To learn more about fall prevention, click here.

Nutrition and Metabolic Funtional Testing

Dr. Engelbart utilizes both local labs, and specialty labs around the country to test for:  cholesterol, thyroid function, adrenal function, hormones, blood sugar problems, anemia, digestive disorders, food intolerances, heavy metals, cytokines (immunity and inflammation modulators), essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and electrolytes.

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? We provide our patients with a structured nutritional program based on their individual needs.

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for you to help strengthen and correct your own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your care by as much as 30-40%. Specific exercises and stretches can help your nervous system and body stay in balance and in health.

Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before.
