Headaches happen for many reasons. These include infections, tumors, blood vessel diseases, dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system, allergic reactions, blood sugar problems, toxicity due to alcohol and many other substances, developmental problems, and even subluxation of the bones in the skull. Ineffective function of pain inhibition in our nervous system can make our heads hurt also.

At GNI, we investigate the history of each patient’s headaches to see if there is a cause. A physical and neurological exam is then done and interpreted. This examination is followed by x-rays or other imaging studies if needed. A manual (hands on) exam is done to determine if misalignment exists in cranial bones, the spine and other joints that affect the headaches.

We’d love to be a solution to your headache relief.

Attention Deficit and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorders can occur for many reasons, including genetics, prenatal drug exposure, side effects from medicine, poor diet, and other causes. Dysfunction within the cerebellum contributes significantly to and . The cerebellum coordinates all nervous system functions, and rehabilitation of cerebellum motor coordination with Gifford Neurology’s Cerebellum Motor Coordination Rehabilitation Program improves the ability to pay attention both mentally and physically.

Dr. G. Kevin Gifford has observed clinical changes in many patients, and will conduct formal ADD – ADHD research in the fall of 2019.

Stay tuned!

To think or not to think, that is the question. 🤔 🧠 👤

Not really yet it may have started you reading this post. Right?

Did you know Dr. G. Kevin Gifford is a Chiropractic Neurologist? How’s he different from a regular chiropractor?

Chiropractic Neurologists examine both subluxation* of the spine and other joints, and the nervous system. We treat neurological disorders with scientific methods.

We’d love to show you how GNI is making an impact on people and improving their quality of life. Call today to schedule an appoint!

*subluxation is a partial dislocation. Also, a slight misalignment of the vertebrae, regarded in chiropractic theory as the cause of many health problems.

Reverse the effects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder for yourself or someone you love.

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) involve areas of the brain that regulate cognition, multitasking, emotion, planning and critical thinking. Visual and auditory processing is involved in these disorders, as is balance and coordination.

This disorder inhibits learning in children and significantly affects adult behavior. The cerebellum (part of the brain that coordinates function) coordinates all of the areas that function aberrently in ADD/ADHD.

The key to GNI’s Success is Research.

Tracking clinical success or failure enables creative development of new therapies. GNI asks the following questions.
Do therapies really make a difference?
If they don’t, why don’t they?
Is it possible to change the therapy and achieve therapeutic success?

From 2009 to 2010 our research assessed various rehabilitative therapies and found much of it ineffective. Patients with poor balance and coordination did not improve. As a result, Dr. Gifford conducted extensive research and developed a new program.

GNI’s proprietary therapy, the Cerebellum Motor Coordination Rehabilitation Program© (CMCRP), has bee shown to restore all aspects of cerebellum function, including balance.

GNI clinical research from 2009 to 2014 showed that CMCRP significantly improved cognition and balance and coordination. These results included reversal of dementia by 15.73% and improved balance and coordination by 28.64% in a group of 64 senior adults, average age 85. These changes improved participants’ quality of life significantly. It was also observed that age affects the rate of change.

Younger patients improved faster and greater than older patients. Future GNI research will assess academic dysfunction and the influence of cerebellar rehabilitation.

For example: After 18 months of physiotherapy, a 90 year old patient could not stand with his feet together for 3 seconds. Each time he tried he would lose balance and had to be caught to avoid falling. Dr. Gifford sought to understand why therapy didn’t work. Neuro-anatomic and neuro-functional analysis by Dr. Gifford revealed therapeutic deficiencies that caused failure to improve brain function. Dr. Gifford developed new therapy and researched its effectiveness on this patient. Within 2 weeks the patient was able to stand with his feet together without wobbling or falling! Since then, large groups of senior adults have been treated and the results are equally as dramatic.

Dr. Gifford talks a lot about the cerebellum; especially with those participating in the Cerebellum Motor Coordination Rehabilitation Program (CMCRP). Understanding the cerebellum’s function will illustrate why his therapy has been so successful with patients who have , focus issues (i.e. ADD, ADHD), , and so much more.

What is the cerebellum?

The cerebellum is a part of the human brain. It is the part of the brain that that is responsible for human movement, coordination, motor control and sensory perception. The cerebellum is in the lower posterior part of the brain which looks almost like it is separate but still of the same unit. The cerebellum receives signals from all over the body through neural pathways to keep the mind aware of where the body is positioned and how the body is coping with its environment at any one point in time though continuously.

The cerebellum is responsible for relaying messages about posture, equilibrium, movement and fine motor skills such as writing or catching a ball. It is a very important part of the brain that keeps us aware of our surroundings and therefore alive. Voluntary movement is monitored and initialized by the cerebellum through the manipulation of fine muscle movement.

Contact us if you’re interested in learning more about CMCRP and how it could positively impact your life.
