Neuroplasticity St. Pete unites functional neurology, upper cervical care, acupuncture, and functional medicine under one integrated roof — for patients who have sought answers elsewhere and deserve a complete one.
Many conditions with neurological and structural origins fall through the gaps of a model that evaluates body systems in isolation. Meaningful progress becomes possible when the full picture is examined without artificial specialty boundaries.
Neurological and upper cervical factors are implicated in a significant proportion of chronic migraine cases. Our assessment evaluates brainstem sensitization, cervicogenic triggers, trigeminocervical pathway dysfunction, and vascular tone — identifying the specific mechanisms underlying your symptom pattern rather than managing headache frequency with repeated medication cycles.
Chronic daily headaches unresponsive to medication
Migraines with aura or vestibular features
Cervicogenic headache with neck involvement
Post-whiplash headache patterns
Persistent symptoms after concussion frequently reflect ongoing neurological dysfunction rather than active tissue injury. Targeted neurological rehabilitation — a focus of functional neurology — aims to address the neural pathway disruptions that may underlie prolonged post-concussive symptoms. Our assessment includes neurodiagnostic testing and functional evaluation of areas commonly affected after head trauma.
Dizziness can have central neurological origins, vestibular origins, or cervicogenic causes that standard vestibular testing does not always identify. Our functional neurological assessment evaluates the full vestibular processing pathway — from inner ear to brainstem to cortical integration — to build a more complete clinical picture before designing a care approach.
Chronic neck pain and post-whiplash symptoms may involve upper cervical misalignment with neurological consequences. Our approach uses CBCT 3D imaging and Advanced Orthogonal protocol — a precision-guided upper cervical technique — to evaluate and address structural components that conventional care does not always assess with this level of specificity.
Persistent fatigue and cognitive difficulty often have multifactorial origins spanning neurological function, autonomic regulation, and biochemical terrain. Our combined approach evaluates mitochondrial function, HPA axis integrity, dysautonomia patterns, and neural pathway efficiency together — rather than sequencing these assessments across separate specialists over months.
Gut dysfunction can be associated with vagus nerve function, microbiome disruption, and neurological dysregulation of the enteric nervous system. Our approach combines acupuncture, functional medicine laboratory assessment, and neurological rehabilitation — addressing multiple aspects of the gut-brain axis simultaneously. Results vary by individual, and care plans are tailored based on comprehensive assessment findings.

What We Offer
Nine modalities. One integrated care plan.
Each modality addresses a different dimension of how the body functions and heals. Used in combination, they allow us to meet your nervous system exactly where it is — rather than where a referral pathway would have us start.
01
Functional Neurology
Precise neurological examination and targeted rehabilitation to restore the brain pathways underlying your symptoms.
A brief intake conversation helps us understand your history before your first in-person appointment. No referral needed.
02
Comprehensive Assessment
An unhurried neurological, structural, and functional examination. CBCT imaging and neurodiagnostic testing as clinically indicated.
03
Integrated Care Plan
A plan built specifically for your nervous system — combining the modalities your case calls for, in the right sequence.
04
Ongoing Partnership
Progress tracked with objective data. Your plan adapts as your nervous system does. Your ownership of your health grows throughout.
The Practitioners
Healers who chose this path with intention.
Every practitioner at Neuroplasticity St. Pete brings scientific rigor, genuine clinical curiosity, and a belief that the patient is the most powerful force in their own healing.
DC · DACNB
Dr. Josh Silver
Chiropractic Physician & Functional Neurologist
Founder of Neuroplasticity St. Pete and one of the few board-certified chiropractic neurologists (DACNB) practicing in the Tampa Bay area. Developer of Upper Cervical Neurology as a formal clinical system — including the proprietary software and 3D-printed instruments used in the Advanced Orthogonal technique, now adopted by practitioners internationally.
Rooted in public health and trained across functional medicine, acupuncture, and nutritional therapy. Specialises in digestive health, hormonal regulation, and the conditions where Eastern and Western medicine converge most meaningfully.
Over twenty-five years of craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, neural manipulation, and visceral manipulation — at the intersection of structural, neurological, and somatic bodywork.
“Dr. Silver is unlike any other practitioner I’ve had. Addressing my concerns holistically, we covered gene mutations, functional neurology, and emotional release techniques. I’ve seen a marked change in my symptoms.”

Integrative Care
“Finding Neuroplasticity in St. Pete has been the best addition for my overall health. My chronic neck pain went away almost immediately and the functional neurology exams uncovered weaknesses no doctor had identified before.”

Common Questions
Answers worth having.
An informed patient is our most powerful partner in care. These are the questions that come up most, answered with the same depth we bring to the examination room.
Functional neurology focuses on rehabilitating dysfunctions in the nervous system that don’t yet constitute diagnosable disease. It asks whether the system is performing optimally — and uses targeted neurological rehabilitation to restore underperforming brain pathways. Dr. Josh Silver is a board-certified chiropractic neurologist (DACNB) in St. Petersburg, FL, holding the Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board — the primary credential in this field.
Upper cervical care is indicated for patients with chronic headaches, migraines, dizziness, post-concussion symptoms, and neck pain that may have a cervicogenic or brainstem-related component. Patients with incomplete results from standard chiropractic or physical therapy are often appropriate candidates. Our upper cervical protocol uses CBCT 3D imaging and Advanced Orthogonal instrumentation for precise structural assessment before any intervention.
Yes. Our clinic at 2370 Dr. MLK Jr St N in St. Petersburg serves patients from across the Tampa Bay area including Tampa, Clearwater, Largo, Sarasota, and throughout Pinellas and Hillsborough County. For the level of integrative care we provide, patients regularly travel from outside the immediate area.
Your first visit begins with a comprehensive intake of your full health history, followed by an unhurried neurological and structural examination. Depending on your case, this may include CBCT imaging, advanced neurodiagnostic testing, and functional assessment. You will leave with a clear picture of what we found and a proposed care plan.
No referral is required. You can book a consultation directly through our online scheduling system or by calling (727) 202-6006. We welcome patients coming directly from search, transitioning from conventional care, or pursuing integrative approaches alongside ongoing medical management.
Our practitioners communicate directly and frequently about shared patients. A care plan might combine functional neurology and upper cervical care in the first phase, acupuncture and functional medicine laboratory work in the second, and bodywork as an ongoing complement throughout. The sequence is intentional and continuously updated based on your documented clinical response.
We are an out-of-network provider. Many patients use FSA or HSA accounts, and some PPO plans offer partial reimbursement for chiropractic and acupuncture services. We can provide a superbill upon request. Call us at (727) 202-6006 and we are glad to walk through your options before your first visit.
