Conditions We Address
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. The goal is identification of the specific mechanisms underlying your symptom pattern.
Read about migraine care in St. PetersburgPersistent symptoms after concussion frequently reflect ongoing neurological dysfunction rather than active tissue injury. Targeted neurological rehabilitation aims to address the neural pathway disruptions implicated in prolonged post-concussive symptoms. Our assessment includes neurodiagnostic testing and functional evaluation of regions commonly affected after head trauma.
Read about post-concussion care in St. PeteDizziness can originate centrally, vestibularly, or cervicogenically. Standard vestibular testing does not always capture each of these sources. Our functional neurological assessment evaluates the full vestibular processing pathway so the clinical picture is complete before any care approach is designed.
Read about vertigo treatment in St. PetersburgChronic neck pain and post-whiplash symptoms may involve upper cervical misalignment with neurological consequences. Our approach uses CBCT 3D imaging and the Advanced Orthogonal protocol, a precision-guided upper cervical technique, to evaluate the structural components that conventional care does not always assess at this level of specificity.

Our combined approach evaluates mitochondrial function, HPA axis integrity, dysautonomia patterns, and neural pathway efficiency together within a single clinical timeline.

Our approach combines acupuncture, functional medicine laboratory assessment, and neurological rehabilitation so multiple aspects of the gut-brain axis are addressed within a single coordinated plan.

Five-star reviews from people who came to us when other paths had run out.
Dr. Silver is unlike any other practitioner I have had. Addressing my concerns holistically, we covered gene mutations, functional neurology, and emotional release techniques. I have seen a marked change in my symptoms.
I have struggled with chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain for many years, trying everything from physical therapy to injections. For the first time in years, I am experiencing real, lasting relief.
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
An informed patient is our most powerful partner in care.
Functional neurology focuses on rehabilitation of nervous system dysfunctions that do not 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), 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 protocol uses CBCT 3D imaging and Advanced Orthogonal instrumentation for precise structural assessment prior to intervention.
Yes.
