A Brain First approach to neurological recovery and regulation

A stroke affects the brain’s ability to communicate with the body.

Even after hospital based care, many people experience ongoing challenges with balance, movement, coordination, strength, fatigue, cognition, or nervous system regulation. These symptoms often persist because the brain is still struggling to integrate sensory and motor information effectively.

A Brain First chiropractic approach focuses on supporting neurological recovery by improving how the brain processes information and reconnects with the body.

When to see a stroke Chiropractor

Chiropractic care can support neurological recovery at many stages following stroke.

This approach may be appropriate if you:

• Have ongoing symptoms after stroke

• Feel unsteady, weak, or disconnected in your body

• Struggle with balance, coordination, or confidence in movement

• Experience fatigue or reduced cognitive clarity

• Want to support long term neurological function and quality of life

Care can be helpful months or years after a stroke, not only in the early stages.

Common stroke related symptoms

Stroke symptoms and recovery challenges vary depending on the area of the brain affected.

These may include:

• Balance and coordination difficulties

• Weakness or altered movement on one side of the body

• Changes in posture or gait

• Dizziness or visual disturbances

• Fatigue and reduced stamina

• Brain fog or slowed thinking

• Sensory changes or numbness

• Reduced confidence with movement

When these symptoms persist, the nervous system may still be compensating rather than integrating efficiently.

Why a Brain First Chiropractic approach works

Stroke disrupts communication between the brain and body.

This affects how sensory input from the eyes, inner ear, muscles, and joints is processed and used to guide movement and stability. When integration is incomplete, the body adapts through compensatory patterns that limit recovery.

A Brain First chiropractic approach focuses on:

• Improving brain body communication

• Supporting balance and postural control

• Enhancing movement coordination and awareness

• Reducing nervous system overload

• Encouraging neurological adaptability and recovery

Care is designed to work with the nervous system, not overwhelm it.

How stroke Chiropractic Care is delivered

Care is personalised and guided by neurological findings and functional capacity.

Treatment may include:

• Balance and eye movement based neurological input

• Brain based chiropractic care

• Gentle nervous system regulation strategies

• Targeted movement and coordination work

• Postural and gait support

• LASER therapy

All care is adapted to individual tolerance and stage of recovery to support progress without symptom flare ups.
