What Makes Us Different?

Our office is probably a lot different than any other doctor's office that you may have been to in the past. What makes us different is our Neuro-Metabolic approach to chronic health conditions, which leaves no stone unturnded in determining the exact cause of your health problem.

Neurologic

We start by doing a functional neurological examination to establish the health of your nervous system, and to pinpoint problem areas that may need neurologic treatment to restore proper firing in the brain, improve disc health, and remove nerve interference.

Neurologic treatments include brain based therapies such as vibration therapy, auditory stimulation, olfactory stimulation, and caloric stimulation to increase the frequency of firing in certain areas of the brain. For instance, vibration therapy is used to fire the back part of the brain called the cerebellum, which is responsible for control of spinal muscles.

Our Neurologic treatments may include gentle spinal adjusting to correct spinal subluxation and remove nerve interference, and to restore proper spinal motion and balance. If you have disc problems such as bulging or herniated disc, or possibly a degenerative disc, Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression may be utilized to help heal the disc.

Metabolic

Our metabolic treatments are based on specific lab panels. By doing a comprehensive blood test which includes a thyroid panel, a complete metabolic panel, a lipid panel, and a complete blood chemistry with differential, we can assess your thyroid, adrenal glands, liver, kidneys, red/white blood cells and gut function with the above lab tests.

All can be affected with chronic health conditions. By addressing any problems with your thyroid, adrenal glands, blood chemistry, or gut function, we can help you to heal faster. The CMP also allows us to check your blood glucose levels since glucose and oxygen are needed by the brain to function properly.

Stool samples will help to determine if you have any sensitivities to gluten, milk, eggs, soy, or yeast. If you are sensitive to any of these foods, it could be making your condition worse by increasing inflammation in your brain, and throughout your body.

An adrenal stress index test is performed by using saliva samples. Your adrenal glands are your "stress" organs, meaning that they react to stress. If you have been or currently are under stress, or if you suffer from insomnia, this test is a must to measure cortisol levels in your body. Cortisol levels can be corrected via specific nutritional protocols.

We may test to see if you have an autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is where your immune system identifies its own body parts as an invader and starts to attack it. Our immune testing includes Lymphocyte Sub-population analysis, Cytokine panels, Natural Killer cell activity, and thyroid antibodies (TPO and TBG).

The immune panels give us an in depth picture as to what is exactly happening with your immune system. If you are suffering from an auto-immune disorder, it trumps everything and it must be the first thing to be addressed.

Our testing may include an evaluation for intestinal permeability, or leaky gut syndrome. Inflammation and damage to the gut lining can be caused by antibiotics, toxins, poor diet, parasites, or infection can lead to increased permeability of the gut lining.

Additional metabolic testing may include measuring neurotransmitters in the brain, hormone panels to evaluate testerone, estrogen and other hormone levels, and food sensitivity testing.

As you can see, ours is a comprehensive approach that leaves no stone unturned in identifying the exact cause of your health condition.

Once we have completed the necessary testing to determine the specifics of your condition, we can successfully treat you via proper neurologic therapies and precise nutritional protocols.

Ask Yourself the Following Questions:

1. How has your condition affected your job, relationships, finances, family or other activities?

2. What has it cost you in time, money, happiness, sleep?

3. Where do you picture yourself in the next one to three years if this problem is not taken care of?

4. What is it worth to you if we could improve your condition?

If you’re really serious about the possibility that there could be an alternative treatment for you or your loved one, call our office at (216) 236-6335, and tell the staff person that you are interested in setting up a free screening with Dr. Simokovich or Dr. Galati.
