Brain Wave Collection Series. Chapter 9 -Clinical Correlation

Orthodox and alternative medicine bring different perspectives and emphasize different priorities. They sometimes align and sometimes contradict each other, and prioritization depends on different disciplines and the patient or patient advocate being present and communicating. Biopsychosocial and quality of life factors may be more important to the patient than whatever pathology is present, and orthodox medicine can be tone deaf at times. Likewise, alternative providers can fail to catch relevant pathology that is underlying, urgently relevant or emerging and new. Blending functional chiropractic neurological rehab and metabolic lab testing with QEEG, neurofeedback and counseling can be game changing for chronic patients. SNPs or single nucleotide polymorphisms affect brain waves, metabolism, and mental health and wellness although they are not diagnostic. You cannot manage what you don't measure.
