HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES






Migraine pain is most often felt in the temple, but it may be experienced anywhere in the face, head or neck.
So, what puts the ache in headache? The pain sensitive structure of the head is the culprit. These are the arteries of the brain and skull, the tissues surrounding the head veins, the dura matter covering over the brain, and certain nerves called cranial nerves. When these parts are inflamed or stretched, pulled or under pressure, any type of headache may occur.

Dr. Parker takes a different approach to the treatment and prevention of migraines and headaches. After a thorough neurological exam, the Dr. determines which part of the nervous system is not functioning properly. Take a look at our website www.parkercare.com and click on migraines and chronic headaches for more information and a heartfelt testimonial from a very happy patient.

Fibromyalgia

Imagine how different your life would be if you were free from the burdens that your fibromyalgia causes you.

Have you suffered with Fibromyalgia symptoms for a few months, a few years, or too many years to mention? Many may suffer only minor symptoms, while others (perhaps you or a loved one) feel the debilitating effects of Fibromyalgia and are kept from participating in their life, making even simple daily activities almost impossible.


How Does This Work?
You are most likely starting to wonder “What is the treatment going to be like?” I can tell you from personal experience and from watching patients and staff participate in the treatments, that they are beneficial and enjoyable.


Treatments can include one-sided adjustments, simple exercise, neurological exercises, eye exercises, or vestibular stimulation. These techniques coupled with a full neurological and nutritional workup have enabled us to help most of our patients to get rid of their chronic symptoms no matter how long they have been experiencing them


Call our office today to schedule an appt/consult/exam to see how Dr. Parker can help YOU! 813-254-5200

Brain Enhancement


Our Brain Enhancement Program recognizes that ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, learning disabilities, Autism, etc. have similar primary underlying causes. The areas of the brain involved in these disorders require similar intervention strategies.


Since hemispheric imbalance is often the main problem, it is not enough to just generally stimulate the brain. We must stimulate one side more than the other.


A hemispheric-based approach, or activities directed toward the goal of achieving a balance between the two sides of the brain, is the key to success. To achieve this we use hemispheric-specific activities including motor, academic, behavioral, audio-visual, and biochemical modalities.

Peripheral Neuropathy


Learn all about this disorder and how Dr. Parker can help you or your loved one. A class will be held here at our office on Wednesday, December 16th at 12:30pm. Mark your calendars and plan to attend.

Some neuropathies come on suddenly, others over many years. Some people are affected only by a weakness in the arms and legs which legs which leads to difficulty standing, walking, or getting out of a chair. The loss of sensation from the feet, ankles and toes contributes to patients not having a ‘good sense’ of where there feet are in space, touching the ground, and this causes them to fall very easily. These under-recognized sensory losses CAN ONLY be detected with proper clinical exam. This office has the necessary tools to uncover the underlying cause of this ’silent’ nerve damage.






Visit our website for more information on peripheral neuropathy. www.parkercare.com

The information provided in this class will be of great value to you if you are suffering or know someone who may have this type of problem. There is NO CHARGE for the class. Please call our office at 254-5200 to reserve your seat to attend the class.
