When should I seek treatment for neurological symptoms?
If you or a loved one displays neurological symptoms, it’s a good idea to make an appointment with Dr. Stumpf.
He can complete different exams to diagnose a possible neurological condition. With accurate diagnosis, he can offer the best available treatment to ease the symptoms and improve quality of life.
Make an appointment if you or a loved one regularly experience:
- Headaches or migraines

Treatment of neurological symptoms includes gentle osteopathic manipulations to help restore blood flow to your spinal column and brain, which can relieve pressure on nerves and ease symptoms.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes healing from neurological symptoms by flooding the brain and other bodily tissues with oxygen. This helps the brain repair itself and enhances mitochondrial function without massive doses of pharmaceuticals. The mitochondria are the powerhouses of your cells that provide them with energy to do things such as healing and repairing.
Light therapy promotes a reduction in inflammation and has neuroprotective effects, preventing the further degradation of nerve and brain cells and neurons. Light therapy has also been shown to reduce migraine instances and improve vitality.
