Clinical Neuroscience

Dr. Guillemette is one of only two healthcare providers in the Ottawa area with the specialized accreditation of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board. The practice of clinical neuroscience is typically done by a healthcare provider with an expertise in neurology. Clinical neuroscience depends on a clinicians ability to perform a comprehensive neurological exam with their patients. Once the diagnosis is determined, specific treatments are performed on the patient to rehabilitate the patient from their condition. Therapeutic activities change significantly between the patients as they are intended to meet the patients specific needs. Although the therapeutic activities may look unique in their application they are all based on scientific studies. Clinical Neuroscience practitioners typically combine different types of therapies in unique ways to improve the chance of making neuroplastic changes.
