Integrative Neurologist in Fairfield, CT
Natural Treatment for Neurological and Brain Health Conditions
Millions of Americans live with neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis. We use integrative neurology to identify your risks early and build a natural treatment plan designed to slow symptom progression and improve your quality of life.
What Is Integrative Neurology?
Integrative neurology diagnoses and treats disorders of the brain and nervous system using a complementary approach, not just medication. Rather than only prescribing symptom relief, we combine healthy lifestyle changes, preventive screening, and at-home treatments that support your body’s natural healing process alongside conventional care.
When Should You See a Neurologist?
Schedule an evaluation if you’re experiencing:
- Memory disturbances or forgetfulness
- Loss of consciousness
- Numbness or tingling sensations
- Muscle weakness and cramps
- Neck and back pain
- Headaches
- Slowness in movement
- Impaired gait (the way you walk)
- Balance problems, including vertigo or unsteadiness
Neurological Conditions We Diagnose and Treat
Our brain doctors treat a wide range of conditions, including:
- Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- Brain and spinal cord injuries
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Parkinson’s disease
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Sleep disorders
- Headaches and migraines
- Stroke
- Epilepsy
If you play contact sports and have experienced a concussion, a neurological evaluation is also recommended. Since PANS/PANDAS and Lyme disease can both trigger neurological symptoms in children and adults, we frequently coordinate testing across these conditions.

What Happens During a Neurology Visit
Your visit starts with a review of your health history and a discussion of your symptoms, followed by a neurological exam checking coordination, balance, muscle strength, vision, hearing, speech, and sensation.
Before making treatment recommendations, we order lab testing, including bloodwork, urinalysis, and fluid tests, and may order genetic testing if an inherited disorder is suspected.
How Neurological Conditions Are Treated
We take a holistic approach to neurological care, using healthy lifestyle changes and nutritional supplementation to support your body’s natural healing process wherever possible. If mobility has been affected by a stroke or brain injury, physical or occupational therapy may also be recommended.
We also provide medication management as part of your care, so conventional treatment and natural therapies work together in one coordinated plan rather than as separate paths.
Our goal is to develop treatment plans that slow disease progression and improve quality of life for you and your family.
