Greensborough Family Chiro & Neuro Rehab Centre

Chiro Neuro Rehabilitation:

Your brain and associated nervous system is an incredibly amazing system. It is connected to every part of your body and controls everything including the function of your organs, your blood pressure and coordinates your immune response. It is responsible for your sleep-wake cycles, your emotional regulation and the normal function of your whole body. For those wanting to improve their health issues, there may be benefit from highly specific exercises combined with chiropractic care, preferably in co-management with your Dr or health specialist. Chiro Neuro Rehab utilises the science of neuroplasticity and its aim is to improve your function and your wellbeing. When Dr Robyn is invited to be part of your health care team she will (with your permission) write to your Medical Dr or your specialist to share her findings and her recommended treatment plan with them.

Dr Robyn is interested in neuroplasticity. Her study in chiropractic neuro rehabilitation, was directed by the Carrick Institute for graduate studies (USA). Dr Robyn is a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (USA) (DACNB).
