What Is Quantum Neurology?
Quantum Neurology is a functional assessment approach that some chiropractors, including Dr Adam Arnold at Be Amazing Chiropractic, use to evaluate how well the nervous system is communicating with the muscles and organs it controls. It’s a process for finding and addressing specific points of poor communication in the nervous system — it isn’t a diagnosis, a cure, or a replacement for neurological or medical care.
Important: what this page is, and isn’t
Dr Adam is a registered chiropractor, not a neurologist, and doesn’t present himself as one. Quantum Neurology is a chiropractic technique for assessing and supporting nervous system function — it is not a treatment for any specific disease, and no outcome can be guaranteed for any individual, in the same way no health practitioner of any kind can guarantee results. If you have a diagnosed neurological condition or symptoms that need specialist medical assessment, Dr Adam will refer you to your GP, a neurologist, or the appropriate specialist — chiropractic and medical care work best alongside each other, not instead of each other.
How does a Quantum Neurology assessment work?
A Quantum Neurology assessment uses a structured series of manual muscle tests to check how specific muscles respond, which can indicate where communication between the brain, spinal cord, and body may not be working as efficiently as it could. Based on what the assessment finds, Dr Adam applies gentle, specific techniques aimed at improving that communication, then re-tests to check the response. The process is hands-on, non-invasive, and forms part of a broader individualised care plan — it’s typically used alongside standard chiropractic assessment and care, not instead of it.
What is Quantum Neurology used for?
Because it’s a nervous-system function assessment rather than a treatment aimed at one condition, patients see Dr Adam for a wide range of reasons and the assessment simply helps identify where his care can focus. Some patients report noticing changes in how they move or feel after a session, but individual results vary and Dr Adam does not promise or guarantee any particular outcome for any condition. As with all care at Be Amazing Chiropractic, you’ll receive a clear explanation of what’s being assessed and why, so you can make an informed decision about whether to proceed.
Who is a Quantum Neurology assessment suitable for?
Quantum Neurology assessments can be adapted for a wide age range, from children to older adults, as part of an individually tailored care plan. It is not suitable as a stand-alone response to an emergency, an acute injury requiring urgent medical attention, or symptoms that suggest a serious underlying condition — Dr Adam is trained to recognise when presentation falls outside the scope of chiropractic care and will refer you to your GP or to hospital promptly when that’s the case.
What kinds of things do people see Dr Adam for using Quantum Neurology?
People consult Dr Adam and Quantum Neurology practitioners for a wide range of presentations, including sport injuries, disc-related pain, radiating pain such as sciatica, carpal tunnel symptoms, shoulder injuries, neck stiffness, vertigo, and general nervous-system-related complaints. This is a description of what patients present with, not a promise that Quantum Neurology treats, cures, or resolves any of these conditions — every case is individually assessed by Dr Adam, and outcomes vary from person to person. As with any presentation, if what he finds points to something outside the scope of chiropractic care, he will refer you to your GP, a specialist, or hospital.
