state-of-the-art body vibration cage that accelerates<br />
muscle strength much faster than<br />
traditional rehabilitation. It also helps to<br />
mineralize bones, makes them stronger and<br />
increases their flexibility. Research has demonstrated<br />
that WBVT aids in the prevention<br />
and treatment of osteoarthritis osteoporosis,<br />
neck-back pain and sports injuries.<br />
Studies have shown that spinal surgery<br />
is not always the best remedy for spinal orthopedic<br />
conditions. That’s why Dr. Conde<br />
is so bullish on his Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression<br />
Therapy (NSSDT). “It works<br />
wonders for the treatment of herniated<br />
discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, lower back<br />
and neck pain.” Clinical studies have shown<br />
that 86 percent of patients that did NSSDT<br />
had immediate symptom relief, while 84%<br />
remained symptom free for 90 days.<br />
“For NSSDT you lie down and a patient<br />
specific protocol is entered into a computer<br />
that simulates an anti-gravity effect on your<br />
back. This helps herniated material return to<br />
its normal position and stop pain. The treatment<br />
is gentle, painless with intermittent<br />
pulling of the back,” said Dr. Conde.<br />
The Computerized Dynamic Posturography<br />
(or CAPS) measures the nuances of balance.<br />
It is used as a detection tool for diagnosing<br />
brain dysfunction in its earliest stage.<br />
As the individual makes small movements<br />
the sensitive detectors in the platform (under<br />
the person) detects and transmit subtle<br />
information to a computer. “The information<br />
is utilized to determine alterations for center<br />
of pressure (or sway) and aides in the calculation<br />
of the direction and amount of sway.<br />
This helps us formulate a precise diagnosis<br />
for rehabilitation.”<br />
The Conde Center is also using a revolutionary<br />
diagnostic and rehabilitative tool<br />
called the Dynavision D2. It works on areas<br />
of the brain responsible for problem solving,<br />
timing, sequencing, planning, thought processes<br />
and coordination.<br />
“When using the D2, the patient manually<br />
compresses targets made of 64 blinking LED<br />
lights. The information is then recorded and<br />
attention is placed on speed and sequence.”<br />
The Dynavision D2 has been utilized in<br />
many studies; including one the Conde Center<br />
was involved in with the Upledger Institute<br />
and the Ricky Williams Foundation.<br />
“This study neurologically assessed retired<br />
National Football League players who had<br />
at least one concussion in their career. The<br />
results were astounding because the players<br />
displayed numerous deficiencies in<br />
brain activity.”<br />

The Interactive Metronome (IM) is a therapeutic<br />
assessment and training program that<br />
improves attention, concentration, motor<br />
planning and sequencing. Improvements in<br />
those areas results in stronger motor control<br />
and coordination, enhanced balance<br />
and gait and improved language and cognition.<br />
IM provides a structured, goal-oriented<br />
program that challenges the patient to synchronize<br />
a range of whole body exercises to a<br />
precise computer-generated beat.<br />
“When the brain’s functional networks are<br />
synchronized, the neurons are able to fire<br />
efficiently and rhythmically. This improves<br />
executive functions such as problem solving,<br />
planning, short term memory, coordination,<br />
and balance,” said Dr. Conde.<br />
VISUALEYES VNG - Video Nystagmography<br />
Testing is the gold standard in the<br />
assessment of physiological lesions in the<br />
central nervous system and vestibular system.<br />
This information is important to the chiropractic<br />
neurologist because it allows them<br />
to pin-point what side the problem is on and<br />
where in the brain the problem can be found.<br />
“Therapeutic outcomes are improved<br />
drastically because of this tool. The VNG also<br />
allows for a targeted treatment plan with emphasis<br />
on the deficient regions of the brain.<br />
The goal is to promote neuroplasticity, the<br />
brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming<br />
new neural connections in response to<br />
targeted stimuli in the areas that are underfunctioning,”<br />
said Dr. Conde.<br />
The Conde Center for Chiropractic Neurology<br />
also offers resistance training with stateof-the<br />
art equipment, a radiology suite for<br />
digital-rays and massage therapy. They treat<br />
back and neck pain, numbness and tingling,<br />
sciatica, sports related injuries, vertigo, dizziness<br />
and balance disorders, traumatic brain<br />
injuries and auto injuries, just to name a few.<br />
“My mission is to make a permanent<br />
change in a person’s life and in their health.<br />
Our main objective is to insure the health and<br />
well being of our patients. That is why I chose<br />
neurology as my specialty, and it also why I<br />
seek out – and invest in - cutting edge equipment.<br />
We pride ourselves on offering the least<br />
invasive treatments with the best results.”<br />
