Description coming soon...

Work-Related Injuries
Dr. Azzolino and his associates have successfully assisted hundreds of injured workers obtain the care they are entitled to, recover from their injuries, and ensure that their rights are protected throughout the process.

Dr. Azzolino is a Qualified Medical Evaluator and thus serves as an independent evaluator of cases when a dispute arises.

Our staff is fully trained in the latest Worker’s Compensation law changes and are eager to assist you.

Motor Vehicle Accidents Injuries
Dr. Azzolino and associates have completed many hours of post doctorate studies in the treatment of whiplash, post-traumatic head injuries, and commonly related motor vehicle traumatic injuries. We utilized objective neurological and orthopedic testing to document ones injury along with more advanced testing such as blind-spot mapping, videonystagmography, stress motion x-rays.

Our goal is to fully understand your injury so that we may best inform you of the appropriate options to assist in making a full recover.

Nutrition Counseling and Functional Medicine
The doctors at ACNG have thousands of hours of combined clinical experience and studies in the area of nutrition and functional medicine. Optimum nutritional intact is viewed as one of the necessary components in the treatment of disease and to assure wellness.

We offer functional testing through various laboratories such as Great Smokies Diagnostic Labs and Doctor’s Data Laboratory.

We also provide an inventory of the highest quality and most cost-effective nutritional products available from our Azzolino/Metagenics Online Store and Integrative Therapeutics.


Isokinetic Rehabilitation
The Upper/Lower Body Ergometer (U/LBE) is an effective rehabilitation machine utilized for strength training and neuromuscular rehabilitation. The U/LBE has a wide variety of exercise speeds, work rates, and anatomical ranges of motion that when combined with isokinetic resistance, make it ideal for physical rehabilitation, performance training, and neurological reconditioning. The U/LBE may be utilized for the upper extremity or lower extremity independently or simultaneously in a cross-crawl pattern.

One of the direct benefits of the Ergometer is that it utilizes the extensor muscular system while allowing stability of the axial skeleton, and thus, the U/LBE is an extremely effective method to increase strength in the neck, upper back and lower back as well as extremities while providing low risk of re-injury.

The most distinguishing factor is that when utilizing the isokinetic feature the speed of movement will be controlled while monitoring the patients work load. In this feature, the ergometer will automatically alter resistance according to the force of the patient’s output allowing decreased resistance through the arc of movement in which the patient has the greatest weakness. Contrary to traditional rehabilitation measures involving a fixed resistance which can commonly causes injury in various ranges of movement, the ergometer is a very safe rehabilitation machine.

From a neuromuscular perspective, the altering speeds of movements and the movements of the large joints such as the shoulder and hips activate a great population of joint and muscle mechanoreceptors resulting in an increased frequency of firing of the central neurological structures such as the cerebellum and thalamus which are integral in the control of muscles, coordination, and balance. Many of the greatest benefits one receives from utilizing the U/LBE is an increase in their reflexogenic coordination of their musculoskeletal system.

The doctors at Azzolino Chiropractic Neurology Group are trained in specifically identifying patients’ neuromuscular needs and prescribing appropriate rehabilitation protocols to maximize their function.

Interactive Metronome
The Interactive Metronome is a computer based program designed for neurological and motor rehabilitation to promote and enhance brain performance and recovery. To learn more about this innovative therapy clinic go to www.interactivemetronome.com.

ACNG is proud to be appointed as a research site for the Carrick Instititue of Graduate Studies and the Interactive Metronome. A current study involving the interactive metronome and ADD/ADHD/Learning Disabilities is being conducted.


Neuromuscular Rehabilitation
The doctors at ACNG are trained in tailoring a specific rehabilitation program to assist recovery and enhance brain performance. Our specific techniques involving balance/coordination exercises, visual/ color/ and hemifield stimulations, auditory stimulation, oculomotor rehabilitation have been successfully used by a variety of individuals suffering from many neuromuscular conditions (movement disorders, balance disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, fibromyalgia, and pain syndromes).

We have also worked with many professional athletes and performers to optimize their abilities.

Video Nystagmography
We at ACNG utilize Micromedical Technologies, Inc., www.micromedical.com, real eyes integrated instrumentation for non-invasive vestibular and balance assessment and rehabilitation.

Dr. Sergio Azzolino and associates have completed hundreds of hours of post doctorate studies in the treatment and rehabilitation of balance disorders.
