Custom-tailored care from Dr. Samuel G. Charles – restoring balance, function, and quality of life
Meet Dr. Charles:
With over 38 years of experience, Dr. Charles specializes in Functional Neurology & Functional Medicine — non-invasive, personalized healthcare focused on restoring brain-body balance.
Philosophy of Care:
Rather than simply treating symptoms, Dr. Charles addresses the root causes. His care is customized and designed to promote long-term recovery and wellness.
Doctor of Chiropractic (DC)
Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB)
Fellow of the American College of Functional Neurology (FACFN)
Chronic or severe headaches and migraines can significantly impact daily life. Dr. Charles uses neurological assessments to identify root causes such as sensory misfiring, vestibular dysfunction, or cervical misalignment — and applies tailored brain-based therapies for long-term relief.
Vertigo and chronic dizziness often stem from inner ear disturbances, vestibular system dysfunction, or brainstem imbalance. Through vestibular rehabilitation, sensory recalibration, and postural therapies, Dr. Charles helps restore balance and reduce episodes of disorientation.
Even mild traumatic brain injuries can disrupt brain-body communication. Functional neurology offers a non-invasive recovery path through sensory integration therapy, neuroplasticity activation, and customized functional exercises that improve focus, memory, and coordination.
Conditions like tremors, tics, dystonia, or Parkinsonian symptoms can be traced to dysfunctions in the cerebellum, basal ganglia, or motor cortex. Functional neurology utilizes brain stimulation techniques, targeted movement therapy, and proprioceptive retraining to improve motor control.
Neurodevelopmental disorders require personalized, non-drug-based care. Through sensory-motor integration, cognitive development therapies, and gut-brain axis support, Dr. Charles assists in improving attention, behavior regulation, and emotional control in children and adolescents.
Dr. Charles treats a wide spectrum of chronic immune-related neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto’s, and more. Treatment includes functional medicine diagnostics, detox protocols (metal/mold/EMF), and tailored neurological retraining to calm inflammation and restore function.
With over three decades of hands-on patient care, Dr. Charles brings unmatched depth in diagnosing and treating complex neurological and functional health conditions. His extensive background ensures a level of precision and insight that only years of clinical mastery can offer.
Dr. Charles holds Diplomate status with the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB) and is a Fellow of the American College of Functional Neurology (FACFN). These prestigious certifications reflect rigorous postgraduate training and a commitment to evidence-based.
At the core of our philosophy is the belief that the body can heal when given the right environment. Our therapies avoid pharmaceutical interventions and instead focus on activating the body’s innate healing abilities through neurological stimulation, nutrition, detoxification.
Every patient is unique. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Dr. Charles tailors each treatment plan based on your neurological findings, lifestyle, lab work, and functional goals — ensuring that your recovery is efficient, sustainable, and suited to your specific condition.
We understand that healthcare can be a financial concern. That’s why we offer a variety of payment solutions — including accepting major insurances (where applicable), credit card payments, and a 12-month interest-free financing plan to ensure cost doesn’t stand in the way of your care.

Functional Neurology is the foundation of Dr. Charles’ practice. It focuses on enhancing the function of the brain and nervous system using non-invasive, neuroplasticity-based therapies. By identifying areas of neurological imbalance, Dr. Charles applies precise, brain-based stimulation techniques that restore communication between the brain and body.
Focuses on optimizing brain and nervous system function using neuroplasticity-promoting techniques:
Joint & muscle receptor activation
Visual, auditory, vestibular stimulation
Cortical & cerebellar stimulation
Addresses underlying contributors to disease:
Field Control Therapy
Microbiome (gut) assessments
EMF, mold, metal toxicity, and radiation testing
Combines sensory systems and musculoskeletal techniques to:
Improve movement, balance & pain
Employ manual adjustments & sensory-based modalities
