Traumatic Brain Injuries
Our specialized program addresses mild, moderate, and severe traumatic brain injuries using advanced diagnostics, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and customized neurological rehabilitation. By combining functional neurology with IV nutrient therapy, we restore damaged brain pathways and improve cognitive function. This comprehensive approach helps patients recover balance, coordination, and sensory processing abilities lost due to TBI.
Multiple Sclerosis
We provide targeted interventions for multiple sclerosis through functional neurology assessments and integrative treatments. Our team identifies autoimmune triggers while implementing IV therapy and neurological rehabilitation to slow disease progression. By focusing on neuroplasticity and inflammation reduction, we help patients maintain mobility and cognitive function long-term.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Our HBOT program delivers concentrated oxygen treatments to accelerate healing for neurological conditions, chronic illness, and traumatic injuries. This FDA-approved therapy enhances brain function, reduces inflammation, and promotes tissue repair by increasing oxygen delivery to damaged cells throughout the body.
Movement Disorders
Specialized treatments for Parkinson's disease, dystonia, and other movement disorders combine precise neurological evaluations with targeted rehabilitation protocols. Our non-pharmaceutical approach improves coordination, reduces tremors, and restores functional movement patterns through customized neuroplasticity exercises and vestibular therapy.
Neurobehavioral Disorders
Comprehensive care for ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and sensory processing issues includes advanced neurological assessments and individualized treatment plans. We address both physiological and developmental aspects through functional neurology interventions, dietary support, and neuroplasticity-based therapies to improve behavioral outcomes.

I am just so grateful that I was referred to Dr. Azzolino and Dr. Amina. I cannot tell you how much they have positively affected my life. I fell and broke 4 bones about a year ago. At 52 I knew I was way too young to sustain such a big injury so thus my neurological journey began. Dr. Azzolino, with his state-of-the-art equipment, diagnosed my balance and vestibular issues and developed a treatment plan that targeted my outages with specificity. Now, after completing the program, my balance has greatly, greatly improved. I feel strong and centered, which is amazing seeing how "off" I often felt

Dr Afzal was super knowledgeable and helpful in treating my injury, including throughout my pregnancy. She gave me helpful exercises to work on at home as well as other beneficial recommendations. Expensive but it was worth it for me!

Dr. Azzolino, Dr. Stoller, and Dr. Thompson helped me through a Lyme treatment and recovery that lasted about a year. I am very grateful for their holistic approach to both treatment and repairing the damage caused by Lyme. It was great to have a cross-functional team invested in my care. Highly recommend.

DO NOT GO HERE. Waste of money and waste of time. Your first visit will be with Dr. Azzolino for about 10 minutes, then boom $400. What will he say? Oh, hi ma'am, here's a 10-20 week plan for you. Then you never see him again; instead you work with assistants the rest of the time, who are nice, but really just function as robots and do the same repeated stuff. Dr. Azzolino continues making false promises to clients so they come back and spend another $200-600 per session. Even PHONE CALLS are $400 an hour! How ridiculous. Very corrupt, but that is what happens when you place your chiropractic center

I love this practice. Ive been suffering from what turned out to be an autoimmune disease and a tangle of co-infections which Dr Thompson has steadily gotten to the bottom of. I was suffering from full body eczema and psoriasis, edema in my face and i thought this had to be something more serious than just a tiny eczema itch. After being laughed at by a GP at CPMC for wanting to get a candida test (she insisted I had hay fever and prescribed prednisone which would have worsened my condition - oh and i did have intestinal candidiasis) I was desperate for a dr who would take me seriously. So glad

At age 45 , I was diagnosed with Parkinsons. When I went for a second opinion to the head of neurology, the doctor had tears in his eyes as he explained to me what was going to happen to me. I searched for hope in alternative treatments.
Dr Azzolino acted quickly in my behalf. He was thorough and dedicated. After a year and a half of consistent treatments, I was symptom free. I have remained healthy since 1991. It is heart breaking to me to watch so many people suffer unnecessarily when there is help available. My husband, my family and I are forever grateful to Dr. Azzolino for the restoration

I can't say enough about my experience at this office! First of all, I've never had a more thorough exam; They wanted to get to the root of what was causing my pain and didn't take any short cuts by only focusing on the problem area. I got a perspective about my specific problem and my overall health that no one has been able to give me before. They are brilliant diagnosticians! Second of all, the treatment: cutting edge. I started to heal and get relief ridiculously faster than other people I know who suffered with the same issue. This saved me so much time and $$ based on what they told me
