Dementia
At Clarity Brain and Body Clinic, we provide compassionate and comprehensive care for individuals living with dementia. Our goal is to enhance quality of life, promote cognitive health, and support both patients and their families
through every stage of this condition.
Understanding Dementia
Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of neurological conditions that impair cognitive function, including memory, reasoning, language, and behavior. It is not a specific disease but rather a group of symptoms caused by various underlying conditions.
Common types of dementia include:
Vascular Dementia:
Often caused by reduced blood flow to the brain due to strokes or other cardiovascular issues.
Alzheimer’s Disease:
The most common form of dementia, characterized by the buildup of plaques and tangles in the brain.
Lewy Body Dementia:
Caused by abnormal protein deposits in the brain that affect cognition, movement, and behavior.
Frontotemporal Dementia:
Degeneration of frontal and temporal lobes of the brain which leads to personality and behavioral changes.
Symptoms of dementia can include:
Memory loss that disrupts daily life.
Difficulty planning or solving problems.
Confusion with time or place.
Trouble with language and communication.
Changes in mood, personality, or behavior.
Functional Neurology and Dementia
At Clarity Brain and Body Clinic, we take a functional neurology approach to dementia care. This involves using neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize itself—to optimize cognitive function and slow disease progression.
Our dementia care strategies include:
Cognitive Rehabilitation: Tailored exercises to improve memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
Sensory and Motor Integration: Techniques to enhance coordination, sensory processing, and brain connectivity.
Vestibular and Balance Training: Exercises to improve balance and reduce fall risk.
Nutritional Support: Guidance on brain-healthy diets rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, and essential nutrients.
Lifestyle and Stress Management: Tools to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

Education about dementia and its progression.
