Dr. Justin Dearing
DC, DACNB, FIAMA, FAARM — Functional Neurology & Chiropractic Expert
The co-founder of The Dearing Clinic, Dr. Justin Dearing is a functional neurologist and chiropractor with 12 years of experience in observational diagnosis and treatment. After realizing that adjusting the spine as a standalone therapy was not enough to fully correct chronic problems that kept showing up in chiropractic practices, he refined evidence-based therapies and diversified his clinical strategic approach to provide the best possible experience for his patients.
“I’ve dedicated my life’s work to finding solutions for patients with difficult-to-solve health conditions and know that the foundation of health and longevity is truly simple: Regaining your health requires rebuilding and maintaining whole brain and body resilience.”
He holds a doctorate in chiropractic, a diplomate in clinical neurology, fellowships in acupuncture and restorative herbal medicine. This diversified multi-disciplinary background allows him to apply the best unique patient-focused combination of manual musculoskeletal, neurological, regenerative, and metabolic therapies. With a background in clinical Neurology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and chiropractic care, his approach is to diagnose the whole person first, thus treating individual issues more effectively and efficiently.

The New Alzheimer’s Blood Test Can Find Pathology Twenty Years Early. It Cannot Tell You What Caused It.
A new blood test can detect Alzheimer's pathology up to twenty years before symptoms appear, and new drugs can clear the amyloid it finds — but decline continues anyway. Dr. Justin Dearing explains why amyloid is likely a downstream marker rather than the root cause, and argues that the real opportunity lies in the two-decade window before diagnosis, when metabolic, immune, gut, and brain-network changes are already underway and largely unmeasured. Drawing on trials like FINGER and US POINTER, he makes the case for measuring — not just guessing — what's driving each person's risk, and for acting during the window rather than waiting for a positive test.
A Recovery No One Expected — Now in the Medical Record
A former NFL player diagnosed with early-onset dementia and post-concussive syndrome has a documented recovery — now published in peer-reviewed medical literature. Cognition, brain networks, and physical health all measurably improved. Here's what the data shows and why it matters.
You Cut the Wire, Not the Fire: The Truth About the Stellate Ganglion Block
The stellate ganglion block has become the go-to fix for PTSD and long COVID, and for good reason — patients describe real relief. But the block doesn't fix the nervous system; it just numbs the nerve carrying the alarm signal. This piece breaks down what's actually driving that alarm — neuroinflammation from the gut, past infections, or old injuries — and outlines a four-step approach to resetting the system itself instead of just muting it.
