Dr. Bianca Miret
Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist
The human body has been a fascination for me ever since my high school and undergraduate school years as a competitive athlete. My interest continued to grow through time while completing my Bachelors in Science and Specialized Honors in Kinesiology and Health Science from York University. During the early months of chiropractic school, I found my love of the brain and nervous system. As my interest increased, I dove deeper into clinical neuroscience courses with the Carrick Institute and began accumulating hours toward my diplomate in Chiropractic Neurology.
In March 2021, I graduated with my doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic. During my time at Palmer, I served as president of the Functional Neurology Club, tutored neuroanatomy and spinal anatomy for 2 years, and had the pleasure to work in the dissection lab. These hands-on experiences provided me with in-depth knowledge about anatomy, physiology, and the nervous system.
I am excited to be a part of the CFNC team and to work alongside amazing doctors. CFNC encompasses a cutting edge approach to health care, where the focus of treatment is finding out the root cause of the patient’s condition and where the patient’s care always comes first.

Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist
My passion for helping others began at a young age. My love for the brain started when I attended the University at Albany where I studied neuroscience and volunteered as an emergency medical technician. I served as the new member trainer for incoming EMTs. I love teaching and integrate this into my patient care.
I continued on to chiropractic school with the intent of pursuing a career in functional neurology and functional medicine. I began taking clinical neuroscience classes through the Carrick Institute for graduate studies during my first quarter at Life University. During my time at Life University, I served as the president of the neurology club and had the pleasure of presenting research at the International Symposium on Clinical Neuroscience. I also had the privilege of assisting and learning directly from Professor Carrick during neurology rounds in Atlanta, GA. I became a diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Neurology immediately following my graduation from Life University.
As a board certified chiropractic neurologist, I have had the pleasure of treating many complex neurological cases. I believe it is of utmost importance to spend quality one-on-one time with patients and really listen. I enjoy educating my patients and empowering them to take their health into their own hands.

Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner
My journey to become a Functional Neurologist started when I was a little girl. I always knew I wanted to be in the healthcare field but over the years, what that looked like as a profession, changed many times until my Junior year in college. As a young girl I wanted to be a Veterinarian and as I got older that idea changed to an overwhelming passion for wanting to help people. Throughout my years at the University at Buffalo I shadowed and volunteered at any office, hospital and clinic that would let me in. I observed surgeries, vein and laser treatments, pediatric care, emergency services and eventually Chiropractic.
The moment I left the Chiropractors office I was hooked and knew this was something special. I loved the idea of helping others through holistic and natural means and the atmosphere in this office was much different than I had experienced at any other clinic I had visited. Patients were so happy to be there, they were taking their health into their own hands and they were living a life of wellness NOT disease.
Having already taken several neuroscience classes in undergrad and being very interested in the brain I was ecstatic to find out I could be a Chiropractor AND work in Neuroscience by obtaining a diplomate in Neurology.
Fast-forward several years, many courses and hours of study later and I obtained my diplomate through the American Chiropractic Neurology Board after training with the Carrick Institute for several years. I have had the distinct honor of learning directly from Professor Carrick (the father of Functional Neurology) throughout my years of study and as a certified provider. This has given me insight into treatment, diagnosis and care that few have experienced. I later obtained my certificate in Functional Medicine through FMU and Apex Energetics allowing me to better serve my patients as a whole, to better understand how many systems in our bodies can affect the way that our brains function and how diet, lifestyle and environmental factors are key to overall neurological health.
Throughout my career thus far, I have had the opportunity to work with 1000’s of patients in a clinical setting, members of the USA women’s hockey team, several NHL players and the USA ski jumping team. I am humbled by the opportunities I have been given and hope to bring the highest quality neurological care to thousands more over the life of my career.
I opened Carolina Functional Neurology Center in 2018 to provide the Carolina’s with a cutting edge approach to healthcare. A holistic treatment center that focus’s on finding the root cause of your symptoms and provides you with the treatment and tools to live your most FUNCTIONAL life!
