My Child Will Thrive Podcast

Peter Scire DC is the owner and clinical Director of Scire Integrative Health Center/Scire Functional Neurology Center and Co-Owner of Brain Balance Centers of Atlanta.  

As a child, Dr.Scire was diagnosed with a learning disability and Dyslexia. Frustrated with traditional treatment results, his parents brought him to a chiropractor specializing in neurological therapies and functional nutrition.  The combination of traditional academic remediation and these neurological approaches has led to his recovery. Although the process was slow and costly, Dr. Scire went from a struggling student to graduating at the top of his high school class and becoming an award-winning collegiate scholar. Through his personal struggles and recovery, he discovered that helping people was his calling and so made this his vocation. 

While in graduate school he took a special interest in functional neurology which led him to study under Dr. Robert Melillo who developed recovery protocols for children suffering from ADHD, Dyslexia, Learning Disorders, Tourette’s, and autism spectrum disorders. This collaboration has led to Dr. Scire establishing the first three Brain Balance Centers ever built in 2007-2008. Since 2010, Dr. Scire has been a co-instructor with Dr. Melillo in his Childhood & Adult Neurodevelopmental Disorder program. Dr. Scire has over 18 plus years of clinical experience working with children and adults utilizing the developmental neurology applications created by Dr. Melillo.

Ever the learner, Dr. Scire has completed post-graduate studies in the areas of Traumatic Brain Injury/Concussion Rehabilitation, Vestibular Rehabilitation, Neuroimmunology, Low-Level Laser Therapy and Functional Endocrinology. Currently, he is enrolled in the three-year Clinical Mastership Program at the Kharrazian Institute while simultaneously completing the Functional Immunology program through Cogence.

Dr.Scire has a private practice in Newnan, Georgia where he attends to patients of all ages with complex medical histories. His goal is to provide a personalized integrative clinical approach that incorporates the latest evidence-based transitional science.

Dr. Peter J. Scire, known as the “Brain Doctor”, has examined and treated thousands of children with neurodevelopmental disorders since establishing his first practice in 2005 combined with his 8 years of running his Balance Centers.

Dr. Scire received his Dr Chiropractic from Life University in Atlanta and has completed graduate studies in clinical neurology, nutrition and vestibular rehabilitation at the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies. He is a board-eligible Chiropractic Neurologist. 

He is the past President of the International Association for Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation (IAFNR).

He is a frequent lecturer to health care providers, educators and support groups on Functional Disconnection Syndrome and its applications for adults and children with childhood developmental disorders. Dr. Scire has been co-teaching with his mentor Dr. Robert Melillo (author of Disconnected Kids) since 2008.
