As doctors, we've stumbled upon several very cool principles about how the brain and body work. When we look at these principles as they

She found shopping was overwhelming and crushed her. She couldn't have family over for dinner and many other daily struggles. One of the

An imbalance in any of the four areas above can be manifested as a headache. For example, a person suffering from COPD may experience frequent headaches as a result of poor oxygenation. Likewise, a person with diabetes will experience a headache when their blood sugar is out of a nominal range. Inflammation can impinge on nervous tissues resulting in over activation. At the same time inflammation can constrict blood vessels and restrict blood flow carrying the needed oxygen a

Your brain rapidly interprets information it receives from your eyes, pressure sensations in the feet, sounds, and information from the vestibular system to determine its position in space. Of these systems, the vestibular system is the most critical. Without it, you are likely to experience dizziness, nausea, and you may not be able to stand or walk depending on the severity.

Symptoms can range from numbness or tingling to pricking sensations (paresthesia) or muscle weakness. Areas of the body may become abnormally sensitive, leading to an exaggeratedly intense or distorted experience of touch (allodynia). In such cases, the pain may occur in response to a stimulus that is not normally painful. Serious symptoms may include burning pain (especially at night), muscle atrophy, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction.

When these systems are not working, it can be very uncomfortable. You might experience vertigo, nausea, or other discomforts. It is important that we take care of the vestibular system. Here at The Neuro Clinic we utilize a number of different devices and therapies to bring a lagging vestibular system up to par. We might use rotational exercises or movements to stimulate vestibular feedback.

Frequently in conditions like post concussion syndrome or other physically traumatic events, there were shearing forces inside the brain that affected the vestibular system. The resulting vestibular damage might cause a patient to feel dizzy, nauseous, have a really hard time reading, or they might experience some autonomic changes (feeling more anxious or nervous than normal).

Many individuals suffer from some form of nervous system disfunction at some point in their life, whether it be neuropathy or radiculopathies like sciatica. One therapy we utilize for these conditions utilizes electrical stimulation via our rebuilder device.

Our bodies require oxygen in order to function. This is probably not a surprising statement to you since we learn about it in grade school. What most people do not know is that the amount of oxygen in our body is limited by a number of factors like red blood cell count and lung capacity.

How your eyes move and track can tell us a lot about how you brain is functioning. These unique looking goggles track your eye movement relative to a test that is shown on the display in front of you.
