Recovering from a concussion involves more than simply resting—it’s also about optimizing your body’s internal environment to promote healin

If there's anything we've learned from over a decade of clinical experience, built upon the shoulders of all the great neuroscientists, neurologists, and psychiatrists that came before us, it's that THERE IS HOPE. Your brain is incredible, and even though it might be suffering right now, it has an incredible capacity to change, heal, and thrive. It just needs help and support.

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.

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).
