Did you know our clinic offers concussion rehab?

An estimated 1.6–3.8 million concussions occur each year in the U.S. If you’re dealing with headaches, migraines, neck pain, dizziness, or unsteadiness, you don’t have to manage it alone.

Feeling unsteady? You’re not alone. Balance comes from 3 systems: vestibular, visual, and somatosensory. When one isn’t pulling its weight, the others can compensate which can lead dysfunction that we experience in a variety of different ways.

The good news? Balance can be improved, adapted, and trained. Once red flags are ruled out, the best way to improve it.. is to challenge it.

Research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that almost everyone between ages 40–76 had some type of rotator cuff “abnormality” on a MRI, even people with no shoulder pain.

Just like we get wrinkles on the outside as we age, we also get changes on the inside.

➡️ An MRI finding doesn’t automatically mean something is “wrong” or that surgery is needed.
➡️ Pain is complex and movement, strength, and function matter.
