Our body has 3 main systems that help us keep our balance. 1. Vision-when our eyes are open and we are in the light, it helps with our balance. 2. Proprioception-knowing where our body is in space (feeling your feet on the floor). 3. Vestibular system in your inner ear. If any of these systems is compromised, your balance can be thrown off. If the inner ear is affected, walking in the dark or on uneven surfaces may be a challenge. This is something I can help with! Please reach out if you or someone you know has trouble with balance.

Headaches! I evaluated and treated a patient on Tuesday that has had a nagging headache every day for the last 3 months. I followed up with her today and she was headache free for 2.5 days, and only occasional mild discomfort today. Symptoms resolved again with treatment. If you’re experiencing daily headaches, you don’t have to live with the constant pain!

Have you ever had an “ear infection” that did not respond to antibiotics? Or has your ear hurt for no apparent reason? It could be coming from your neck or jaw! The masseter muscle (one of your main jaw clenching muscles) and the sternocleidastoid muscle in your neck have pain referral patterns to directly inside the ear and can make the ear hurt or feel full. This is something I can help you with! These links in our bodies are fascinating!

Today I saw a patient who has struggled with vertigo for 7 years. He has been seeing a different physical therapist for the past 6-8 weeks with no relief. I saw him for an hour today and he walked out with a clear diagnosis and a resolution of his positional vertigo. This is why I do what I do! Please reach out if you or anyone you know is dizzy and I’m happy to help!
