What Is Neurological Rehabilitation?
Neurological rehabilitation combines targeted movement therapies, eye-movement training, and precise chiropractic techniques to drive neuroplastic changes—your brain’s ability to rewire itself for optimal function. Rather than only treating joint or muscle pain, we address dysfunction in the central nervous system (CNS) pathways that control balance, coordination, vision, and cognitive processing.
Vestibular (Vertigo & Balance) Rehabilitation
-
Assessment of Inner-Ear & Brainstem Function
-
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your gaze stability, postural control, and vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR).
-
-
Gaze Stabilization Exercises
-
Using head-eye coordination drills (e.g., “X’s and Y’s”), we teach your brain to maintain clear vision even when your head is moving.
-
-
Balance & Proprioceptive Training
-
Progressing from firm surfaces to unstable foam or wobble boards, we retrain your postural muscles and proprioceptors so you feel steady on your feet.
-
-
Habituation Techniques
-
For motion-sensitivity or chronic dizziness, we introduce controlled exposure movements to desensitize your vestibular system over time.
-
Clients often report a rapid drop in spinning sensations and fewer “off‐balance” moments—especially important if you’ve struggled with falls or fear of moving your head too quickly.
Concussion & Post-Concussive Care
Even mild head injuries can disrupt neural circuits for weeks or months. Our concussion protocol includes:
-
Cognitive & Visual Tracking
Eye-tracking tasks, near-far focus shifts, and pattern-recognition drills to retrain cortical pathways critical for reading, driving, or screen work. -
Aerobic Graded Activity
Safe, heart-rate–controlled exercises to rebuild energy tolerance without triggering symptoms like headache or fogginess. -
Cervical Spine Integration
Gentle, low-force chiropractic adjustments to the neck joints improve blood flow, reduce muscle guarding, and decrease neck‐related headache triggers. -
Autonomic Regulation
Breathing and heart-rate variability training to calm an overactive stress response common after concussions.
By systematically challenging the damaged networks, we help you clear the “post-concussive fog,” reduce headaches Clairemont residents know well, and return to work, school, or sports with confidence.
Why Combine Chiropractic & CNS-Based Rehab?
-
Synergistic Effects: Low force chiropractic mobilizations relax muscles and improve joint mechanics, allowing neurological exercises to fire correctly.
-
Customized Protocols: We tailor each plan to your test findings—no cookie-cutter workouts.
-
Evidence-Driven: Our methods reflect the latest in CNS plasticity research, ensuring safe progression and measurable gains.
What to Expect in Your First Visit
-
Comprehensive Neurological Exam: Gait, balance, eye-tracking, core stability, and sensory tests.
-
Individualized Plan: We’ll outline a series of in-office exercises and simple home drills, along with adjustment scheduling.
-
Progress Tracking: Objective measures (timed balance tasks, symptom scales) at every visit—so you see real evidence of improvement.
Most patients notice reduced dizziness, fewer unsteady moments, and clearer thinking within 2–4 weeks of consistent therapy.
Is Neurological Rehab Right for You?
Consider our program if you experience any of the following:
-
Persistent vertigo or spinning sensations
-
Unsteady gait or frequent falls
-
Ongoing headaches after a concussion or auto accident
-
Difficulty concentrating, reading, or driving
-
Neck stiffness that triggers brain fog
Because we address both musculoskeletal and neural components, our approach is ideal for anyone whose symptoms haven’t fully resolved with rest or standard chiropractic care alone.
