Our Brain Health program gets results with complicated neurological cases.
We are a certified Interactive Metronome® clinic and use Brain Gauge® technology to our office, we are able to offer unparalleled evaluation of neurological function and rehab progress.

ADHD treatment
The results displayed above were obtained from a subject that was impacted with the approximate vector indicated and monitored with the Brain Gauge until their return to play. An impact at this orientation would be consistent with trauma in the cerebellum due to collision with the base of the skull. Subject indicated that they felt “normal” on Day 7, but was not cleared to return. Note that in this case, recovery of all metrics, other than timing perception – which is largely attributed to the cerebellum, were resolved by Day 13. SCAT, IMPACT and self-report were used to clear the subject on Day 19.

Brain Health Program: How It Works

neurological rehabilitation brain
The brain and neurological system is the first system to develop in the body. It is the control center for the body. Your movements, coordination, memory, language skills, personality, and metabolism and immune system are all have control mechanisms in the brain.
The different areas of the brain have to communicate together in sync, like a symphony, for optimum brain health. When one or more areas start to misfire, neurological symptoms result.


Who can it benefit?
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • ADD/ADHD
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  • Cerebral Vascular Accident (Stroke)
  • Balance Disorders
  • Parkinson’s Disease
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Attention & Concentration
  • Fall Prevention
  • Behavior problems (Aggression & Impulsivity)

Your functional neurological assessment could include:
  • ​​Cognitive testing
  • Coordination assessments
  • Optokinetic testing
  • Primitive reflex assessment
  • Balance/vestibular testing
  • Cerebellar functional testing
  • Brain Gauge® assessment
  • Interactive Metronome® assessment
​We look for dysfunction in the firing and communication of the different brain regions. We then create a rehabilitation plan to fix what we find.

​Through "neuroplasticity" connections that were lost or broken can be recreated with activation of the appropriate pathways and areas of the nervous system. It's kind of like strengthening a weak muscle. Repairs can happen, but they do take time.


How long are the sessions?
​Due to the availability of hands-on sessions, we only accept a few patients for care at a given time. Sessions are typically 2 times per week, typically scheduled for one hour, but can be less depending on the fragility of the individual's nervous system. Home exercises are required and are integral to the process and progress.

We also require brain health patients complete the comprehensive lab testing and treatments to address biochemical imbalances, HPA axis dysfunction, and reduce inflammatory conditions that can affect the nervous system and impede progress.
