Neck pain isn’t the only sign of whiplash. Surprised?
Nausea, dizziness, brain fog, and visual sensitivity can all follow a whiplash injury—even without a concussion. 😵♀️🌀

Why? Because your vestibular system, neck muscles, and brain all work together for balance and orientation. A disruption to any of these can make you feel completely off.

Learn how vestibular therapy, proprioceptive exercises, and autonomic retraining can bring relief and restore function.
Healing starts with understanding. 🧠💡

☕️ Caffeine is the most widely used "drug" on the planet, and yet, so many people have no idea how it works in the brain...

Caffeine blocks specific receptors in the brain (adenosine) that cause you to "feel" like you have more energy and alertness, but it doesn't actually help your cells produce more energy.

🚨 And as addicting as it is, it needs to be used properly in order for it to positive affect your health...

It's best consumed 45-60 minutes after waking up in the AM and finished before 12 PM to avoid delayed effects on sleep and energy production... And enjoyed to your tolerance!

Think of your brain like a sprained ankle. 🧠+🦶
You wouldn’t go for a jog the day after an injury — so why rush alcohol after a concussion?

In those early healing weeks, your brain needs low stimulation, deep rest, and zero extra stressors.

Even small amounts of alcohol can spike inflammation, disrupt your sleep, and make recovery take longer.

👉 If you’re asking, “Can I drink yet?”
First ask, “Am I symptom-free?”
That’s your green light.

👀 Tension headaches are NOT migraines... And migraines are NOT tension headaches.

They're separate conditions that share similarities, but are vastly different in how they present!

⚡️ Tension Headaches

- Dull, aching pain on both sides of the head
- Mild to moderate intensity
- Feels like a tight band around forehead or neck
- Lasts 30 minutes to several days
- Rarely causes nausea or sensitivity to light/sound
- Usually triggered by stress, poor posture, muscle strain
- Not worsened by physical activity

🚨 Migraines

- Throbbing, pulsating pain usually on one side
- Moderate to severe intensity
- Lasts hours to days
- Often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and light/sound sensitivity
- Commonly triggered by stress, hormones, certain foods
- Physical activity often worsens pain
- May include visual aura or other neurological symptoms

If you're still stuck with chronic head pain and unsure what you're dealing with, it's time to find a provider who understands what you're going through...

👉🏼 Migraines are the worst... But there are a ton of treatment options out there to help you!

While medications are often the first, second, and third line of defense, migraines are far more complex than a deficiency in medication.

👀 And yet, study (PMID: 31377873) after study (PMID: 39752405) after study (PMID: 29971976) shows how Vitamin D deficiency negatively impacts migraine pathology, and when used as a treatment, can improve the duration, intensity, and frequency of migraine attacks...
.. Why isn't this on the front page of the news?!

🚨 Furthermore, underlying gut inflammation, histamine intolerances, nutrient deficiencies, brainstem issues, and food sensitivities can also play a significant role in migraine attacks.

If you're still struggling with chronic migraine symptoms and you haven't addressed these underlying issues, we would love to help you.
