🧠 Understanding Headaches

Headaches are one of the most common forms of pain people experience — but did you know the pain you feel doesn’t actually come from the brain itself? I break down how different types of headaches arise, why they can be so debilitating, and when it’s time to seek expert neurological care. From tension and migraine to headaches caused by injuries like concussions, effective evaluation and treatment can make all the difference.

Whether you’re dealing with frequent headaches or unexplained symptoms that won’t go away with over-the-counter remedies, my comprehensive guide helps you understand the causes, classifications, and treatment options rooted in Sports Neurology and Pain Management expertise.

Ever wonder why your New Year’s resolutions fizzle out before February? In his latest blog, I break down how your brain’s wiring — from the energy-costly prefrontal cortex to the habit-driven basal ganglia — influences goal setting and habit formation. I explain why willpower alone isn’t enough and shares neuroscience-based strategies to build lasting change and make resolutions stick in 2026.

The Neuroscience of Resolutions: Why Your Brain Quits by February and How to Hack It for 2026

🧠💪 The Mind–Body Connection: How Movement Sharpens the Brain

Emerging research continues to confirm what science and experience tell us: physical activity doesn’t just strengthen the body — it strengthens the brain.

Exercise has been shown to improve short-term mental processing speed, helping the brain process and respond to information more quickly. Why? Movement stimulates powerful neurological changes, including:

✔️ Neurogenesis & neuroplasticity — supporting memory, learning, and adaptability
✔️ Improved blood flow — delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for brain performance
✔️ Neurotransmitter release — boosting dopamine and serotonin for focus, mood, and motivation
✔️ Reduced inflammation — protecting long-term cognitive health

The exciting part? Benefits aren’t limited to intense workouts. Even regular, everyday physical activity may provide short-term cognitive gains, especially through improved frontal lobe blood flow and mental stimulation.

From walking and resistance training to HIIT and brain training, consistency matters more than perfection. By moving more and training smarter, anyone can optimize brain health and unlock their full potential.

🧠 Move your body. Strengthen your brain. Elevate your performance.

At our Center for Sports Neurology and Pain Medicine, we offer Cyclical Variation in Adaptive Conditioning (CVAC)—a cutting-edge technology designed to support conditioning, recovery, and overall performance.

Housed in our Performance Area, the CVAC unit features a familiar pod-like design and is officially categorized as exercise equipment. Through rapid, controlled changes in atmospheric pressure, CVAC promotes physiological adaptations similar to altitude training—without traditional physical exertion.

🔹 Supports cardiovascular conditioning
🔹 May help reduce tissue edema and chronic pain
🔹 Helps athletes maintain fitness while sidelined by injury
🔹 Offers conditioning options for individuals with chronic conditions that limit traditional training

Our team is also actively studying CVAC’s potential role in concussion recovery, sleep disorders, and other chronic neurological conditions. Learn more about CVAC here 👉 https://www.vernonwilliamsmd.com/approach-tools-services/cyclical-variation-in-adaptive-conditioning/

📍 Experience advanced performance technology—right here in our center.
📩 Contact us to learn more or see if CVAC is right for you.

❄️🧠 Winter can be tough on both body and mind — but your brain doesn’t have to hibernate.

While colder temperatures and shorter days can make outdoor activities more challenging (especially depending on where you live), there is plenty you can do to “winterize” your brain against depression and mental decline.

From staying mentally engaged to prioritizing movement, sleep, and social connection, small, intentional habits can make a meaningful difference all season long.

Your brain health matters year-round — even in winter. 💙

🧠 Why do New Year’s resolutions fail by February—and what does your brain have to do with it?

Every January, we set ambitious fitness and health goals. And every year, by “Quitter’s Day” (the second Friday in January), motivation starts to fade. But this isn’t about laziness or lack of willpower.

There are two competing brain systems — not motivation — responsible for why nearly 90% of resolutions fail. The key to lasting change? Understanding neuroplasticity and working with your brain, not against it.
