How Past Injuries Affect Your Performance
Many people don't realize that issues with strength, coordination, and athletic abilities can be directly linked to previous injuries - particularly concussions and other head or body impacts that may have happened years ago. 

Effects of Past Concussions
When working with patients, I frequently discover:

• Arm, leg, and core muscles that aren't firing properly due to old injuries
• Balance issues stemming from previous falls or impacts
• Coordination problems affecting sports performance and daily activities
• Visual tracking difficulties affecting performance in various activities
• Reduced endurance and unexplained fatigue during exertion
• Jaw dysfunction and TMJ issues causing pain, clicking, or restricted movement
• Headaches that originate from jaw misalignment following head trauma
• Anxiety, depression, ADHD, memory and cognition issues
• Sensory processing issues
• 
  

Jaw and TMJ Connection to Concussions
Many people are surprised to learn that jaw problems often stem from concussion injuries. The impact forces during a concussion can:

• Disrupt the alignment or the shape of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
• Create tension patterns in the jaw muscles
• Lead to clicking, popping, or restricted jaw movement
• Cause referred pain to the head, neck, and shoulders
• Contribute to headaches, ear pain, and even sinus issues
• 
  

Immediate Improvements
During assessments and treatments:

• Muscles that haven't been working properly can be "turned back on" almost instantly
• Strength can return quickly to previously weak areas
• Movement patterns can be corrected and optimized
• Balance and coordination can significantly improve
• Performance in sports and daily activities can dramatically change
• Jaw function can be restored, reducing pain and improving mobility
• Eye tracking can dramatically improve
• Stunned sensory and motor pathways can be reset
• 
  

Join Us To Learn About Recovery

• Improve athletic performance at any level
• Enhance capabilities for everyday activities
• Recover function that may have been compromised for years
• Prevent future injuries through proper functional movement
• Address jaw pain and dysfunction for better overall comfort
•
