Home neurofeedback headbands are popular, but for concussion recovery the evidence favors clinician‑supervised care.

Clinic studies (especially ILF neurofeedback) show the clearest gains for persistent headaches and sleep problems, while different protocols like LZNFB have produced memory and attention improvements in trials. Most clinic programs track progress and adjust protocols session to session.

If you’re considering neurofeedback after a concussion, ask about the protocol, how many sessions clinicians recommend, and whether they screen for seizure/photosensitivity.

Curious which protocol fits your main symptom, or want help deciding between clinic care and a consumer device? Ask below or book a consult with our team.

Surgery isn't always the next step: try 6–12 weeks of active care first.

Most atraumatic shoulder pain responds to a staged conservative trial — rest/activity changes, ice or heat at the right time, short-term meds when needed, targeted injections if they help therapy, and structured physical therapy.

This carousel pulls the exact steps the article recommends so you can start safer, smarter rehab now. If pain is severe, or you have fever, night pain, or progressive arm weakness, seek prompt care.

Which of these changes will you try first?

Don't rely on TSH alone to explain how you feel.

Functional medicine works alongside levothyroxine to find root causes — gut issues, nutrient gaps, or chronic stress — that can keep symptoms like fatigue and brain fog active even when your labs look "normal."

Quick practical takeaways: repeat thyroid labs about 6–8 weeks after any dose change, take levothyroxine on an empty stomach and wait 30–60 minutes before eating or supplements, and talk with your clinician before starting selenium or other targeted supplements.

Home balance drills can reduce dizziness, if you pace them around your symptoms.

Start seated with VOR x1, keep sessions short (a few minutes), and change only one factor at a time. Those small choices make it clear what helps and what provokes symptoms.

If symptoms worsen, you have blurred vision with head movement, a fall, or no meaningful progress after a few weeks, get reassessed rather than pushing harder on your own.

Laser therapy fixes herniated discs? Not always.

There are two very different laser paths for disc pain: PLDD (a targeted intradiscal procedure) and surface lasers (LLLT/HILT) that help with pain during rehab. Which one might help you depends on your MRI, your symptoms, and whether conservative care has already been tried.

This carousel pulls straight from our clinic roadmap: who qualifies, what rules out laser, and what the evidence actually says about pain and function. Want a personalized read on whether laser fits your case?

15–20 minutes a day can help retrain your eyes after a concussion.

Start below the point where symptoms spike, track your response (0–10) before and after, and progress slowly: increase tempo first, then add head or balance challenges. Simple seated pursuits, saccades, and pencil push-ups are the core work.

If you have persistent double vision, a worsening headache, or no improvement after 2–4 weeks, seek a clinician evaluation so care can be tailored to you.

Which of these drills would you try today, or would you prefer a guided plan from our team?
