Did you know that one of the most common causes of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)? 👀💫

If you’ve ever experienced a sudden spinning sensation when rolling over in bed, standing up, bending down, or changing positions, BPPV may be the cause.

At the Neurologic Wellness Institute, we perform specialized positional testing to accurately identify which part of the peripheral vestibular system is involved. Common assessments include:

✔️ Dix-Hallpike Test – Evaluates the posterior and anterior semicircular canals by monitoring specific eye movements (nystagmus).
✔️ Supine Roll Test – Assesses for horizontal canal BPPV by observing horizontal eye movements.
✔️ Bow and Lean Test – An alternative positional test that can help diagnose certain forms of horizontal canal BPPV.
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward developing the right treatment plan and helping patients get back to living with confidence.

Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders 💡
Creatine Monohydrate is recommended as a top supplement because it’s a powerful energy utilization tool for the brain.

While creatine is often associated with muscle strength, recovery, and athletic performance, the brain actually uses a higher concentration of creatine than muscle tissue due to its high energy demands.

Creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements available, shown to be safe, effective, and easy to take (most commonly in powder form). At recommended doses, it’s well tolerated and rarely causes side effects.

Clinically, creatine may help support:
• Brain energy production
• Focus and mental clarity
• Fatigue and low stamina
• Brain fog
• Post-concussion recovery

🧠 If you’re struggling with brain fog, fatigue, or lingering concussion symptoms, your nervous system may need targeted support.

Dr. Nick talks about the cerebellum and how we use it during treatment. The cerebellum is termed the ‘little brain’ because it is much small than the cerebral cortex (big brain) and sits just underneath. The cerebellum has more neurons than the rest of the brain combined. It is the conductor as it coordinates voluntary movements, thoughts, and emotions. Because the cerebellum is involved in so many processes, it talks to many other areas of the brain. We can activate the cerebellum in multiple ways to stimulate other areas that need blood flow and healing.

👉Check out the video under “Education” on our YouTube channel for more in depth information on how the cerebellum is used in treatment!

👀 Peripheral Vision = Brain Performance

This is Senaptec Keep Away, a game designed to train peripheral vision, visual awareness, and attention.

While moving a dot on the screen, patients must stay aware of:
⚪ Multiple moving objects
🔴 A chasing target
🧠 Their own movement and timing

To level it up, we add dual-tasking—like naming animals that start with “A” while playing. This activates the frontal lobe, forcing the brain to manage thinking + seeing + reacting at the same time.

This type of training is especially powerful for athletes, where success depends on seeing the play, tracking defenders, and making decisions in real time.

07/24/2026

“After having vertigo for 10 weeks and doctors telling me they don’t know much about vertigo and saying they will monitor me I was frustrated. It was hard to function at home and work. I did a quick Google search to see who treated the symptoms I had and found Neurologic Wellness Institute. I was skeptical that they could help but I went to their free meeting and was impressed with what I heard. I agreed to the treatment program but was still not sure how much they would be able to help. Dr Nick was awesome. He asked me what my goals were and worked towards them with each appointment. In 4 weeks he not only helped me hit every goal, he exceeded my goals. Even when I developed a new symptom he would stop and figure out what might be causing it. All the staff is amazing as well. The techs were friendly and knowledgeable. Chris at the front desk patiently answered all my questions and always greeted me with a smile. I would recommend this amazing team to anyone.”

We are honored to play a role in all our patients’ health journeys.

Stress, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed? Sometimes your eyes can play a bigger role than you realize. 👀🧠

The Far-Farther Exercise is designed to help engage the brain’s visual and autonomic systems. Spending hours focused on close-up tasks like phones, computers, or books keeps your eyes in a converged position, which may contribute to activating your body’s stress response. Alternating your focus between a distant target and your thumb encourages eye divergence, helping promote a more relaxed, “rest-and-digest” state.

Try it:
👀 Focus on a distant object for 5 seconds
👍 Shift your focus to your thumb for 1 second
👀 Return to the distant object for 5 seconds
🔁 Repeat for 5 rounds

Simple visual exercises can be one piece of a comprehensive approach to improving brain and nervous system function.

Lingering concussion symptoms are not something you just “wait out.” 🧠⚡

At the Neurologic Wellness Institute, we take an active recovery approach to post-concussion care — because brain healing requires precision, not passive rest.

If you’re dealing with:
✔️ Brain fog
✔️ Headaches
✔️ Dizziness
✔️ Slower reaction times
✔️ Feeling “off” months after a concussion

There’s likely an underlying functional issue in the nervous system.

Here’s what makes our approach different:

🔎 Comprehensive Neurological Assessment
We go beyond basic screenings with:
• Detailed physical & neurological exams
• Advanced eye movement tracking
• Neurocognitive testing
• QEEG brain mapping
• Balance & vestibular assessments

This allows us to pinpoint exactly where dysfunction is occurring.

🛠️ Personalized Neuro Rehab Plan
Based on your results, we design a customized care plan that may include:
• Coordination & reaction time training
• Vestibular rehabilitation
• Visual therapy
• Therapies to reduce inflammation
• Targeted neuroplasticity-based interventions

🎯 Our goal isn’t to “manage” symptoms — it’s to restore brain function so you can confidently return to work, sports, and daily life.
