🚨 Ever heard of the Red Desaturation Test?

Traditionally used to check optic nerve function, we also use it to help assess the midbrain 🧠

The midbrain plays a huge role in things like blood flow, eye responses, and autonomic nervous system function. After a concussion, TBI, dysautonomia, or other neurological stress, it may not work as efficiently as it should.

🔴 Here’s the quick test:
• Hold up something red
• Cover one eye at a time
• See if the color looks different between eyes

If one eye sees the color as pinker, duller, or less vivid, it may indicate altered neurological function, reduced blood flow, or impaired signaling pathways connected to the midbrain.

In functional neurology, this test can help identify asymmetries and guide rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving blood flow, sensory integration, and brain performance.

“Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about the Neurologic Wellness Institute and Dr. Nick. We came here seeking help for our 13-year-old after a severe brain bleed, hoping for healing and progress during an incredibly difficult season of life. What we found was so much more than therapy — we found compassion, encouragement, and a true healing environment that felt like family.

Since beginning treatment, we have seen marked improvements in nausea, balance, and vision problems. The most incredible improvement has been in stamina and overall endurance, which has given our child so much more confidence and quality of life.

Dr. Nick has been knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in our child’s recovery every step of the way. The entire support staff has also been absolutely amazing. From the very first phone call, every interaction has been caring, welcoming, and supportive.

This clinic has created a rehab environment filled with hope, kindness, and healing after we exhausted traditional therapy options and we are deeply grateful for the role they have played in our child’s recovery journey. We highly recommend them to any family searching for compassionate and dedicated care.” 💫

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

Struggling with sleep issues, poor recovery, or an inconsistent sleep schedule? 😴💡

At the Neurologic Wellness Institute, we use specialized light therapy protocols designed to help support healthy circadian rhythm function and improve overall sleep quality.

Here’s how it works ⬇️
Patients wear an eye mask equipped with safe, non-harmful LED lights for about 20 minutes during treatment.

The goal? To help stimulate the pineal gland — the part of the brain heavily involved in regulating your circadian rhythm and sleep-wake cycle.

🌅 Normally, morning sunlight exposure helps activate this system naturally.
🧠 That light input signals the brain and supports proper melatonin release later in the evening.
💤 When circadian rhythms become disrupted, sleep quality, recovery, energy levels, and neurologic function can all be affected.

By using targeted light therapy in a clinical setting, we help train and support healthier circadian rhythm patterns while patients undergo other neurologic therapies and rehabilitation programs.

Better sleep can play a major role in supporting:
⚡ Energy levels
⚡ Brain function
⚡ Recovery
⚡ Cognitive performance
⚡ Overall neurologic health

🚨 Are your glasses helping your brain… or hurting your performance? 👓🧠 (BlueSync glasses by )

Not all blue light is bad. Your body actually NEEDS certain wavelengths of blue light to support energy, focus, alertness, and a healthy circadian rhythm. ☀️⚡

These specialized light-filtering glasses are designed to selectively filter harmful blue light while amplifying the wavelengths your brain and body use for peak performance. Unlike traditional blue light blockers that block everything, these lenses help support natural brain function while also protecting against UVA, UVB, and HEVL exposure.

Benefits people may notice:
✅ Increased natural energy
✅ Sharper focus & mental clarity
✅ Improved mood
✅ Better daytime performance
✅ Reduced fatigue during long commutes or screen time

While they can be used indoors, they’re most effective in natural daylight to help optimize your body’s internal clock and overall performance. 🌅

Your environment impacts your brain more than you think. Small changes in light exposure can make a big difference in how you feel, think, and function every day.

Chronic headaches that don’t respond to medication? There may be another option ⚡🧠

The GammaCore device is a non-invasive transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulator designed to activate your body’s “rest and digest” system—helping regulate the nervous system at its core.

Here’s why that matters:
The vagus nerve plays a major role in calming the nervous system, reducing inflammation, supporting healthy brain function, and restoring balance in the body.
✔️ FDA-approved for migraines & headache reduction
✔️ Drug-free, non-invasive approach
✔️ Targets the vagus nerve directly
This therapy is also used as an adjunct to support:
• Concussion recovery
• Dysautonomia
• Brain-Gut connection
At the Neurologic Wellness Institute, we use this technology daily and many patients experience fewer headaches and an improved sense of overall well-being.

If you’ve tried everything and still struggle with headaches, it might be time to look at the nervous system.

“I cannot say enough good things!!! This place is amazing! My daughter came here after struggling with post viral dysautonomia. She is 4 and it took us months of er visits, gi specialist, endoscopy etc till we figured out what was going on. She got a virus and after that struggled with intense nausea, stomach pain and dizziness that would worsen when she moved, and many more litlle bizzare symptoms....It was 24/7 but any movement would make it even worse.... It was so bizzare and scary! And so hard for a 4 year old to not be able to run and play.... She lost a lot of weight, was not herself at all...would just lay on the couch all day...We found this place 3 months into this ordeal, we saw Dr.Nate and Izabella and they are amazing! Only wish we came here sooner, Olivia has improved sooo much! She is running and playing like normal 4 year old. As a mom, I’m so grateful to them and will continue to see them in the future! Highly recommend!!!! They really care and listen and are super knowledgeable!! Thank you Dr. Nate and Isabella!!! 🤗 forever grateful”

Our very own Dr. George Michalopoulos, a board-certified chiropractic neurologist, sits down with Dr. Stephen Barrett on to discuss functional neurology, brain health, and treating complex nervous system conditions beyond traditional chiropractic care.

After suffering a football injury himself, he was inspired to pursue a career helping others restore neurological function and improve quality of life. His journey led him through:
🎓 5 years at National Chiropractic College in Chicago
🧠 3 additional years of specialized neurology training
🏥 Fellowship training in traumatic brain injury & vestibular rehabilitation

So what is functional neurology? 👇

Unlike traditional approaches that focus only on pain or physical rehabilitation, functional neurology evaluates how the brain and nervous system are functioning and works to improve neurological performance through targeted therapies and rehabilitation strategies.

Conditions commonly addressed include:
✅ Concussions & traumatic brain injuries
✅ Vestibular disorders & dizziness
✅ Dysautonomia & POTS
✅ Early cognitive decline
✅ Neurological dysfunction affecting balance, focus, and coordination

The nervous system controls everything in the body — and optimizing brain function can have a profound impact on overall health and performance. ⚡🧠

👟 Are your shoes changing the way your brain receives information from your body? 🧠

Dr. Nick explains why footwear may play a much bigger role in brain function, balance, posture, and sensory processing than most people realize.

Your feet are packed with neurological input:
✔️ 26 bones
✔️ 33 joints
✔️ Thousands of sensory receptors sending constant feedback to the brain

When your feet move naturally, your brain receives critical information about body position, balance, coordination, and movement through space. But many modern shoes — especially those with narrow toe boxes, thick soles, and rigid support — can limit this sensory feedback.

👣 The result?
Reduced proprioception, altered movement patterns, decreased balance awareness, and less sensory input to the nervous system.

Restrictive footwear can be “sensory deprivation chambers” because they can prevent the foot from functioning the way it was designed to.

✅ Features of neurologically healthier footwear may include:
• Wider toe boxes
• Flexible soles
• Natural foot movement
• Shoes that bend with the joints of the foot

Supporting natural foot mechanics may help improve sensory integration, balance, gait, and overall neurological performance.

At Neurologic Wellness Institute, we focus on the connection between the brain, nervous system, movement, and sensory processing to help patients optimize neurological function naturally.
