Implementing this form of therapy begins with a detailed examination that utilizes bed side and advanced diagnostic testing to help illustrate the cause of your complaint.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your eyes must not only allow you to see clearly, but also have the ability to move in a co ordinated fashion whether looking up close or far away, or from side to side or up and down. Furthermore they must have the ability to remain steady while performing these activities in addition to fixing your gaze on a steady target. The inability to perform these functions can be due to damage to different areas in the brain which we can help uncover using advanced diagnostic testing. Your results are projected on a flat screen T.V where you can see how you compare to normal findings.
Of equal importance, we will evaluate the function of your vestibular(balance) system as this is intimately connected to your visual system. Failure to do so, overlooks an important area necessary for your recovery. Finally, your treatment is delivered by our doctors. The visual system is very complex therefore real time response to treatment must be monitored by an expert to help prevent you from exceeding your capacity during your treatment session.

Head-Eye Vestibular Motion Therapy can help improve brain function through a concept called neuroplasticity. Simply put, communication between the cells in your brain(neurons) that may have been lost due to brain trauma can be improved by therapy such as Head-Eye Vestibular Motion Therapy. It is important to note that neuroplasticity is always present regardless of age, however older age and multiple brain traumas can potentially make recovery longer.
