Applied Neuroscience

Why a Brain Based Approach?


The Brain is the master control center of the human body, controlling every single cell, tissue, organ, muscle, and function. When the central nervous system, which is comprised of the brain and spinal cord, is chronically stressed, people can experience signs of dysregulation: pain, fatigue, headaches, trouble sleeping, anxiety, and digestive issues.

Our Approach


Functional Test


Your first visit is used to assess which systems of the brain are and are not functioning properly. There are more than 20 functional tests that are used to determine the health of your brain areas, which include visual assessments, balance and coordination tests, motor movement screenings, and discussing your own personal health history.

After your first visit, a report of findings is given to go over the results of your testing. Based on your findings, you would be recommended a treatment plan that would include drills/exercises for you to incorporate into your everyday life. The drills are designed to strengthen the weaker areas, or to inhibit/calm down overworking areas of the brain and nervous system.


Treatment


The beginning treatment stages involve 1 hour-long session, which include session goals, brain based drills, and a review of at home training regiment for the patient to complete when not with the provider. During the treatment plan, visits are shortened to 30 minutes as the patient progresses through care.


Conditions Managed:

Chronic Pain
Dysautonomia
Balance Issues and Vertigo
Sports Enhancement
Post concussion rehabilitation
Migraines/Headaches
Coordination Issues
Chronic Inflexibility

The Miracle Wave® | Piezo


What is Miracle Wave?

Shock wave therapy (also known as ESWT) is a modern, non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity sound waves (acoustic pulses) to help promote healing faster and more effectively - with no downtime. It is a therapy used worldwide in the field of sport's medicine and physical therapy.

 

Shock wave therapy transmits high peak acoustic pressure waves to promote and accelerate healing for chronic and subacute conditions. Research supports shock wave therapy as an effective treatment for various soft tissue injuries, musculoskeletal pain and mobility issues.

Biological benefits include:


  • Reduce pain faster
  • Improve range of motion
  • Increase blood flow and micro circulation
  • Stimulate tissue remodeling and neovascularization
  • Remodel fibrotic tissue and release trigger points
  • Reverse chronic inflammation
  • Increase nitric oxide (NO)
  • Activates stem cells and growth factors

How does it work?

Shock wave therapy utilizes advanced acoustic wave technology sending noninvasive high-peak pressure waves into injured tissue quickly alleviating pain while also kickstarting the angiogenesis process, accelerating tissue regeneration, and restoring mobility and function to affected areas. Shock wave therapy is known under many names such as acoustic pressure wave therapy (APWT), extracorporeal pulse activation therapy (EPAT), and acoustic wave therapy (AWT); however, the two main categorizes of shock wave therapy are categorized as radial and focused waves. Radial shock wave therapy is optimal for a wider variety of indications, whereas focused shock wave therapy offers a deeper penetration for targeted conditions.

Cellular Effects of K-Laser Therapy

During K-Laser Therapy the infrared laser light interacts with tissues at the cellular level and metabolic activity increases within the cell, improving the transport of nutrients across the cell membrane. This initiates the production of cellular energy (ATP) that leads to a cascade of beneficial effects, increasing cellular function and health.

K-Laser (Class IV)



Class IV K-Laser Therapy is a Pain Free application delivering infrared laser light to the affected tissue. This promotes increased circulation, decreased swelling, reduction of pain, and accelerated healing and tissue repair. Our doctors specialize in K-Laser Therapy; they find it very beneficial in treating of soft tissue Injuries, sprains, strains, repetitive strain injuries as well as back, elbow, arm and neck pains.


Laser Therapy, or “photobiomodulation”, is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser Therapy has been widely utilized in Europe by physical therapists, nurses and doctors as far back as the 1970’s. Now, after FDA clearance in 2002, Laser Therapy is being used extensively in the United States.

Back to Balance Wellness Center FAQs

  • At Back to Balance Wellness Center

    Most people think of "pain" as a problem solely in the muscles or joints. However, pain is actually an output of the brain. Applied Neuroscience focuses on the "software" of your body—training your nervous system to communicate more efficiently with your physical "hardware."


    At Back to Balance Wellness Center, we use these advanced neurological protocols to help patients who have tried "everything" but still feel off-balance, uncoordinated, or in chronic pain.

  • How is this different from standard Physical Therapy?

    While traditional therapy focuses on the "hardware" (muscles and bones), Applied Neuroscience focuses on the "software" (the Nervous System). * We don't just ask where it hurts; we ask how your brain perceives that part of your body.

    • If your brain’s "map" of your ankle or back is blurry due to an old injury, it will create pain to protect you.
    • We use neurological drills to "clear up the map," which often leads to instant improvements in flexibility and strength that traditional stretching can't match.
  • Will the Drills or Assessments Be Painful?

    Not at all. In fact, the goal is often the exact opposite.

    • Neurological Drills: These might involve visual tracking, inner-ear (vestibular) exercises, or specific sensory inputs.
    • Immediate Feedback: We use "re-testing" after every drill. If a drill makes you feel tighter or weaker, we stop immediately.
    • Comfort-First: This is a brain-based approach; if your brain feels safe, your body relaxes. You should leave these sessions feeling more "connected" and relaxed, not sore.
  • Is This Approach Safe?

    It is exceptionally safe. Because we are using your body’s natural sensory systems (eyes, ears, skin), there is no forceful manipulation or invasive equipment.

    • Guided by Your Body: We use your own neurological "feedback loops" to dictate the pace.
    • No Stress: We aim to lower the stress on your nervous system, not increase it.
    • Universal Application: This approach is safe for everyone from seniors working on balance to high-level athletes looking for an edge.
  • Does It Really Work?

    The results of Applied Neuroscience can often feel like "magic," but it’s just biology. By improving the quality of information your brain receives, your brain allows your muscles to relax.


    It is highly effective for:

    • Balance and Dizziness issues
    • Chronic, "unexplained" pain
    • Post-concussion recovery support
    • Poor posture that doesn't respond to stretching

    When the brain feels "safe" and has clear information, pain often diminishes instantly.

  • Why Do Results Vary?

    The nervous system is the most complex structure in the known universe, and every brain is different. Results can vary based on:

    • Neurological History: Past injuries, concussions, or even high-stress levels can "clutter" the nervous system.
    • Neural Plasticity: It takes time and repetition to "rewire" a movement pattern that has been ingrained for years.
    • Home Integration: The brain learns best through short, frequent bursts of input. Patients who perform their "brain drills" at home see much faster and more permanent results.

    We take the time to map your specific "neural blind spots" so we can provide the exact input your brain needs to feel balanced again.
