Focus. After a concussion or dizzy spell, this can be one of the most difficult things to do. 🥴
.
To help, let's talk convergence.
.
Convergence is when you look at an object far away and then focus on something closer. If your eyes are playing tricks on you, this simple task can cause headaches, dizziness and double vision and is termed “convergence insufficiency”.
.
Exercises, as demonstrated here, combined with balance training, reaction timing and multi-tasking can help improve your symptoms after a dizzy spell🌀

Even though we are chiropractors and physical therapists, we are not all crazy 😉
.
.
One of the many tools of a chiropractor or therapist is the adjustment or manipulation of the spine or joint.
.
We view the adjustment as way of mobilizing a restricted joint that should otherwise have proper motion. This can entail a high velocity low amplitude (HVLA) adjustment that involves popping of the joints l(ike those seen on your favorite chiro YouTube compilations) or something as gentle as massaging a shoulder or ankle into a greater range of motion.
.
Because of the greater associated risk with aggressive adjustments, we usually gravitate towards more gentle adjustments or mobilizations to achieve the same results. 🙌This usually puts patients at ease who are not familiar with chiropractic or who otherwise have any reservations. As always, our goal is to make sure you are Better Than Before!

Did you know , your ability to control what movement occurs at the knee when running or jumping🏃♂️ helps to determine your risk for a future ACL injury?
.
.
Most ACL injuries occur during non-contact movements involving changes of direction, and sorry ladies - we're 4-6x more likely to injure the ACL than males. 😭
.
.
Try this soft landing drill to work on control of your hips, knees, and ankles while applying load.
.
🌟 The key is to keep the knee in line with the toes and sink into the hips. This is a quite exercise, you should try your hardest not to make a sound as you softly land.
.
Add a band for a little extra resistance.
