Most people think of movement as something controlled by the muscles and joints — but the truth is, a big part of how you move comes from the information your brain receives. One of the most influential pieces of that information comes from the inner ear and the way your body interprets sound, balance, and orientation.

The holidays are often described as “the most wonderful time of the year,” but for many individuals with sensory sensitivities, they can also be one of the most overwhelming. Bright lights, crowded rooms, loud conversations, unfamiliar routines, and constant social expectations can quickly turn joyful gatherings into distressing experiences.

The vagus nerve is often described as the “superhighway” between the brain and body. It influences mood, inflammation, digestion, heart rate, cognition, and emotional regulation. When vagal function is disrupted—after concussion, chronic stress, neurological disorders, or developmental conditions—the brain’s communication with the body becomes inefficient. This leads to symptoms such as anxiety, brain fog, dysautonomia, headaches, poor focus, and fatigue.

Timing is the invisible scaffolding of behavior. Whether we’re catching a ball, following a conversation, or staying focused in class, the brain depends on precise timing and coordination across sensory, motor, and cognitive systems. The Interactive Metronome (IM) is a training tool that zeroes in on that millisecond precision. By teaching the nervous system to predict and produce actions with improved temporal accuracy, IM often leads to gains in attention, smoother motor co

Balance is something most people take for granted—until it becomes a daily struggle. When dizziness, unsteadiness, or unexplained falls begin affecting a person’s mobility, comfort, or independence, the search for answers can be frustrating. Many balance problems are subtle, complex, and hard to pinpoint without the right tools. This is where Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CAPS) has become an invaluable resource in modern clinics, offering an objective and science-backed

At the Functional Neurology Brain Center of Florida, we believe that true wellness starts with a balanced brain. Every day, we help patients in Delray Beach and nearby communities improve how their brain and body communicate—restoring stability, focus, and confidence. One of the most advanced tools we use to achieve this is the GyroStim Multi-Axis Chair, a breakthrough technology that supports balance, coordination, and overall brain health through movement-based therapy.

When it comes to brain healing and neurological recovery, the emerging field of photobiomodulation — specifically trans-cranial low-level laser therapy (LLLT) — is generating increasing attention. At the Functional Neurology Brain Center of Florida, we believe in giving patients access to evidence-based, forward-looking options. In this blog, we’ll delve into how this technology works, examine the research, and explore how it might fit into a broader neurological rehabilitati

In today’s fast-paced world, our ability to think quickly, stay focused, and react with precision has never been more valuable. Whether you’re an athlete pushing for a competitive edge, a student striving for sharper focus, or someone looking to keep your mind and body performing at their best — cognitive agility matters.

Your eyes are more than just windows to the world—they’re also windows into your brain. Every flicker, fixation, and smooth pursuit of your eyes reveals vital information about how your brain and vestibular system (your body’s balance center) are functioning.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like for the brain to rehearse a task, challenge a reflex, or rebuild a pathway in a virtual realm? At the heart of modern brain rehabilitation, medical virtual reality (VR) is no longer science fiction—it’s a precise, evidence-based tool that clinics in Florida are using to support patients recovering from brain injuries, dizziness, and cognitive challenges.

When it comes to brain rehabilitation, precision matters. Every second of reaction time, every eye movement, and every decision the brain makes is part of a larger network of communication between neurons, muscles, and sensory systems.

October’s crisp evenings bring children laughing through neighborhoods, balancing pumpkin buckets, and zigzagging across sidewalks in search of treats. The following morning, families often shift from the excitement of costumes to a quieter mood of reflection—honoring loved ones and celebrating renewal.

For many families, the journey to understanding and supporting a loved one with autism can feel both hopeful and overwhelming. With so many types of therapies available—behavioral, speech, occupational, and beyond—it’s natural to wonder which options truly address the root of what’s happening in the brain.

Every parent of a child with ADHD or ADD knows the daily challenges: constant motion, difficulty focusing, emotional outbursts, and struggles with learning or organization. While traditional medical approaches often focus on symptom management through medication, many families are now seeking natural, brain-based alternatives that address the root causes of attention and behavior challenges.

In today’s fast-paced world, mental wellness is more than just a state of mind—it’s deeply rooted in the health and function of the brain itself. At the Functional Neurology Brain Center of Florida, we specialize in understanding and optimizing this brain–mood connection to help patients overcome symptoms of anxiety, depression, brain fog, and emotional dysregulation at their source.

Anxiety is often thought of as a psychological or emotional issue — racing thoughts, a pounding heart, or uneasy feelings in social settings. But what many don’t realize is that anxiety has deep roots in the circuitry of the brain. At Functional Neurology Brain Center of Florida, we view anxiety through a neurological lens: it’s not just what’s happening in your mind, but what’s happening in your brain.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is not a disease—it’s a difference in how the brain processes and connects with the world. For families navigating autism, understanding how the brain functions can open doors to new forms of support and meaningful progress.

When people hear “traumatic brain injury,” they often picture a severe accident or obvious neurological impairment. But not all brain injuries announce themselves so clearly. In fact, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)—sometimes called a concussion—can produce subtle, lingering symptoms that affect cognition, mood, and quality of life, long after the initial event.

For many people in Delray Beach and across Florida, migraines are not just headaches—they are debilitating neurological events. Migraine sufferers often experience pulsing or throbbing pain, heightened sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, visual disturbances, and sometimes dizziness. These episodes can last hours or even days, interrupting work, family time, and the everyday pleasures of life under the Florida sun.

Most people in Delray Beach have experienced a headache at some point—whether from stress, dehydration, or lack of sleep. But when headaches become chronic, appearing several times a week or lasting for hours, they’re often more than just a nuisance. They may be a sign that your brain and nervous system are not functioning at their best.
