* Ryan, did you use the gyrostim there?

Telluride,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Have you suffered a concussion. I see you only ask about gyrostim. Are you having vestibular problems ?

Please feel free to introduce yourself and tell us about your injury and how we can help you.

I was at the ATL center all last week. Like some people here I wish I didn't tell anyone that I was going because everyone now asks me if I'm better and if the treatment has helped.

This was the first time that I've flown since my injury 2.5 years ago, luckily didn't have too many problems with flying over there.
I felt quite good while I was in Atlanta, I think mostly due to being off work and taking it really easy.

After the initial testing they told me that there's not much wrong with me, which on one hand is good obviously, but on the other i was hoping that they would find something.

Did a full week of treatments, and was told that it will probably take a couple of weeks to see results. Also was given some exercises to do at home.

So far after getting back to work I feel about the same as before the treatment, maybe a bit less dizzy while walking.

I'll keep doing the exercises and see if I feel any different in the next couple of months.

I am going next week to the one in Irving for Mad de Debarquement after suffering for 2 years and hope I get some relief. Would you go again? I was at least able to get my insurance to cover it so that has helped.[

So far I haven't seen any benefit from the treatments and I doubt that I will go again, but you have to keep in mind that every injury is unique, and what hasn't done anything for me might help you.

Good luck, I hope it works for you!

Hi. This initial post by the rugby player is the first bit of a clue I've found since my similar issues began 20 years ago. After some concussions, I've had severe vision problems that eye doctors keep telling me do not exist. I almost broke down when I read that you stayed in the dark and listened to audiobooks, because that has been my life for a very long time. I've explored many options, but never before have I heard of Carrick or even thought of pursuing it as a concussion issue instead of a opthamology issue. Maybe because this post is old, but I cannot find any of the pictures you mentioned. And I don't even know if you are still getting updates on this post, but I would like to somehow see these pictures if you're able to reply to me.

Thank you.

I was really curious to know what was so unique about his clinic and it seemed to be his technique. For example using a mirror to trick the persons mind in to thinking there arm is moving. It's still simple rehabilitation that is known to work I guess with better techniques. I'm guessing a lot of it is desensitization rather than using rest and avoidance.

Has anyone have any more input on this place? I'd like to hear from more people who may have given it a shot, as I'm considering it myself.

People have seen both extremes. Some have benefited. Others have just wasted $5,000 to $10,000. There are plenty of Carrick trained chiros throughout the country. They are searchable as functional neurologists and chiropractic neurologists. The local chiros usually have a $800 or so cost for an initial work-up. Some insurance companies will cover it. Some won't.

Not all Carrick trained chiros have equal skill sets or even the same 'medical philosophy' if you can understand what I mean. Chiros tend to be a diverse and independent bunch. Some go for your money. Other pursue helping you with your health.

I recently was contacted by a friend who had a relative who went to Carrick. Evidently it had a profoundly positive effect on him. I've been meaning to contact him to see how things have progressed since returning. If I follow up with this gentlemen, I'll let everyone know.

Hopefully others who have tried will post soon.
