Vision and Concussion: The Brain-Eye Connection
In this insightful episode of the Be the Cause Podcast, we speak with Dr. Danise Miller, an optometrist with a specialty in neurovision rehab and the owner of Thrive with Vision. Dr. Miller explains that vision is a function of the brain, not just the eyes, and how a concussion—a form of traumatic brain injury (TBI)—can disrupt the brain's neurons, leading to often-overlooked vision problems.
She discusses the difference between a standard eye exam and her work, which focuses on taking care of the brain and making visual processes more efficient.
Learn why symptoms like dizziness, nausea, and blurry or double vision may not show up immediately after a concussion. Dr. Miller also introduces the concept of the brain's "gas tank" and explains how vision training, rehabilitation, and therapeutic glasses can help patch the "holes" caused by a brain injury to facilitate true recovery and regulate the nervous system.

The Missing Link in Concussion Care: Brain and Body Communication
Join Amanda Wentland and special guest Dr. Demuth, a graduate of Harvard Medical School's postgraduate program and the founder of Demuth Spinal Care and Concussion Center in Minnesota.
Many people seek acute care for a concussion, but then ask, "What's next?" Dr. Demuth, an upper cervical chiropractor and author of Game Changer, explains why it’s vital to address a concussion immediately and why long-term care still matters, even years later. We dive into how brain injuries can disrupt communication between the brain and body and why delaying care can lead to longer symptoms like headaches, neck pain, and brain fog.
Learn about their unique approach to restoring the body's structural and neurological alignment through gentle upper cervical care, which focuses on supporting your nervous system and promoting the brain's ability to heal and adapt. Discover the "holding is healing" philosophy and the hope that recovery is not just possible, but powerful.
