New Life Wellness Center Recognizes Balance Awareness Week With Free Computerized Balance Testing

SMITHTOWN, N.Y. - Sept. 4, 2014 - PRLog -- New Life Wellness Center today announced it will be offering free computerized balance testing for patients and the general public in recognition of Balance Awareness Week on Monday, September 15^th  at its Smithtown location. “Defeat Dizziness” is the theme of the annual week sponsored by the Vestibular Disorders Association (VEDA) to help people recognize the symptoms of a balance disorder and seek effective treatment.

According to Dr. W. Brent Reynolds, a board-certified Chiropractic Neurologist specializing in balance disorders and co-owner of New Life Wellness Center, “The body’s sense of balance is maintained by a complex interaction of the inner ear and brain, known as the vestibular system, along with the eyes and spinal cord. People who suffer with vestibular disorders due to injury or disease struggle to remain oriented and functional.  Dizziness, unsteadiness, vertigo (http://www.newlifechiropractic.com/vertigo), ringing in the ears, hearing and vision problems are some of the symptoms that make common day-to-day tasks like bathing, getting dressed, walking, and concentrating very challenging; functioning in the workplace or at school can be extremely difficult.   Oftentimes the clumsiness accompanying a vestibular disorder can lead to dangerous trips and falls.”

VEDA estimates that more than one-third of Americans aged 40 or over have experienced a balance dysfunction.  Children also suffer from the disorder; in addition to impairing motor development and balance, a vestibular deficit may cause poor gaze stability that inhibits children from learning to read.

Dr. Reynolds adds, “Our computerized balance test is non-invasive and painless and can give us an accurate, digital assessment of a person’s balance difficulties. Rehabilitation for a balance disorder involves Chiropractic Neurological care and vestibular therapies which help restore the health of the vestibular/balance system without drugs or invasive procedures.  We encourage those experiencing unexplained disorientation, dizziness, clumsiness or other symptoms to take advantage of our free balance evaluation.”
