How EyeBOX Works:
​
-
Quick and Comfortable: The EyeBOX test is simple, non-invasive, and takes only a few minutes to complete. You will be asked to follow moving visual cues on a screen while your eye movements are tracked.
-
Precise, Objective Data: Unlike traditional concussion tests that depend on subjective symptom reporting, EyeBOX provides real-time, objective data. This ensures a more accurate and reliable diagnosis.
-
Immediate Results: Once the test is completed, we receive instant results, allowing us to assess the severity of a concussion and develop a tailored recovery plan without delay. Follow-up scans can also allow us to see if your concussion is improving and whether a "return to play" is appropriate.​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Why EyeBOX is a Game-Changer for Concussion Diagnosis:
​
Early Detection: EyeBOX can detect even the subtlest signs of concussion, allowing us to intervene early, preventing further damage and promoting quicker recovery.
Objective and Accurate: By focusing on eye movements, EyeBOX provides hard data, which means you can trust the results over traditional symptom-based methods.
Track Recovery Progress: EyeBOX also helps us monitor your recovery. Regular assessments track changes in eye movements, offering a clear picture of your progress and when it's safe to return to normal activities.​​​​

How EyeBOX Works

What is Dry Needling?Dry needling is a technique used to target trigger points, or knots, within muscles. By inserting a thin needle into the muscle tissue, the technique stimulates a healing response that helps alleviate pain, relax the muscles, and improve movement. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is based on modern neuroanatomy principles and is specifically designed to treat musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
-
What conditions can Dry Needling treat?Dry needling can help with a variety of conditions, including: Chronic neck and back pain Tennis elbow Shoulder pain Sciatica Knee pain Plantar fasciitis Migraines Muscle spasms and tightness Sports injuries
-
How does Dry Needling work?Dry needling works by targeting trigger points in muscles that cause pain, stiffness, or dysfunction. Once the needle is inserted into the muscle, it helps release tight knots and promotes blood flow to the affected area, speeding up the healing process. The technique stimulates the body’s natural pain-relieving and healing mechanisms, leading to reduced discomfort and improved movement. The procedure is performed by a trained specialist and typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes. Patients may feel a mild sensation when the needle is inserted, but discomfort is generally minimal. There is no downtime required, and many people experience immediate relief after the session.
-
Is Dry Needling Right for Me?If you suffer from chronic muscle pain, stiffness, or sports injuries that haven’t responded to traditional treatments, dry needling could be a great solution. It’s a less invasive and non-surgical treatment option that can provide rapid relief from muscle-related issues. Many patients experience significant improvement in flexibility, range of motion, and pain levels after just a few sessions. Dry needling is safe for most individuals, but it may not be appropriate for everyone. If you’re pregnant, have certain medical conditions (such as blood clotting disorders), or have an active infection, you may not be a candidate for this treatment. Ask Dr. Weber-Lopez if dry needling is right for you during your consultation.
-
What to Expect After Dry Needling TherapyAfter your dry needling session, you may experience some soreness in the treated muscles, similar to how you feel after a deep workout. This is a normal reaction and usually subsides within 24–48 hours. Many patients experience noticeable improvements in their pain levels and mobility shortly after their session. To enhance the results, our specialists may recommend additional treatments or follow-up sessions.
