“I Didn’t Hit My Head.” That Doesn’t Rule Out a Concussion.

A concussion doesn’t always start with a direct hit to the head.
That can feel surprising if we picture brain injuries only as the result of hitting something.
Neurologist Dr. Tamara Greene explains how sudden movement of the head and brain can cause injury, even without direct head impact.
A short explanation from her conversation with Andrei on The Care Cartography.

The Health Question That Can Feel Awkward

Some health details are harder to talk about than others.

Bowel habits are one of them. In this excerpt from The Care Cartography, Dr. Adelena Izold, ND, shares why she asks patients about their digestive habits.

This conversation with Andrei puts an often uncomfortable subject into everyday language.

Why doesn’t a doctor just scan everything?

With advanced imaging available, it’s a fair question: what does a hands-on exam add?

In this clip from The Care Cartography, our guest explains how she uses findings from a neurological exam to focus the questions she wants further testing to answer.

She describes looking at reflexes and other findings to help identify where a problem may be—and which area may need closer investigation. She also discusses explaining those findings to patients, so they understand the reasoning behind the evaluation.

Andrei’s question opens a conversation about something patients don’t always get to hear: how a provider thinks through the purpose of a test.

Feeling Off Balance? Your Inner Ear May Be Part of the Story.

Balance problems can be confusing. The term “vestibular therapy” doesn’t make them any easier to understand.

In this excerpt from The Care Cartography, Andrei asks our guest to explain it in plain English. She describes how therapists assess balance and discusses the kinds of movements and exercises that may be part of an individual patient’s care.

An unfamiliar term, explained through a conversation.

You Can’t Always Remove Stress. What Can You Do Instead?

You can’t always change the job, the relationship, or the pressure. So where does the conversation about your health go from there?

In this moment from the AP Healthcare podcast, our guest shares her approach to understanding a patient’s concerns: asking about daily life, exploring individual factors, and listening to what matters to that person.

Her perspective on stress is especially relatable: removing the source isn’t always possible, so she considers how to support resilience.

Ever wonder how doctors test the "electricity" in your body? 🤔⚡

Did you know your body runs on an intricate electrical network? Dr. Tamara Green, a board-certified neurologist, breaks down the field of clinical neurophysiology in terms we can all understand.

She explains how doctors evaluate the central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord) using EEGs to study brain waves and diagnose conditions like epilepsy. But it doesn't stop there! They also study the peripheral nervous system—the nerves and muscles throughout your body—using EMG nerve conduction studies.

It's amazing how our bodies are wired! 🧠⚡

This simple procedure can knock out severe headaches in minutes!

If you suffer from intense headaches that radiate from the back of your head, you might have irritation in your occipital nerves.

In this clip, Dr. Tamara Green explains the incredible effectiveness of occipital nerve blocks. She uses a simple test to find the exact spot of irritation at the base of the skull (which she hilariously calls the "heifer stop" sign!). Once she targets that area with a quick injection, the relief is almost instantaneous. Patients can literally walk in with a massive headache and walk out feeling completely fine.

Have you ever noticed a muscle that makes a "crunching" sound?

Dr. Tamara Green explains a notable cause of severe, chronic headaches at the base of the skull.

During evaluation, physicians may find that the occipitalis muscles overlying the occipital nerve are so tense that they produce a crunching sound when a needle is inserted. Since muscle is soft tissue, this response is abnormal.

This sound indicates a severe muscle spasm directly over the occipital nerve. The persistent spasm irritates the nerve where it exits the skull, causing intense, radiating occipital headaches.

Fortunately, once neurologists identify the source of tension, they can provide targeted treatments. A trigger point injection addresses the muscle spasm, while an occipital nerve block targets the irritated area around the nerve, offering patients significant relief.

If you experience persistent tension at the base of your neck or radiating headaches, please share your experience in the comments below.

Are you expecting to be completely pain-free? Here is why that might not be realistic. 📉

Healing is a journey, and paradoxically, it sometimes requires enduring a little discomfort to finally get out of discomfort.

Dr. Derrick Cox explains the importance of establishing your baseline before an injury even happens. He reminds us that the idea of being 100% pain-free is not realistic, even for a person who has no injury at all! When you collaborate with rehab specialists, understanding what an acceptable and reasonable level of pain looks like is the key to true recovery.
