📣 September is Concussion Awareness Month!

Want an easy way to bring awareness into your practice? We made the flyer for you. 🧠

It’s patient-facing, ready to use, and designed to help patients understand how the neck may be part of the picture when experiencing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, neck pain, and brain fog.

Just add your practice logo and you’re ready to go.

Close your eyes and touch your nose. The sense that just made that possible? It has a name, and it's probably sitting on your assessment report right now.

Proprioception.

Think of it as your neck's internal GPS. It's the constant, silent conversation between the tiny sensors in your cervical spine and your brain, telling you exactly where your head is in space without you having to look.

When that signal gets scrambled after a whiplash, a concussion, or years of chronic neck pain, the effects show up in ways that feel disconnected from the neck itself. Dizziness. Poor balance. That foggy sense of not quite knowing where your body ends and the room begins.

That's why we measure it. Objective proprioceptive testing gives clinicians a concrete number for something patients have struggled to describe for years, and it gives you a clear target to retrain.

A healthy cervical spine and a spine with sensorimotor dysfunction following concussion can look identical on imaging, yet perform very differently in the room with you.

Concussion doesn't just affect the brain. It disrupts the sensorimotor system that lives in the neck, the same system responsible for joint position sense, gaze stability, and postural control.

Here's the contrast we see clinically:

A healthy neck shows accurate, well-controlled movement. Joint position error stays tight. Head-eye coordination is steady. Balance holds under dual-task conditions.

Cervical sensorimotor dysfunction tells a different story. Movement control breaks down. Joint position error increases. Patients overshoot targets, report dizziness with head turns, and struggle to stabilise gaze during movement.

This is why symptoms can linger long after the initial injury clears. The proprioceptive input from the upper cervical spine is no longer reliable, and the brain has to work harder to compensate.

Objective assessment surfaces what a standard exam can miss. When you can measure the deficit, you can target the rehab, track progress, and give patients a clear picture of their recovery.

Below is an example of a healthy cervical spine versus one with a cervical sensorimotor dysfunction following concussion. Can you spot the difference?

What gets measured, improves. And in sports neurology, the neck has been the missing data point — until now. 🎯

We're proud to announce that Kutcher Clinic, one of the leading names in sports neurology, has integrated NeckCare into their clinical workflow for objective neck assessment and rehabilitation.
