Dizziness, brain fog, visual strain, fatigue, and balance changes can affect everyday activities in different ways. We connect your story with functional observations and create a measured plan around what you would like to do more comfortably.
What does ‘functional neurology–informed’ mean here?
Ayla Wolf, DAOM, is a doctor of acupuncture and Oriental medicine with advanced training in applied clinical neuroscience. She uses that perspective to explore patterns in eye movement, balance, coordination, and responses to movement as part of the care offered at Healing Response.
Your visit connects those observations to the activities you want to do more easily. Depending on your goals, the plan may include acupuncture, individualized exercises, pacing strategies, and coordination with your existing care team.
From symptoms to a practical plan
A busy visual environment may be difficult after concussion; balance and coordination can shape post-stroke goals; upright activity may feel challenging with autonomic symptoms. We use these details to choose questions, pacing, and a starting point that fits your daily life.
Together, we identify activities you want to return to, choose a manageable first step, and track changes that matter to you. We can work with your other clinicians when a coordinated approach would be useful.
Care alongside your existing team
Bring any diagnosis, rehabilitation plan, or relevant reports so we can see the bigger picture. We can work alongside the clinicians already involved in your care and revisit your goals as your needs change.
What happens first?
- 1Review the story of your symptoms, what brings them on, and what helps.
- 2Discuss relevant functional observations and which activities you most want to improve.

Could this be a good place to start?
If symptoms after concussion, dizziness, balance concerns, autonomic changes, or post-stroke challenges are affecting your day, this visit can help connect what you are experiencing with a practical plan.
