OUR PHILOSOPHY
We guide the brain and body back to normal function after a concussion with a clear, step-by-step approach. Whether symptoms are lingering or something still feels off, we help you understand what is happening and what to do next.
At NeuroWorks Wellness, we approach concussion recovery by looking at how the brain and body are working together, not just at symptoms. After a concussion, it is common for imaging to appear normal while someone still feels far from it. This is because the challenge is often functional rather than structural. The systems that regulate energy, focus, balance, and stress can become disrupted and do not always return to normal without the right guidance.
We focus on understanding what is actually driving those disruptions. For some, it is the way the nervous system responds to stress and activity. For others, it may involve the neck, visual system, or overall recovery capacity. Rather than assuming every concussion follows the same path, we take the time to assess how each person is functioning so care can be directed with purpose and clarity from the start.
Our role is to provide structure in a situation that often feels uncertain. Many people are told to rest and wait, but recovery is more active than that. When guided appropriately, movement, routine, and gradual progression help the brain and body recalibrate. We show our patients what to do, how to do it, and when to progress so they are not left guessing from day to day.
Our goal is to support a steady and complete recovery. That means helping individuals return not only to their activities, but to feeling like themselves again. By combining thoughtful assessment, clear planning, and ongoing guidance, we create a process that is both grounded and practical. This allows recovery to move forward with confidence, consistency, and a clear sense of direction.
We are currently serving clients virtually.

RECOVERY
Most people come to us after trying to figure this out on their own.
WE HELP PEOPLE WITH
Lingering Symptoms
If you have been “cleared” after a concussion but still do not feel like yourself, there is usually more to the story. Symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and brain fog often persist when the nervous system, blood flow, and recovery processes have not fully recalibrated. We look at how your brain and body are functioning together so recovery can move forward.
Headaches & Pressure
If headaches keep coming back or feel different than they used to, there is often an underlying pattern. After a concussion, headaches can be influenced by the neck, stress response, gut dysfunction, or changes in how the body regulates tension and blood flow. We take a closer look at what is driving the pattern so care can be more targeted and effective.
Dizziness & Balance Issues
Feeling off balance or lightheaded is common after a concussion, even weeks later. This is often related to how the brain, eyes, and inner ear are communicating, along with how the body is responding to movement. We assess these systems together to understand where the disconnect is and how to restore stability.
Brain Fog
If concentration feels harder, thinking feels slower, or your child is struggling in school, it is not something to ignore. These changes often reflect how the brain is managing energy and processing information after injury. We help identify what is limiting cognitive function so it can improve steadily over time.
Fatigue
If your energy has not returned after a concussion, there is usually a reason. The body’s recovery systems, including sleep, hormones, and nervous system regulation, can be disrupted in ways that are not always addressed. We look at how your system is producing and using energy so recovery does not stall.
Something's Not Right
Sometimes the hardest thing to explain is the most important. You or your child may not have one clear symptom, but something still feels off. This is often a sign that multiple systems have not fully settled back into balance. We take these concerns seriously and work to connect the dots so you have a clear path forward.

HAPPY CLIENTS
I’ve been seeing Dr. Hailey and Dr. Megan off an on for the last year. As a collegiate athlete this is great place that I’ve gone to for functional medicine and chiropractic treatment. The two of them have created a specialized treatment plan for my long term goals as well as provided treatment for my short term aches, pains, injuries and everything in between. They know the importance of a healthy body and treat each clients needs on an individual basis. I would highly recommend anybody that is looking for specialized care with a family feel to go check them out. Tell them I sent you!

Worked/working with both Dr Hailey Heard & Dr Megan Arnold. I myself have been a patient as well as my 7 year old (she started at age 4, I think) I’m an autoimmune momma with an autoimmune spectrum child. Love these ladies! They have helped both of us heal and repair our immune systems. Highly recommend them for chiropractic and nutritional support. They both have a tremendous knowledge of genetics and how knowing your genetics can help with planning your nutritional needs.
If you’re like me you were tired of going to doctors who have no health problems and are unable to relate to the struggle of being sick. These doctors can relate and sympathize. It is refreshing.
You won’t regret reaching out to them!
I have had multiple head injuries throughout my life, but it wasn't until Dr. Megan made the connection between my autoimmune progression and my initial concussion that my entire health history made sense. She can truly put two and two together to come up with a reasonable explanation for what other doctors said was a mystery. I trust her completely.
