When someone walks through my doors searching for clarity about their brain, their health, or their symptoms, I want them to feel one thing above all else—hope. Your brain is resilient, responsive, and capable of remarkable transformation. No matter your age, history, or current challenges, there is always a pathway forward, and comprehensive brain testing allows us to uncover that path together with compassion and precision.

Comprehensive brain testing, within an integrative practice, means we are not just looking at isolated symptoms or one small part of the nervous system. Instead, we examine how your brain communicates with your body, how it processes information from the senses, how it responds to stress, and how it maintains balance, focus, mood, and movement. This deeper level of insight helps us understand why you feel the way you do—and more importantly, how to support your healing.

Early identification of neurological imbalances can change the entire trajectory of someone’s life. Subtle changes in vision, balance, reflexes, memory, autonomic function, or coordination can influence health long before symptoms become chronic. When we detect these shifts early, we can help restore harmony within the nervous system and strengthen resilience for years to come.

La Jolla is a community filled with people who value longevity, athletic performance, emotional well-being, and cognitive vitality. Students, busy professionals, dedicated parents, surfers, athletes, and older adults come with unique goals—but they all share a desire to understand their health more deeply. Advanced brain testing offers that understanding in a way that feels empowering and actionable.

Who Benefits From Comprehensive Brain Testing

People come to Brain Health D.C. for many different reasons, but they all share a desire for clarity and compassionate answers. Comprehensive brain testing can support:

• Individuals with dizziness, vertigo, or balance disorders
  These sensations often stem from visual-vestibular mismatches or brainstem imbalances. Early detection guides targeted rehabilitation.
• Athletes recovering from concussion or optimizing performance
  Subtle neurological changes after head injuries can linger for years. Testing helps athletes regain speed, precision, and confidence.
• Children with developmental, learning, or behavioral challenges Identifying sensory or neurological imbalances early helps support healthy development, focus, emotional regulation, and academic performance.
• Adults experiencing brain fog, fatigue, migraines, or cognitive changes
  These symptoms often reflect deeper imbalances in the sensory, autonomic, or metabolic systems.
• Patients with POTS, dysautonomia, autoimmune conditions, or chronic inflammation
  Brain testing reveals how the autonomic nervous system and immune pathways influence energy, heart rate, digestion, and stress tolerance.
• Individuals recovering from TBI, stroke, whiplash, or long-standing neurological conditions
  Understanding the unique way each brain heals helps us design rehabilitation that is supportive, gentle, and personalized.

Whether you are seeking answers for ongoing symptoms or simply striving for better performance and vitality, comprehensive brain testing gives us the road map to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Core Categories of Brain Testing Offered

At Brain Health D.C., comprehensive brain testing is designed to illuminate how your nervous system functions across multiple domains. Each category of evaluation provides insight into how your brain processes information, maintains balance, supports movement, regulates emotion, and integrates sensory input. This whole-person understanding allows us to design care that feels deeply personalized and truly supportive.

Sensory and Motor Function Testing

Your senses and movement systems form the foundation of how your brain interprets and responds to the world. When any of these systems become imbalanced, symptoms such as dizziness, instability, clumsiness, headaches, or fatigue can develop. Our sensory and motor testing includes:

• Vestibular Testing
  Evaluates head motion responses, motion sensitivity, and postural orientation. This is essential for dizziness, vertigo, concussion recovery, and balance disorders.
• Visual Testing
  Includes saccades (quick eye movements), smooth pursuit, fixation stability, vergence (eye teaming), and depth perception. These skills strongly influence reading, focus, sports performance, and overall cognitive function.
• Proprioceptive Testing
  Measures joint position accuracy, limb awareness, and motor coordination. This helps us understand how well your body communicates its position to your brain, guiding safe and efficient movement.
• Sensorimotor Integration
  Assesses how the brain blends inputs from vision, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems to create fluid, coordinated motion. When this system is disrupted, movement may feel “off,” unsteady, or unpredictable.

Cognitive and Executive Function Testing

Cognition reflects the brain’s ability to process information, stay focused, problem-solve, and remember details. These skills impact everything from academic performance to emotional resilience and athletic decision-making.

• Memory
• Processing speed
• Attention and concentration
• Mental endurance
• Sequencing and planning
• Reaction time

We offer age-appropriate cognitive testing for children, adults, and older adults—each tailored to the unique needs of the individual.

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) Evaluation

Your autonomic nervous system governs heart rate, digestion, stress response, and energy regulation. When the ANS is imbalanced, symptoms may include dizziness, rapid heart rate, anxiety, fatigue, or temperature intolerance.

ANS testing includes:

• Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
  Provides insight into stress resilience and nervous system adaptability.
• Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic Balance
  Reveals whether your system leans toward fight-or-flight survival mode or restorative resting states.
• Stress Resilience Testing
  Measures how your nervous system responds to internal and external stressors.

This is especially valuable for patients with POTS, dysautonomia, chronic stress, autoimmune conditions, and anxiety.

Postural and Balance Assessments

Balance involves multiple systems working together to create stability. Our assessments measure:

• Static and Dynamic Stability How your body maintains posture during stillness and movement.
• Sway Patterns and Weight Distribution
  Identifies asymmetries that may cause pain, poor performance, or fall risk.
• Fall-Risk Mapping
  Particularly important for older adults or individuals with neurological conditions.
• Athletic Balance Performance
  Helps athletes refine agility, strength, coordination, and injury resilience.

Neuro-Musculoskeletal Testing

Because movement reflects the function of your brain, musculoskeletal evaluations help reveal neurological imbalances.

• Muscle activation patterns
• Gait analysis
• Motor sequencing and timing
• Primitive reflex evaluation (especially important for pediatric or neurodevelopmental cases)

These findings guide corrective therapies that support smoother, safer, and more efficient movement.

Biochemical and Functional Medicine Testing

Your brain is influenced by your internal environment. Functional medicine testing allows us to understand the biochemical factors impacting neurological health.

• Inflammation markers
• Thyroid and hormonal panels
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Gut-brain axis markers (gut health, infections, toxins, food sensitivities)
• Environmental toxin screening (mold, chemicals, heavy metals)

This integrative lens ensures we address the physiological factors that may be affecting cognition, mood, and nervous system resilience.
