What these guides cover, and why they exist.
Gates Brain Health works with many chronic neurological and autoimmune concerns: balance and dizziness problems, lingering symptoms after a concussion, memory changes, thyroid autoimmunity, movement disorders, and more. The guides below grew out of the questions patients ask most often.
Each guide follows the same shape. It explains what the condition means, describes the patterns people commonly report, walks through how clinicians evaluate it, and points out when symptoms call for emergency care instead of an office visit.
These pages educate. They do not diagnose.
Reading about a condition can help you put words to what you are experiencing and prepare better questions, but no page can tell you what is causing your symptoms. Many of the conditions described here share symptoms with one another, and with unrelated problems, which is exactly why evaluation by a clinician matters.
The same goes for the list itself. Finding a condition here does not mean it is what you have, and it is not a promise about what care can do for any particular diagnosis. It means the topic comes up often enough in this practice to deserve a careful explanation.
When you're ready, call and describe your situation.
If a guide sounds like what you have been living with, or your concern is not covered here at all, the next step is the same: call (775) 507-2000, Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Dr. Randall Gates, D.C., DACNB, considers each situation individually, and a free consultation is the usual first step before any examination is scheduled.
If you want to know what evaluation and ongoing care actually involve, the services page and the treatment walkthrough cover both, so you do not have to piece it together from condition pages.
