How our brain processes light and sound

There are many brain structures involved in processing of light and sound. We can talk about our cochlear nerve, our optic nerve, our temporal lobe, our parietal lobe, our frontal lobe, our occipital lobe, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. This leaves many room for error when it comes to light and sound processing.

Symptoms of light and sound sensitivity

Increased muscle tone, easily startled, irritable, emotional outbursts, headaches or migraines, wearing sunglasses indoors, seemingly unrelated physiological changes.

Light and sound neurological rehabilitation

Light and sound integration in terms of neurological rehabilitation can have far reaching effects. We constantly react to changes in sound and light in our environment and if we are not filtering out enough of light and sound energy, we will become increasingly sensitive. Our goal at South Carolina Chiropractic Neurology is to identify what may be causing the increased sensitivity and provide specific neurological rehabilitation plans to promote neuroplastic changes.
