Ocular Motor Nerve Dysfunction Exercises 

I'll show you four simple ocular motor nerve dysfunction exercises that you can do at home. Ocular motor nerve dysfunction exercises can help you retrain the ocular motor nerve if you have poor ocular motor nerve function after a car accident or head trauma. Headaches are one of the most common consequences of ocular motor problems and many people will see a reduction in headaches with some ocular motor rehab. The ocular motor rehab in this video covers the following exercises: lateral movement training, smooth pursuit training, gaze stability training, and trunk rotation training.
Car accidents, concussions, and other trauma to the head and neck can alter the neurological relationship between your vision and head and neck movement. Many times this manifests as an ocular motor headache. Sometimes it can be difficult to relate the headache to the trauma and you may not be aware that you have ocular motor dysfunction. I'll show FOUR exercises that you can do on your own to help retrain eye movement and head movement relating to the ocular motor nerve.
If you're not sure if you have oculomotor dysfunction AKA ocular motor dysfunction, then watch the video on our ‪@JasonWilliamsDC-Chiro-Rehab‬ channel, or follow the link at the end of the video. I've seen a number of cases where patients didn't respond to PT or "usual" chiropractic care, but when given these exercises and after performing them consistently their headaches improve and sometimes resolve.
