See Information on:

Headache

Over many years, RNI developed an exceptional center for the treatment of stubborn migraines that don't respond to the usual "drug merry-go-round".  Here are some of the principles that were developed at RNI.
  • Sleep and neck problems are major headache triggers.
  • Original research into the migraine mechanism helps us avoid the overuse of drugs.
  • We use the new CGRP drugs when appropriate, but we don't reach-for-the-script-pad to get you out of the office
  • We discovered that the Hypermobility syndromes are a major cause of headache, and a major unrecognized risk factor for migraine

Sleep Disorders

If you have problems going to sleep or staying asleep, or have unwanted behaviors while you sleep, you need to look for a Board Certified Sleep Physician.  .
  • We evaluate Home and In-Lab Sleep Studies
  • We specialize in the sleep disorders of Hypermobility Patients
  • Sleep health is critical for heart health

Multiple Sclerosis

Despite 17 FDA approved drugs for MS disease treatment, a cure for MS has not been found.  To date, little headway has been made in therapies to promote nerve cell regeneration and re-myelination, two steps critical for recovery from the damage MS does to the nervous system.  The role of the gut and its microbiome in the immune system is just now being investigated, as is the role of hypermobility syndromes on dys-immune states. Over the years we at the RNI have developed innovative therapies for MS still in use today.  Discoveries in our laboratory have been applied to other diseases, including those affecting the kidney.  These discoveries are currently being tested in clinical trials outside of our institute. Why participate in MS treatment trials?  Because your participation will help not only you, but will help others with MS.

Neurology Approach to Back and Neck Pain

A full neurological evaluation should be employed, BEFORE considering surgery:
  • EMG and Nerve Conduction testing should be done
  • MRI testing should be tailored to individual patients' needs
  • Thorough  neurological exam should be performed.
  • Acute Back & Neck Pain – A conservative approach

Alzheimer Disease, Memory Loss, and Dementia

Memory loss and problems with concentration can be caused by many factors and diseases including:
  • Sleep disorders and medication effects
  • Stroke and vascular disease
  • Alzheimer Disease
  • Fronto-temproal Lobar Degeneration
  • Lewy Body Dementia
  • Metabolic deficiencies
  • Polypharmacy
  • Seizures

Hypermobility Syndromes--The Possible Link Between Headache, Fatigue, Dizziness, GI Complaints

Headaches, sleep disorders causing fatigue, dizziness with "POTS" and blood pressure regulation, and gastrointestinal complaints can all be linked.  In its severest form, these are present in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility Type.  Hashimoto's thyroiditis and other autoimmune disorders can also be present.  Let us tell you how all these can be connected.
