When In Doubt, Have Your Head Injury Checked Out!
Have you ever slipped on ice, taken a tough hit during a game, or felt your head jolt in a car accident? If you’ve walked away feeling dizzy, foggy, or off-balance, you may have experienced a concussion—one of the most common and often overlooked brain injuries.
“…in 2 weeks I saw an 80% plus reduction in the chronic, debilitating pain“
“I spent years and years with terrible neck and jaw pain. I saw so many dentists and doctors and chiropractors, and all of them came to the same conclusion: you’re just a little bit broken, sorry. I found Moore MyoWorx in a moment of desperation, and I am beyond grateful I reached out for a consultation, because in 2 weeks I saw an 80% plus reduction in the chronic, debilitating pain I’d been living with for literal years. This place taught me how to very specifically ease my own discomfort and pain, and how to keep it at bay for longer and longer periods. The whole office is kind and knowledgeable and they really, really want you to feel better. I can’t recommend them enough.”

What Is a Concussion?
A concussion is a form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. This movement can damage brain cells and disrupt normal brain function—often without showing symptoms right away.
At Moore MyoWorx, we understand that no two concussions are alike. That’s why we take a comprehensive approach to concussion therapy. Our team uses a proven treatment method that combines soft tissue therapy, neuromuscular re-education, and brain function support to help restore normal nervous system function and get you back to doing what you love.
Know the Signs
Recognizing a concussion isn’t always easy. Symptoms may show up immediately or be delayed by hours or even days. Some of the most common signs include:
- Headache or pressure in the head
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dizziness or balance issues
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Feeling sluggish, groggy, or foggy
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Mood changes like irritability or sadness
If you experience any of these symptoms after a head injury, don’t wait—schedule an evaluation with us right away.

Threading the Needle
Chile Colorado
This is a traditional Mexican-style dish.
Ingredients:
- 9 New Mexico dry chiles – washed, with stems and seeds removed
- 3 cups water
- 5 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cups beef stock, or as needed
Directions:
- Prepare the Chiles
Add chiles and 3 cups of water to a medium stockpot. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes to soften. - Make the Chile Sauce
Strain the chiles, reserving the cooking liquid. Transfer chiles to a blender with some of the reserved liquid and purée until smooth, adding more liquid as needed for a smooth consistency. Pass the sauce through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds and skins; set aside. - Prep the Beef
Cut beef into 1- to 2-inch chunks. In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the beef in the seasoned flour; set aside. - Sauté Onions and Brown the Beef
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beef chunks in batches to avoid overcrowding, browning each piece evenly. Set browned pieces aside, then return all seared beef to the pot. - Simmer the Stew
Stir in the puréed chile sauce. Add beef stock until the beef is just covered (or to taste). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to the lowest setting and simmer for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender. Add more stock if needed during cooking.
