Your hearing can give you the best clues that something around you isn’t right. But did you know that your lack of hearing can also give you signs? This was the case for one of our patients, Sandra. She sought out answers from her primary care physician, who referred her to Charlotte Eye Ear Nose & Throat Associates PA. After further investigation by the team at CEENTA, she was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma, a benign tumor that needed surgical removal. CEENTA neurotologist Brendan O’Connell, MD, and CNSA neurosurgeon, Dr. Scott Wait collaborated together and completed the intervention necessary to get Sandra back to living life to the fullest. Teamwork makes the dream work!

According to Jake Beamon, a Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) at Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates, don’t believe the saying “no pain, no gain.” “The main thing I think is just a lack of understanding of what core strengthening is, how the core is involved in training in general, and in human movement, and within sports in itself,” Beamon said. “A little bit of soreness, muscular discomfort maybe, but there should be no pain with your training.”
