America's favorite drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway. The largest private home in the United States, the Biltmore Estate. The longest hiking only trail in the world, the Appalachian Trail, and the world class Grove Park Inn a retreat favorite enjoyed by 10 U.S. Presidents.

Lots of different people benefit from SMART training including professional athletes from the NHL, NFL, US Olympic Team. Some have had Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS) and some are just looking to maximize their fullest potential.

GyroStim - Research Facts & Fallacies
There has been a rise in misinformation and controversy surrounding the use of GyroStim as an effetive treatment tool for vestibular disorders. Dr. Fox has written an article that points out the facts vs fallacies being discussed in using GyroStim for the treatment of vestibular disorders. The article is titled The Ebb & Flow of GyroStim AMARC with VTS by Kim Fox, DPT 5/28/2018.
Additional research was performed over the past several years and concluded for presentation and publication in 2022 showing the positive benefits of GyroStim and SMART.
In 2021 the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared GyroStim for the treatment of balance disorders, vestibular dysfunction, and associated symptoms that may result from injury, illness, and neurological or aging-related conditions.
Officially designated by the FDA as a Breakthrough Medical Device, GyroStim presents patients, clinicians, and insurance providers with a long-overdue paradigm shift of improved treatment capabilities, faster recovery, reduced costs, and better outcomes.

The Truth About GyroStim
GyroStim is an amazing piece of equipment, but has struggled to overcome many challenges from the past including; previous research that was done in a very unsettling manner prior to 2018, previous lack of FDA approval (which was finally approved in 2021), and at least one well known physician that stated "Unless you have money to burn, and don't mind vomiting that much, we think best to avoid this device." Why would we point this out? Because the sad reality is, not all researchers are ethical, the government is not generally considered highly efficient or effective, and not all doctors are open minded. The number of patients who have vomited at AVORA remains zero! The average cost for a SMART training session at AVORA is $100. Our success rate is very good!
Our goal is to provide you honest, open, options to consider. If you have been suffering and are on this page, you probably decided it was time to become your own best advocate. It's likely that you are taking matters into your own hands now because you have been to multiple medical providers who either did not take the time to correctly diagnose you, misdiagnosed you, or informed you that your condition was non-treatable. These are the statements we hear everyday and the reason why we work with our patients one at a time, one-on-one with evaluations scheduled for 80 minutes, not 8. At AVORA, we are patients too and believe you deserve better care. This is why we partner with additional services including Otolaryngology, Audiology, Psychology, & Acupuncture.
We encourage all patients to do their homework. You shop for cars, houses, and the best restaurants. You should do the same when shopping for a healthcare provider. Take the time to ask questions and find the best providers you can!

Jackson Gannon Speaks - WBTV Charlotte, NC "On Your Side" with Jamie Boll
For the first time in nearly two years, Jackson Gannon speaks. Follow this link for an amazing update on his story which aired on March 19, 2019. https://www.wbrc.com/video/2019/03/20/jackson-gannon-speaks-first-time-nearly-years/
Note: The news report indicated that "(Dr. Fox) believed it could help Jackson learn to speak again." This was only a portion of Dr. Fox's statement during the interview regarding speech. It is important to know that while we have seen evidence of speech improvement with Jackson as well as other patients, we do not claim in any capacity to treat speech related issues.
Dr. Fox's official stance on GyroStim and speech improvement is "We have seen patient speech improvements through the use of GyroStim, but do not specifically treat speech and do not claim to be Speech Therapists. The results are anecdotal to the underlying conditions (such as concussions) that we treat as vestibular rehabilitation experts."
