Concussion Support Care

The modern approach to concussion involves comprehensive evaluation of several key systems in the brain and body. Once acute pathology such as a brain bleed has been ruled out, a functional minded clinician should be consulted to address neurological deficits and associated symptoms.

The right clinical tests can be the key to better results.

Delay in obtaining proper diagnosis and treatment following a brain injury and concussion can cause significant consequence to your life. From persistent headaches, dizziness and visual tracking issues to changes in one's mood, behavior and cognition—these symptoms can limit one's existence—seclusion and isolation at home or avoidance of activities due to frequent setbacks and aggravations that occur during daily routines.

Being able to differentiate sources of individual symptoms, and thus, identify which pathways in the brain have been injured through clinical testing is an essential step toward brain rehabilitation care that can selectively target, strengthen and restore your health.
