Concussion Clinic Treatment Program
We work with our patients who have persistent post-concussive symptoms to find the root cause of their symptoms and help them get back to living active lives!
Our Concussion Program is catered to the individual, not the diagnosis. We combine all of our diagnostic and treatment modalities with our extensive knowledge and success working with concussion and mTBI patients.
Going through our program will afford you the most up-to-date care and ensure that you are working with one of our doctors who specializes in brain injury treatment.

What is a Concussion?
You do not have to hit your head to sustain a concussion. A concussion results from movement of the brain inside the skull. The brain is not fixated in the skull but floating in cerebrospinal fluid. When a concussion is sustained the brain is shaken inside the skull, there can be impact between the brain and the skull itself, as well as twisting of the neck and brainstem. Both of these scenarios can cause a concussion, as well as a traumatic brain injury. When left untreated, a person is at a greater risk for developing post concussion syndrome, which can cause debilitating symptoms.
If you or a loved one suspect a concussion, it is necessary to seek a physician’s opinion for an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan. Do not try to navigate this condition on your own. An immediate evaluation can aid in reducing symptoms, reducing recovery time, preventing post concussion syndrome and creating an appropriate return to play or work protocol.
Concussion symptoms fall into four major categories:
-
Somatic: headache, nausea, vomiting, balance problems, visual disturbances, dizziness, sensitivity to light, sound or smell
-
Emotional: depression, changes in personality, nervousness, anxiety, irritability
-
Sleep Disturbance: changes in sleep patterns, sleeping more or less than usual, trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, insomnia
-
Cognitive: difficulty concentrating, making decisions, carry out to-do lists, slowness in processing and speech, brain fog
Concussion Testing and Treatment
Our doctors are highly trained in the diagnosis and treatment of mild traumatic brain injuries (concussions) and persistent post-concussive symptoms. We will take a close look at all areas of brain function in order to pinpoint the areas of dysfunction that are specific to your brain. In order to obtain the most accurate information about your brain function we use neurodiagnostics to measure balance, coordination, eye movements, timing and rhythm, cognitive function, and more.
Treatment for concussions is designed on an individualized basis. No two brains and concussions are the same, therefore no two treatment plans are the same. Our doctors work one-on-one with each patient to provide thorough treatment and continual monitoring of symptoms from visit to visit. Common treatment modalities include neuromodulation, eye movement therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, red and near infrared light therapy, neurosensory and motor integration tools, cognitive therapies, interactive metronome therapy, and more.
