Tailored Support for a Better Recovery

We understand that concussions affect all parts of your life, and every concussion is different. It’s important to take all potential concussions seriously as they involve mild traumatic brain injury that can impact brain function. If symptoms persist beyond seven to ten days, a targeted treatment and rehabilitation program should begin immediately.

Recognizing the Symptoms

Anybody who has sustained a hit to the head should be assessed for concussion, because some symptoms may seem invisible initially but persist long after obvious signs disappear. Common symptoms include the following:

Headaches
Nausea
Ringing in the ears
Blurry vision

Brain fog
Difficulty concentrating
Memory issues
Dizziness

Balance problems
Coordination difficulties
Mood changes
Fatigue

You might also experience light sensitivity, noise sensitivity, feeling overstimulated, trouble sleeping, or lacking exercise tolerance. Feeling irritable, sad, depressed, or anxious after head trauma is not normal if you weren’t experiencing them before your injury.

Our Assessment and Treatment Approach

Dr. Jess typically splits the concussion assessment into three visits to avoid overwhelming patients while gathering necessary information.

She evaluates effects on vision, physical symptoms such as neck and head pain, balance and coordination issues, reaction time, mental status, and cognition.

Your plan may include rehabilitation exercises for visual problems, balancing and coordination work, and neck muscle rehabilitation since every concussion includes a whiplash component. We provide customized exercise programs based on assessments performed in our clinic, sometimes incorporating acupuncture, and offer standardized return-to-school, work, or sport protocols when appropriate.
