Most concussions improve within weeks; however, some individuals experience persistent symptoms such as:

  • Headaches

  • Brain fog

  • Light and sound sensitivity

  • Dizziness

  • Neck pain

  • Fatigue

  • Exercise intolerance

  • Mood changes

Persistent symptoms often involve a combination of cervical spine dysfunction, autonomic nervous system imbalance, vestibular disturbance, and central sensitization.

Concussion Care May Include

Nutraceutical Support

  • Recommendations are individualized based on patient history and tolerance.

  • Graded return-to-exercise planning

  • Nervous system regulation strategies

  • Sleep optimization

  • Nutrition to support brain recovery

  • Markers of Brain inflammation and Injury – LifeLabs

  • Hormone testing – LifeLabs, DUTCH Analytical

Comprehensive Assessment

Specialized Lab Testing

  • Symptom Pattern Evaluation

  • Cervical Spine Screening

  • Autonomic Function Considerations

  • Review of Sleep and Metabolic Contributors

Active Rehabilitation Support

Ultrasound-Guided
Injection Therapies

When clinically indicated:

  • Cervical trigger point injections

  • Greater occipital nerve blocks

  • Perineural injection therapy

  • Injection therapies for treatment of cervical instability and injuries

Injection therapies are used selectively when structural or nerve irritation is contributing to persistent headache or neck-related symptoms.
