Our Concussion Clinic
Initial Evaluation
Concussions affect several cellular and molecular processes throughout the brain- even beyond the area of impact. It is imperative to evaluate how your injury has affected your brain and body as a whole.
Before beginning treatment, we begin with a battery of objective testing which allows us to determine the severity of the concussion and tailor an individualized recovery program for you. This testing evaluates several different brain functions including the following:
- Cognitive Fatigue
- Visual disturbances
- Gait changes
- Balance challenges
- Emotional dysregulation
- Autonomic Instability
- Physical Pain or Numbness
Treatments and Therapies
Specialized and experienced practitioners at our clinic will guide you through the treatment process. Experienced and knowledgeable guidance through this process is important as unguided use of passive or active activity could lead to worse recovery outcomes and potential for chronic symptoms.
Our multidisciplinary treatment allows for us to cover a broad variety of symptoms and give you a high-quality, fast recovery experience. Our treatment includes modalities such as: Occupational Therapy, Vision Therapy, Cognitive Therapy and Physical Therapy.
- Cognitive Fatigue
- Visual disturbances
- Gait changes
- Balance challenges
- Emotional dysregulation
- Autonomic Instability
- Physical Pain or Numbness
Dementia Testing
A neuropsychological evaluation is often an important step in the process of diagnosing dementia. Our caring and compassionate professionals will provide an initial clinical consultation to better understand your symptoms and then walk you through the testing portion.
In total your evaluation will be scheduled for a 2-hour appointment. We will also provide you and your doctor with an extensive report of our findings from the neuropsychological evaluation.
