Rest for 24-48 hours is typically recommended after a concussion followed by a gradual return to activity monitored by a trained healthcare provider. This is best done through a functional rehabilitation program which involves evaluation of your symptoms and individualized treatment which may include vision therapy, vestibular therapy, graded activity/exercise, and cognitive therapy. No two concussion are exactly alike. Treatment should be individualized to your specific symptoms.

In most cases, symptoms resolve within 4 weeks after a concussion. However, in approximately 30% of cases, symptoms may last longer than 4 weeks which is referred to as Post-Concussion Syndrome. One of the best indicators for a positive outcome and a quick recovery is how soon functional treatment by a qualified provider is initiated after the injury.

Including movement of the eyes in various directions in connection with outside stimulus to screen visual stability during head movement.

head mounted goggles with eye tracking and digital display system

An objective measuring tool for assessing oculomotor and vestibular function with an extensive test battery for comparing baseline to post injury measurements or a more concise battery comparing measurement to normative data following an accident.

A digitally sensitive standing force plate and integrated software to assess and record the components of balance including vision-biased, proprioception-biased and vestibular-biased measures.

A simple endurance test using a treadmill to establish an exertion threshold for cardio-based exercise to safely improve cerebral blood flow.

Combined with cervicogenic and other orthopedic measurements taken in the clinic we can develop a personalized treatment plan for every individual.
