If you have children in sports, you are likely aware of the risk of concussion.  This injury seems to be increasing every year.  With our training as chiropractic neurologists, we have had the privilege of working with many local families to help their children recover from a head injury.
With specialized diagnostic testing we work with the patient to determine the part of the brain that sustained the injury.  Then, we use patient-specific treatment patterns to leverage the brain's inherent ability to repair itself by providing targeted inputs (neurological exercises) to the specific sense that will stimulate new neural connections in the identified areas of the brain.
Along with this approach comes modification to lifestyle as needed so the brain can repair.  One of the most important modifications is appropriate accommodations in school.  Click Here to read an article from the Star Tribune addressing the return to school issue.  It's a great article, however, neglects to mention chiropractic neurology as a viable option for safe recovery from a concussive injury.
