CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT AND REHABILITATION
Concussion Rehabilitation in Markham
Concussion rehabilitation at our Markham chiropractic clinic is a comprehensive process aimed at helping individuals recover from the effects of a concussion. Concussions are a type of traumatic brain injury that can result in a range of symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, memory problems, light sensitivity, eye strain and difficulty concentrating.
Our concussion rehabilitation services from a functional neurological perspective focus on helping individuals recover from the physical impairments that result from a concussion. Dr Bennett will use a variety of techniques and exercises to help the individual regain their strength, balance, coordination, and function.
Concussion Management and Rehabilitation Treatment
The first step in our concussion management process involves a comprehensive evaluation of the individual’s physical function, including their balance, coordination, strength, and range of motion.
Based on the evaluation at our Markham concussion rehabilitation clinic, a customized concussion treatment plan that may include a combination of the following:
Aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise, such as walking or cycling, can help improve blood flow to the brain and promote healing. Dr. Bennett will provide a gradual exercise program customized to the individual’s needs and symptoms.
Balance and coordination training
Concussions can affect an individual’s balance and coordination. Specific exercise protocols such as standing on one foot, walking on a balance platform, or using a wobble board will be implemented.
Vision and vestibular training
Concussions can also affect an individual’s vision and vestibular function. Dr Bennett will use exercises to improve eye tracking, visual processing, and vestibular function.
Manual therapy
Manual therapy techniques, such as soft tissue therapy and joint mobilization may be used at our Markham chiropractic clinic. These techniques reduce pain and improve range of motion in the neck and other affected areas. Strengthening of the neck musculature is also an important aspect in concussion recovery.
Return-to-play or work guidance
Dr. Bennett will work with the individual to develop a customized concussion management plan for safely returning to physical activity, sports, and work.
