Have You Suffered a Concussion?
A concussion is a serious brain injury that can cause:
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Memory loss
- Difficulty focusing
- Poor coordination
If you’ve experienced these symptoms, getting the right treatment is essential for recovery. Functional neurology offers natural, non-invasive therapies that help your brain heal without relying on medications that only mask symptoms.
How Can a Functional Neurologist Help?
Brain-Based Therapy for Healing
Traditional medicine often treats concussions with prescription drugs that temporarily reduce symptoms. However, these medications don’t address the root cause of brain dysfunction.
A functional neurologist uses targeted therapies to reignite damaged neural pathways and restore normal brain function. By working with the nervous system, functional neurology promotes recovery without drugs or surgery.
Comprehensive Testing and Evaluation
Before starting treatment, a functional neurologist will conduct an in-depth evaluation to pinpoint the specific areas of your brain affected by the concussion.
This testing may take longer than expected, but accurate diagnosis is key to developing a personalized therapy plan for the best possible recovery.
Personalized Therapy Plan for Concussion Recovery
Once your evaluation is complete, your neurologist will create a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs. They will explain your results and guide you through each step of your recovery process.
Natural Treatments for Concussions
Depending on your test results, your treatment plan may include:
1. Cognitive and Physical Rest
Rest is crucial after a concussion. Your neurologist will outline how to properly rest both your body and brain, limiting physical activity and mental exertion like reading or working.
2. Brain-Boosting Nutrition
Your brain needs the right nutrients to heal. Scientific research confirms that certain foods support brain recovery. Your functional neurologist will recommend a brain-healthy diet to optimize healing.
3. Gentle, Supervised Brain Activation
While rest is essential, research suggests that controlled brain stimulation can speed up recovery. Your therapy will include guided, low-intensity cognitive exercises to help restore function.
4. Home Exercises for Brain Synchronization
After in-office therapy, you may receive home exercises designed to gently reactivate injured areas of your brain. These simple activities help re-stimulate neural pathways for a faster recovery.
