Take control of your recovery. Schedule an appointment today and accelerate your healing process.
Your Initial Visit With One of Our Specialists Includes
- Memory and concentration
- Vision
- Balance and coordination
- Reflexes
- Head-and-neck range of motion
Based on these findings, we will craft a personalized plan for return to work, while also providing education on dos and don’ts following injury. Your constellation of symptoms will drive a personalized home exercise program, expediting your recovery and minimizing long-term effects.
In rare cases, we may order an imaging scan such as MRI or CT to examine the brain for possible bleeding or swelling in the skull.
How Many Visits Should I Expect?
Follow up visits will consist of examining progress since your initial visit, testing cognitive functioning, and making tweaks to your individualized treatment plan.
While industry standard is 4-5 visits, we average 2.5. Our efficiency continues to improve, as our total number of new visits increases and average number of total visits decreases each year. This occurs because of our specialized focus on concussions, combined with a strong commitment to research.
The length of time between the initial injury and medical clearance will depend on how quickly you are seen if there are co-occurring injuries and existing psychological stressors.
