Successful Concussion Care

Research indicates that MOST people who suffer a concussion will not FULLY recover in 6 months. The same is true for whiplash as well. Doctors will understand the mechanisms, clinical assessments and treatment strategies they use to promote successful concussion/whiplash recovery, even when the patient is suffering months or years later. Dr. Powell will share prescriptions for exercise, sleep, diet, supplementation and how to tailor your adjustments to better serve these complex patients.

• •Understand the neuromechanical mechanisms underlying concussion and whiplash injuries and their long-term effects on recovery timelines
• •Perform comprehensive clinical assessments to identify patients at risk for prolonged recovery from concussion and whiplash
• •Apply evidence-based treatment strategies and adjustment techniques tailored to concussion and whiplash patients, including those with chronic symptoms
• •Develop personalized exercise prescription protocols that support neurological recovery without exacerbating symptoms
• •Integrate sleep optimization, dietary modifications, and targeted supplementation strategies into concussion care plans
• •Distinguish between acute and chronic post-concussive/post-whiplash presentations and adjust clinical management accordingly
