We use SWAY testing which is a mini neurocognitive test that can be performed using your iPhone or an iPad to evaluate the cognitive function. If a baseline is available, it can be used as a tool to determine if your cognitive function is back to its baseline when helping to clear athletes from their concussions. Baseline concussion testing can be done in our office as well.
Education is key in managing concussions. We spend a lot of time in managing and educating on concussion symptoms and how a patient can manage getting through their day as best as possible without heightening their symptoms, thereby allowing the brain to recover quicker. Other modalities such as vestibular, ocular and speech therapies, are used depending on the symptoms and the patient. We individualize the care that is needed. Not everyone needs therapy.
Our life is our sport. Not everyone plays football or soccer but we manage how we clear people to get back to what they do. There is a protocol to make this happen and we can help get you there.
