This is likely good news to you, and your treatment at One Neuro will begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your injury that includes an interview with parents or the individual that will help determine a timeline for recovery. Be ready to discuss any concerns you have at this meeting.

Next, the team at the One Neuro Concussion Clinic will test quantitative and qualitative properties. Selected measures will be discussed based on impressions made as well as strengths and weaknesses the patient exhibits. This usually takes a few sessions that may last up to a few hours, but you’ll feel comfortable in the atmosphere provided and know that a great group of professionals is about to do everything they can to help you.

Once this step is completed you’ll meet with your assigned professionals to review the results in detail and discuss possible treatments. You’ll also get referrals as needed, basically whatever is necessary to reduce your pain and help you perform your sport as well as before. Family members and other treatment professionals are welcome to join in the session in an attempt to come up with the best plan possible.

The Director of Neuropsychology Services, Alexandra Rudd-Barnard says they have seen much success from this three step approach to concussion treatments. “We’re up to date on the latest studies involving concussions to better provide advice and treatments for our patients,” she says.

Headaches, loss of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, ears ringing and fatigue are just some signs of a possible concussion. If you or someone you know and love is suffering these symptoms or others after a head injury they should get to a clinic or neurologist immediately to undergo evaluation. Even the smallest of brain bruises can affect a person in a negative way.

Always wear safety gear and when injured, take the time prescribed to heal but if you continue to suffer it pays to see specialists.
