Concussion Therapy in Edmonton

Concussions can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life, affecting cognitive function, physical well-being, and emotional health. At our clinic in Edmonton, we offer comprehensive concussion therapy aimed at providing effective treatment and rehabilitation for individuals who have experienced a concussion. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is committed to helping patients recover safely and fully, allowing them to return to their normal activities with confidence and peace of mind.

Understanding Concussions:

Concussions are mild traumatic brain injuries that occur as a result of a blow to the head or sudden jolt to the body. While concussions are often associated with sports-related injuries, they can also occur as a result of motor vehicle accidents, falls, or other types of trauma. Common symptoms of concussions include headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, memory problems, and changes in mood or behavior. It’s important to seek medical attention if you suspect you or someone you know has experienced a concussion, as early intervention can improve outcomes and prevent long-term complications.

Our Approach to Concussion Therapy:

At our clinic, we take a multidisciplinary approach to concussion therapy, drawing on the expertise of healthcare professionals from various disciplines to provide comprehensive care. Our team includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, neuropsychologists, and other specialists who work together to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals.

Assessment and Diagnosis:

The first step in our concussion therapy program is a thorough assessment and diagnosis to evaluate the extent of the injury and identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to symptoms. This may include a physical examination, cognitive testing, balance and vestibular assessments, and other specialized tests as needed. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s condition, we can develop an individualized treatment plan that targets specific areas of concern.

Treatment and Rehabilitation:

Once a diagnosis has been made, our team will work with the patient to develop a customized treatment and rehabilitation plan. Depending on the severity of the concussion and the patient’s symptoms, this may include a combination of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and other interventions aimed at improving physical function, cognitive abilities, and emotional well-being. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques and modalities to promote healing and recovery, helping patients gradually return to their normal activities while minimizing the risk of re-injury.

Education and Support:

In addition to providing treatment and rehabilitation services, we also place a strong emphasis on patient education and support. We believe that empowering patients with knowledge about their condition and how to manage symptoms is essential for successful recovery. Our team takes the time to educate patients and their families about concussion prevention strategies, symptom management techniques, and strategies for gradually returning to work, school, and recreational activities.

Monitoring and Follow-Up:

Throughout the course of treatment, we closely monitor patients’ progress and adjust their treatment plans as needed to ensure optimal outcomes. We also provide ongoing support and encouragement to help patients stay motivated and engaged in their recovery journey. Following completion of the concussion therapy program, we offer follow-up appointments to assess progress, address any lingering symptoms, and provide additional support as needed.
