The problem with traditional approaches

Many doctors recommend concussion treatment that is focused on rest and reducing light exposure. While these recommendations can be helpful, they lack the intensity and frequency that are often required to heal post-concussion syndrome. Watch the video as Nate explains a comprehensive approach to healing lingering brain injury symptoms.

Immediately below the three-step section, add one collapsed expandable section labeled How We
Measure Your Progress. This keeps the page simple while allowing interested patients to see the clinical
details.


Your first- and final-day evaluations assess balance and postural control, visual and vestibular function,
eye coordination, exercise tolerance, and everyday function. We use the same clinical measures at the
beginning and end of treatment so our team can document changes, identify areas that still need
support, and personalize your included aftercare.

 

  • Balance Error Scoring System (BESS)
  • Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS)
  • Brock String vergence testing
  • Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test
  • Functional task and activity analysis

Transforming Concussion Treatment

Traditional neuro and concussion therapy & treatment has been dictated by insurances and their one-hour-a-week allowances. The brain is a powerful and complex organ that has the ability to compensate for inactive or injured areas of the brain.

Post-Concussion Syndrome is often treated by isolating symptoms and doing one hour of therapy at a time. This allows the brain to strengthen its compensation—when one part of the brain works on overload to compensate for the other part that is not working as it should—and misses the opportunity to reengage and recover the brain from its trauma-inhibited state.

At NCX Brain Recovery, we focus on Multi-Sensory Integration Therapy which challenges the brain from all directions for 30+ hours of treatment in one intensive week approach.

This approach increases Neurovascular Coupling (blood flow within the brain) while encouraging the development of new neuro-pathways and re-engagement of healthy pathways to rebalance the brain.
