Concussion Treatment
Advances in Brain Rehabilitation
The right diagnostic tests can be the key to better results.
Delay in obtaining proper diagnosis and treatment following a brain injury, concussion, or neurological disorder can inflict profound consequence to your life. From persistent headaches, dizziness and visual tracking issues to changes in one's mood, behavior and cognition—these symptoms can limit one's existence—seclusion at home or avoidance of activities due to frequent triggers that occur during daily routines.
Being able to differentiate sources of individual symptoms, and thus, identify which pathways in the brain have been injured via diagnostic testing is an essential step toward brain injury rehabilitation or concussion treatment care that can selectively target, strengthen and restore your health.
7 Categories of evaluation and treatment for concussion and brain injury.
Cognition
Mood & behavior
Visual & oculomotor
Auditory & vestibular
Somatosensory
Autonomic function
Physiological function
Personalized brain rehabilitation
Chiropractic neurology utilizes a highly intensive regimen of physical and neurological exercises combined with neuromodulation techniques that can selectively target, strengthen and promote neuroplasticity in the impaired areas of the brain and nervous system due to injury or illness.
Known as "neural networks", the brain works on patterns of electrical activity which communicate and synchronize multiple regions throughout the brain together in order to perform physical and mental tasks. When the brain has been injured, neuronal cells and neural networks become damaged, out of sync, can fire erratically, and are often hyper-sensitive and prone to fatigue.
Our unique approach provides a non-invasive method to re-synchronize brain activity with sensory input as it's combined with physical movement patterns, visual exercises and cognitive tasks in order to retrain your brain's functional abilities. The precise application of neuromodulation protocols and therapeutic exercises are tailored specifically to your needs and goals.
Throughout the rehabilitation process we repeat our diagnostic testing to measure your results and to further modify your treatment plan to continue advancing your progress.
In situations when we are not able to restore function to damaged regions, we focus on retraining healthy regions of your brain to take over lost functional abilities, or assist with more appropriate adaptive strategies that can improve the quality of your life.
Evidence-based nutrition supports brain health and healing.
The health of your brain and it’s ability to heal is dependent upon the optimal function of your body, its organ systems and physiology. We don’t assume that you are only suffering from a brain injury. We perform a comprehensive history, examination and laboratory testing to evaluate your entire health status. This involves measuring blood sugar levels and complete blood count, obtaining a metabolic panel and cardiovascular risk profile, monitoring inflammatory markers, testing hormones and screening for possible infections that can complicate one’s ability to heal.
With this additional information we are able to recommend specific nutritional and natural medicine approaches which can support your ability to heal and recover. Dr. Chung also works with a team of integrative medicine specialists who can collaborate in providing the best care available once we have identified your specific needs.
