Peak Health Chiropractic is a proud clinic of the Complete Concussion Management Inc. (CCMI) Partnership Program – a network of clinics around the world offering evidence-based concussion care.
From initial pre-season baseline testing to concussion treatment and rehabilitation, we collaborate with primary care physicians to co-manage concussions, helping patients and athletes safely return to learn, work and play.
What is a concussion?
A concussion is a brain injury caused by acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. The impact causes a biochemical imbalance within the brain cells, resulting in decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, headache, pressure in the head, neck pain, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, or balance problems, among others.
We collaborate with primary care physicians to co-manage concussions, helping patients and athletes safely return to learn, work and play.
We offer concussion treatment services & strategies including:
- Testing for return-to-sport readiness and exercise programs for persistent symptoms
- Specific rehabilitation exercises for concussion
- Balance, reaction time, visual processing, and neurocognitive testing (pre-season baseline and/or post-injury/return to sport testing)
- Educational resources
Baseline concussion testing provides healthcare practitioners with a pre-injury benchmark.
Baseline Concussion Testing
Our baseline concussion testing involves a series of physical and cognitive tests that provide a pre-injury overview of healthy brain function.
What is the purpose of the test?
Baseline concussion testing provides healthcare practitioners with a pre-injury benchmark on which to compare should a client sustain a concussion.
As concussion symptoms often disappear days to weeks before the brain has recovered, having baseline information can help ensure you have a safer return to play.
