ABOUT
The team at Headquarters are very passionate about concussion management and helping you get back to your daily activities. We work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals when needed to ensure you are getting the targeted care required for your recovery. You do not need a referral to make an appointment at Headquarters.
​
​ACUTE CONCUSSION
Relying on symptom recovery alone is a poor indicator of physiological recovery of a concussion. This means that your symptoms may go away well before your nervous system and body has completely recovered. If you rely on symptom recovery alone, you may be putting yourself at an increased risk of further injury and complications. This creates a need for objective testing to help ensure that your physiology has healed.
​
CHRONIC CONCUSSION (persistent concussion symptoms)
A concussion can create a multitude of dysfunctions throughout your brain and body. Similar to other injuries, these dysfunctions generally need to be rehabilitated to prevent further complications, injuries and compensatory mechanisms. ​ If you are still experiencing symptoms after a head injury, or if you still do not feel quite right, there is probably still and area of your brain (or body) not doing what it should, or not communicating how it should. A thorough multi-system examination will help to identify the dysfunctional area that may be driving your prolonged symptoms, which will direct appropriate rehabilitation. ​​​​​​
​​
Headquarters strives to integrate the fundamentals of neurology and neuroplasticity with the latest concussion research to deliver comprehensive concussion assessment, management, rehabilitation and baseline testing. We are passionate about creating concussion awareness and educating the community on safe return to sport, work and school protocols.
​
An initial assessment is available for those who have had a diagnosed or suspected concussion injury, even if the injury was many years ago. If you are experiencing symptoms after a head injury, or even if you still don't feel quite right, an initial concussion assessment is for you.
​​
At Headquarters, your initial concussion consultation will include a thorough multi-system examination to try and get as much information as we can about how your body is functioning and communicating. The more information we get, the more specific that we can be with rehabilitation. Rehabilitation and management strategies are generally implemented on your first visit and return to work, school or sport guidelines will be given as necessary.
