Conventional medicine
First and most crucial assessment tool for any form of brain injury. No matter what the severity of your head injury is, it is important to receive an assessment and possibly be referred for imaging.
Naturopathic medicine
Individualized treatment plans based around brain recovery, endocrine and nervous system support, musculoskeletal care, and gut healing. We use traditional and evidence-based tools such as nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, parenteral therapy, and other modalities to help you achieve your goals.
optometry
Your eyes are a key component of your vestibular system and are a critical part of concussion recovery.
physiotherapy
Initial assessments. Oculomotor exercises, vestibular (balance) exercises, and cognitive exercises can be tailored to individuals’ deficits. Address muscle and ligament damage that is often contributing to headaches and other concussion symptoms.
Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
TCM involves a thorough assessment of your current injury and your entire state of health. Acupuncture and herbal medicine have been shown to be a safe and effective form of treatment for mTBI and can be administered immediately following a head injury.
Chiropractic
Chiropractors can play an important role in the diagnosis, support and recovery of concussions, as well as co-managing a patient with other health care providers.
Osteopathy
Address physical pain due to injury. May improve lymphatic drainage with manipulation of cranial bones and dura mater attachments. Assess vagal nerve dysfunction – crucial for parasympathetic activation and healing.

The vast majority of inflammation comes from the gut. Holistic Nutrition is a powerful tool in reducing bodily inflammation while improving focus, mood and energy through the elimination of inflammatory foods and introduction of traditional, nutrient-dense, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory meals.
