Book Concussion AssessmentMore Than Just "Rest In A Dark Room"
A concussion is not just a brain injury. It almost always involves the neck (whiplash effect), the vestibular system (balance), and the visual system (tracking and focus). Treating only the brain while ignoring these systems is why so many clients develop persistent issues.
At Drive Wellness, we use our comprehensive assessment methodology to test the entire visual-vestibular-cervical triad. We pinpoint exactly which system is causing your lingering pain, allowing us to rehabilitate the specific deficit holding you back.

- ✓ Safe Return to Play & Work Protocols
Issues We Resolve
Concussions rarely present the same way in two different people. We target the specific neurological and physical systems causing your individual challenges.
Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)
When issues linger for weeks or months after impact, we break the cycle using targeted heart-rate thresholds to retrain your autonomic nervous system and restore normal brain function.
Vestibular Issues (Dizziness)
Off-balance, dizzy, or nauseous when you move your head? We rehabilitate the tiny organs in your inner ear that tell your brain where you are in space — restoring your equilibrium.
Visual Fatigue & Tracking
Headaches staring at screens? Brain fog when reading? Your eyes are working too hard to focus. We implement specialized visual tracking exercises to restore efficiency and reduce strain.
Cervicogenic Headaches
Most concussions involve enough force to cause whiplash. Your stubborn headaches may actually stem from cervical muscle spasms at the base of your skull, not the brain itself.
Our Concussion Care Protocol
Baseline & Post-Injury Testing
We conduct comprehensive evaluations measuring memory, reaction time, balance, and visual processing. Comparing pre- and post-injury metrics ensures we make decisions based on objective neurological data, not guesswork.
Targeted Sensitization Rehab
We guide you through exercises designed to safely expose your brain to controlled stimuli. Whether it's cervical release, gaze stabilization, cupping for neck spasms, or sub-symptom treadmill testing, we rebuild your tolerance systematically.
Graduated Return to Play/Work
We don't guess when you're ready. Our Athletic Therapists walk you through a heavily monitored, multi-stage return protocol to ensure it is 100% safe to get back to the field and the office.
Concussion FAQs
Every brain is different. The acute metabolic phase typically resolves in 10-14 days for adults, but persistent post-concussion issues can last weeks or months if the neck, eyes, or vestibular system are not properly rehabilitated.
Baseline testing is a series of cognitive, physical, and visual tests performed BEFORE a sports season begins when the athlete is healthy. If they suffer a concussion, we re-test and compare data objectively to confirm genuine recovery before clearing them.
No. Modern evidence strongly advises against extended "cocoon therapy." Active, sub-symptom-threshold rehabilitation within the first 48-72 hours is the gold standard and leads to significantly faster recovery.
Absolutely. Motor vehicle accidents are one of the most common causes of concussion. The whiplash forces that injure your neck also accelerate and decelerate your brain inside the skull. We frequently treat patients with both whiplash and concussion simultaneously.
