Revolutionizing Concussion Treatments in Fergus Falls
Sudden impact to your head can cause more than a bump or headache—an intense blow can also cause a concussion, a kind of traumatic brain injury (TBI). A concussion triggers chemical changes in your brain, which has the potential to permanently damage cells. That’s why making the right moves—fast—is so important to recovery.
Next, we’ll perform a functional neurologic assessment to evaluate different parts of your brain, including:
Detailed History: Your REVIV Medical provider will ask you about your medical history and gather details about past conditions, surgeries, and injuries.
Neurological Examination: This exam evaluates neurological functions like reflexes, sensation, coordination, balance, and muscle strength.
Cognitive Testing: We may perform tests to assess your memory, attention, language, problem-solving skills, and other cognitive functions.
Visual and Auditory Assessment: Testing of your vision and hearing, including eye movements, visual tracking, and auditory responses.
Balance and Coordination Testing: Evaluation of your gait, coordination, and balance through tests like standing on one leg or walking heel-to-toe.
Vestibular Assessment: Assessing your inner ear function and vestibular system, which plays an important role in spatial orientation and balance.
Functional Movement Evaluation: Noting how you perform ritual movements to identify any new abnormalities.
Specialized Testing: Based on your specific symptoms, additional tests may include imaging studies (MRI, CT scan) or electrophysiological tests (EEG, EMG).
Initial and Follow-Up Assessment and Outcomes Measurement: Your provider will perform detailed assessments of your symptoms, medical history, and current neurological health to determine any points of concern relative to your specific situation. Then, we’ll perform follow-up tests to track your progress.
Diagnostic Testing: From imaging studies (like MRIs and CT scans) to specialized tests (including EEG and EMG), we’ll conduct neurological exams to locate the causes of your symptoms.
Treatment Goals: Together, we’ll set specific, realistic goals for your treatment plan. This may include lowering your pain levels, improving mobility, or enhancing cognitive functions.
Therapeutic Interventions: Through a combination of techniques—from neurorehabilitation exercises to vestibular and balance training—we’ll address your specific symptoms.
Nutritional and Lifestyle Recommendations: To maximize the effects of your treatments and improve your overall health, we’ll also offer personalized nutrition and lifestyle management to empower you to improve your habits.
Medication Management: If you’re struggling with seizures, chronic pain, insomnia, or mood swings, we may prescribe the necessary medications.
Education and Empowerment: Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to your health. Here, we’ll provide all of the information you need to make informed decisions for yourself and your family about your concussion care.
Based on the nature and severity of your concussion—and treatment—your results can last for months or indefinitely.
