Today, we shine a spotlight on the intersection of chiropractic care and functional neurology in the realm of concussion recovery. Concussions, often underestimated, can have far-reaching effects on both physical and neurological well-being. In our pursuit of comprehensive care, Axon Integrative Health integrates chiropractic principles and functional neurology to offer a nuanced and effective approach to concussion rehabilitation.

Understanding Concussion
A concussion, commonly labeled a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), occurs when the brain experiences a sudden jolt or blow, leading to a disruption in normal function. While concussions are often associated with sports injuries, they can stem from various incidents such as car accidents, falls, or even seemingly minor bumps to the head. The complexity of the brain’s structure makes it susceptible to injury, and the aftermath of a concussion can manifest as a myriad of symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, brain fog, feeling “off”, memory issues, and sensitivity to light and sound.
Chiropractic Care for Concussion
Chiropractic care, a cornerstone of our integrative approach, focuses on the spine’s alignment to ensure optimal nervous system function. When it comes to concussion recovery, chiropractic adjustments play a crucial role in realigning the spine, relieving tension, and promoting overall well-being. Misalignments in the spine, even those seemingly unrelated to the head, can contribute to neurological dysfunction. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic care facilitates the body’s natural healing processes, fostering a conducive environment for concussion recovery.
Functional Neurology’s Vital Role:
Functional neurology is an innovative approach that examines the intricate connection between the nervous system and overall health. In the context of concussion rehabilitation, functional neurology addresses the specific neurological deficits that arise post-injury. This approach involves targeted exercises, sensory stimulation, and rehabilitation techniques designed to retrain and strengthen the affected neural pathways. Our practitioners leverage their expertise to create personalized programs that cater to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring a comprehensive and tailored approach to recovery.
The Synergy of Chiropractic Care and Functional Neurology
The synergy between chiropractic care and functional neurology is where Axon Integrative Health truly distinguishes itself. By combining spinal and extremity adjustments with targeted neurological interventions, we provide a holistic and integrated approach to concussion recovery. Chiropractic adjustments create a foundation for optimal movement and nervous system function, while functional neurology fine-tunes the intricate neural connections that may be compromised after a concussion.
Patient-Centric Approach
At Axon Integrative Health, we understand that every concussion is unique, and so is every patient. Our patient-centric approach emphasizes individualized care plans, considering the specific symptoms, challenges, and goals of each individual on their path to recovery.
