Concussion Management
We are proud to be part of the Shift Concussion Management Certified Provider Network, a well-respected and recognized concussion management system based in Guelph, Ont.
As a certified concussion management centre, we utilize systematic and proven protocols in the detection and full management of concussions. From injury to return to sport, protocols are based on well-researched methods and from use in hundreds of concussion cases at all levels of sport.
We are continually upgrading our education and referral network in Vaughan to provide comprehensive and complete concussion management and education.
Concussion services offered include:
- Individual and Team Baseline Testing
- Baseline testing is of significant importance to have a “snapshot” of the normal neurocognitive function of the brain pre-injury. Your baseline testing includes administration of the ImPACT neurocognitive test. Your information is stored for future comparison should a concussion occur.
- Post-Injury Care
- Should a concussion occur or be diagnosed by a medical physician, your first step to care is a thorough and comprehensive concussion evaluation. Early post-injury examination is very important. This is critical in order to allow us to establish the severity and systemic effects of the injury as well as to recommend and educate specific initial care instructions. Should the nature of your concussion be out of our scope of care, you will be referred appropriately.
- Return to Sport
- Guided and progressive rehabilitation as well as graded return to sporting activity are also a part of the concussion care protocols we provide.
