Concussion Management

Motus HEALTH is a certified clinic specializing in concussion diagnosis and management. If you suspect you’ve sustained a concussion, it’s crucial to seek medical attention right away. Early intervention significantly improves the outcome and recovery time for concussions. Before your appointment, we’ll send you a few questionnaires to complete and email back to us. When you arrive, you’ll fill out additional forms, and our chiropractor will take time to review your health history, injury background, and discuss your symptoms. A physical exam will be performed, followed by a concussion diagnosis and determination of the type of concussion. Based on this assessment, your doctor will provide initial advice and education on next steps. If needed, further testing will be done. You’ll leave with reassurance, a clear diagnosis, and a suggested course of treatment moving forward. How Do I Know It’s a Concussion? Our clinic evaluates all five potential concussion symptom areas: Neck pain Visual and vestibular system Metabolism Psychological factors The neck itself Dr. Erin White will assess the situation thoroughly and determine the appropriate treatment, whether at home or in the clinic. Common concussion symptoms include head pain, neck pain, dizziness, vertigo, nausea, memory problems, and sometimes loss of consciousness.

Concussions are treatable, and most individuals recover fully. Early diagnosis and intervention minimize the chance of long-term complications. Dr. White spends significant time educating patients on concussion awareness and treatment options.

It’s important to note that 50% of concussions in sports go unrecognized or unreported. Even if no symptoms are present, any concerns should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent lasting effects.
