How do Chiropractors assess my concussion progress?

This is called Concussion Baseline Testing. Simply put, your Chiropractor can assess you using a series of physical and computerised tests to measure healthy brain function BEFORE a sports season commences or PRIOR to a concussion injury.

In the event of a suspected concussion, our chiropractors use pre existing baseline testing results housed on our world-wide clinical data base to compare and determine the impact of the head or neck injury on the individual. This can help our Practitioners more accurately and objectively track when a person has returned to their pre-injury status and is safe to return to their regular sporting, recreational or work activities.
