Long-term brain health… it’s a no brainer!
Our clinic is now an official Complete Concussion Management™ clinic. As concussions have become the focus for both professional and amateur athletes around the world, we at Active Chiropractic wanted to be at the forefront of concussion diagnosis, management, and rehabilitation. With our collaboration and education through Complete Concussion Management we now offer the very best in research-proven concussion treatments and rehabilitation.
How Can a Baseline Test Help to Keep Your Brain Safe and Healthy?
There is no X-ray or brain scan that can determine when you have received a concussion or when your brain has recovered to the point where you are safe to return to sports. The best tool we have available to ensure that you are safe to sustain another impact is to measure you at baseline (before injury) and then measure you again when we have assessed and determined that you have safely recoverd. This way we can pick up these very subtle deficits that indicate that you may not be fully recovered and are therefore vulnerable to a severe, and potentially permanent, brain injury.
No one can tell you when you have fully recovered…unless they have the data from all of these testing metrics from before you were injured. No one can see the energy levels in your brain that are affected with a concussion and research tells us you can’t rely on how you feel; you must be tested! On the other hand, perhaps what looked like a questionable impact has had no negative impact and the athlete can be cleared to return to sport, play, practice and school.

Athlete's Safety
The course is an information packed 2 hours with lots of time for any questions you may have. You will also learn more about what it is that we do in terms of testing here at the clinic and why these tests play an important role in your athletes' safety.
Trainers Manual
In this course you will be provided with a trainer manual upon arrival to the clinic. The trainer manual covers everything taught in the class and can be used as a reference later on in case of emergencies.
On course day be sure to bring a writing utensil, a few blank sheets of paper and a clipboard (or possibly a tablet) to write extra notes on. You may wish to dress comfortably and bring a sweater in case the gym is cold as we will be sitting for the majority of the course.
Not Just a Bump On The Head!
We need to get away from simply viewing concussions as a ‘bump on the head’ or ‘getting your bell rung’ or getting a ‘ding’. These are brain injuries and without the proper care and management, they can be quite devastating. Our course is meant to educate those who will be on the front lines when these injuries happen so that you, as trainers and/or coaches, will be better educated to deal with the injury properly and safely.
