An important distinction you must understand is that MOST concussion treatments have a high likelihood of failing simply because they attempt to cover up the symptoms and unfortunately fail to address the root cause.
We are Dr. Brad Ralston, DC, DACNB, FIBBIR and Dr. Lucas Gafken, DC, DACNB and we want to share some extremely important information in regards to concussions and how we are able to offer revolutionary and effective rehabilitation for brain injuries. We take a unique approach that is research-based and at the forefront of health care and have each completed a 450-hour post-doctorate course in post-concussion rehabilitation. While Dr. Lucas Gafken is one of just a dozen national speakers for Dr. Datis Kharrazian and Apex Seminars, he has been able to take the seminar material and transform it into his concussion and brain injury management and therapies that reflect the most up-to-date and cutting-edge approach in the world of functional medicine and functional neurology. Taking a look at the whole person, listening to their symptoms, and addressing the underlying root cause is exactly how we are able to help patients. You may have been told that your concussion symptoms will eventually just go away after you rest long enough and your only option is headache medication and/or antidepressants. Unfortunately for you, the concussion symptoms continue to linger despite giving it plenty of time. The good news for you is that better options exist. Our office has helped hundreds of people with our revolutionary Concussion Healing Program and given them the opportunity to heal their brain naturally and live a life free from headache medications or antidepressants, which merely only mask the symptoms you're experiencing. As chiropractic neurologists and authorities in functional medicine, we've seen the healing potential our patients have when we address the real reasons why their brain health is so poor. The avenue for success in our office is due to our ability to evaluate the whole person. A complex web of interaction occurs between the nervous system, immune system, and endocrine (hormone) system and when these three systems lose appropriate communication you are left with headaches, fatigue, brain fog, depression, light and sounds sensitivity and insomnia that don't fully heal from medications. |
Our Office Specializes in Alternative Brain Rehabilitation and Nervous System Healing Therapies
Think back to the time in your life before the head injury when you didn't have the daily debilitating headaches, brain fog, depression, waking up completely exhausted like you hadn't slept, memory loss and stomach problems that interfere with your life. As time goes on you spend each day hoping that it'll go away with every antidepressant or headache medication that you're prescribed. For some of you, your concussion may have started to limit your activities and social time or stopped you from enjoying vacations altogether. You notice that your symptoms gets worse as more stress enters your life and you ultimately become completely frustrated and begin to believe the prognosis that you've been given; that you just need to learn to live with it forever. The truth is you may be able to overcome these dreadful post-concussion symptoms even if you've had them linger for years. You may be able to overcome them even if you feel like there's no hope for you. This is only possible when multiple root causes are addressed simultaneously. Our Concussion Healing Program methodically addresses all of the underlying factors and helps determine where your brain health is breaking down. 6 Root Causes and Symptoms of Post-Concussion Syndrome 1. Impaired Vestibular System 2. Increased Sympathetic "Fight or Flight" Nervous System 3. Inappropriate Ocular (Eye) Movements 4. Headaches/Migraines 5. Poor sleep/Inability to sleep 6. Cognitive/Behavioral Changes

1. Impaired Vestibular System
The vestibular system (inside the inner ear) is the sensory system that gives humans the ability to have appropriate balance and know where they are at in relation to their world while they are moving. All too commonly, the vestibular system becomes impaired in those with brain injuries. It then becomes increasing difficult to ride in automobiles, change position quickly, partake in athletic activities, or move normally as they had before the concussion. 2. Increased Sympathetic "Fight or Flight" Nervous System
The sympathetic nervous system's primary responsibility is to stimulate the body's fight-or-flight response. This division of the nervous system lives in the upper brainstem, directly next to the areas that process light and sound from our environment. With a concussion, this upper brainstem will over-fire and lead to light sensitivity (photophobia), sound sensitivity (phonophobia), increased sweating, rapid heart beating and the inability to handle a normal amount of visual input. |
3. Inappropriate Ocular (Eye) Movements
The visual system and movements of the eyes are under neurological control from the brain, brainstem and vestibular system. It is very common that disruption in the neurological control centers for the eyes will become impaired when a brain injury occurs. One will experience a difficult time staring at a stationary target, following a movie target, or having inappropriate visual reflexes. This can lead to brain fatigue with reading or driving. 4. Headaches or Migraines
Headaches, and in some more severe cases migraines, will occur due to a head injury. Trauma to the head can facilitate inflammation in the brain and cause headaches. It would not be uncommon for light and sounds to trigger headaches, and the headaches themselves can further promote more sensitivity to ambient light and sounds. This becomes a vicious cycle and mechanisms promoting the problem need to be addressed. Aura may precede the migraines and for some people this pattern may become chronic. |
5. Poor sleep/Inability to sleep
The inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, wake up unrefreshed even after perceived plenty of sleep and the inability to turn the mind off and relax typically occur with concussions. Brain injuries require your need to sleep for optimal healing, however a shift in cortisol hormone, failure to produce certain neurotransmitters, and overactivity of others will shift the brain into a mode where quality sleep is rarely achieved. Stress due to the head injury aggravate all of these possibilities. 6. Cognitive/Behavioral Changes
Due to a multitude of factors, a shift in neurochemistry can lead to a daily struggle with depression and anxiety following the head trauma. Depression is typically seen as the result of decrease production of serotonin and dopamine, and can be promoted in some of those that don't regain their health in a short period of time. Anxiety is typically seen due to failure of the production of a neurotransmitter called GABA, or can be promoted by too many excitatory neurochemicals in the brain. |
