Once your doctor has determined your symptoms are that of a concussion, our team of professional concussion therapists in Grande Prairie can help create a personalized plan to help you overcome your ailment.

Our Concussion Assessment Process in Grande Prairie

When you arrive at our Grande Prairie office for your first day of treatment, we will verify that your symptoms are those related to a concussion and then will determine if physiotherapy at our Grande Prairie clinic is the right course of action. We will ask your medical history as well as your age, if you have had any prior concussions, if you have any sleep disorders or depression, what your levels of activity are, your occupation, etc. so we can make a clear plan moving forward. When physiotherapy is decided as the step to take, it means that your headaches, dizziness, balance, or neck pain have something to do with your cervical spine or vestibular area. Once we decide on that course, we will begin running tests to determine any red flags. Some red flags indicating something more serious is going on can include:

If these symptoms occur, you will then need an immediate medical evaluation. Additionally we will also do physical scans by observing your posture , checking blood pressure, and doing neurological scans. It may seem as though we have too many tests however if the proper tests are not done, a concussion can lead to serious short or long term effects.

Once our evaluation is complete at our Grande Prairie location, we will then personalize our treatment plan for you based on how severe or minor your concussion is. Our plans may consist of laser therapy, rest, reduced screen time, etc. all tailored to your specific brain and what it needs to heal.
