What to expect

Concussion, be it mild or severe, is too important to ignore. Our comprehensive Concussion Clinic is designed to provide the right investigations required to manage your specific concussion level before initiating a personalised treatment plan with appropriate guidance from our experts.

Stage one – Your discovery phase

  • 1

    Your initial appointment – The Assessment

    A concussion expert will assess your symptoms, including a general medical review and assessment, detailed testing of your cognitive skills and balance, blood tests and an MRI scan of your brain.

  • 2

    MEG Scan (optional additional appointment)

    After consulting with our doctor, you may wish to undertake a MEG scan. While the MRI will have assessed the structure of your brain, the MEG scan will give us an insight into how it’s functioning. The scanner is extremely sensitive, making previously invisible injuries visible. The results from this scan give us a baseline of data so we can measure the success of your following treatment.

    Your follow-up appointment

    We will discuss your test results and create a personalised treatment plan.

    Cognitive treatment plan: We’ll focus on specific symptoms, review exercise, sleep, and nutritional habits.

    Vestibular treatment plan: We will address any balance and visual issues you may have over three sessions.

    Combination of the two: You may benefit from both plans to receive a mix of treatments.

Your final review

After you have completed your treatment pathways, we will review you again to see how you have improved. If you had a MEG scan in the Discovery Phase, we will send you a second scan, so we can see how your brain functionality has improved.

It may be that you would benefit from further treatment, but you will likely be back on track and ready to live your life to the fullest again.
