My colleagues and I started the Concussion Fix program when the pandemic first hit as a way of offering an extremely low-cost virtual concussion care service that would be accessible to people all around the world. After 2 years we have helped more than 2000 patients with long-standing post-concussion syndrome - sometimes as long as 7+ years - to fully recover from their concussions and get their lives back.
In this episode, we asked a handful of former Concussion Fix members to join us to talk about their injury, their recovery, and their experience with the Concussion Fix program and how it helped them to get back to work, family, friends, sports, and life.
If you are struggling with long-standing concussion symptoms that are just not getting better, consider joining the Concussion Fix program and hundreds of other concussion survivors who are recovering every day with this program! https://concussiondoc.io/offer/the-concussion-fix/

Why do some people get better in a week while others take months to years?
PCS” is the acronym that was originally assigned to Post-Concussion Syndrome which was defined as having 3 or more concussion-related symptoms 1 to 3 months or more after a concussion injury. The term Post-Concussion Syndrome was replaced a few years ago with “Persistent Concussion Symptoms” and more recently by “Prolonged Concussion Symptoms”. In any case, the acronym remains: P.C.S. Anyone who has struggled with PCS or knows someone who has knows how difficult this condition can be. We are often told by healthcare professionals that there is no treatment for this condition other than TIME. Recent research over the past decade however has uncovered a lot of new information regarding the CAUSES and TREATMENTS of this complex condition. In part 1 of this two part series we break down the CAUSES of persistent concussion symptoms. In part 2 we will discuss the treatments.
Concussion is treatable. If you or someone you know is suffering with PCS, we hope this information will provide some guidance and hope to continue pushing on.
If you’d like additional support in your recovery, check out our Concussion Fix program where we dive deep into each of these concepts and teach you how to take control of your recovery in a controlled and evidence-based way! https://concussiondoc.io/offer/the-concussion-fix/

Baseline testing is the concept of testing athletes on their mental and physical abilities prior to the season. The results of these tests can be valuable if an athlete sustains a concussion during the sports season as tests can be re-administered to determine the level of impairment and whether an athlete has fully recovered and is safe to return to their sport. In this episode we cover the latest evidence on baseline testing, how to find a good baseline test, and some of the controversies.

We mostly hear from people who have had a concussion months to years ago who are still struggling with symptoms. They always tell us, I wish that I had come across this information earlier and I wouldn’t be in this situation right now.
The current scientific research demonstrates that between 30-40% of people who suffer a concussion will still be suffering symptoms 1 month later and many will still have symptoms at 6 months. The major reasons why some patients suffer from persistent symptoms and others don’t is becoming more widely known - THE GOOD NEWS is that once you know these, you can use them to your advantage!
This episode is for those who have JUST recently suffered a concussion and want to start off on the right foot to recover as quickly as possible. Using the strategies we discuss in this episode are the same ways that Complete Concussion Management clinics have been able to keep the number of patients with symptoms after 1 month down to less than 5%. Please share this if you know someone who has just suffered a concussion so that they can implement these strategies and avoid long-term issues.

This week we interview 2-time Stanley Cup champion, Daniel Carcillo (@danielcarcillo13 on Instagram and @carbombboom13 on Twitter) about his journey through concussions, depression, contemplations of suicide, and eventually on the road to recovery through the use of psilocybin (the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms - AKA Magic Mushrooms).
Currently still an illegal drug in many parts of the world, psilocybin is continuing to show tremendous promise in the treatment of a variety of mental health conditions and addictions. Could TBI be next? Let’s explore!

It is common for concussion patients, even after recovery and being symptom-free for a while, to experience tremendous anxiety any time they even slightly bump their heads. Nazeeg Haneshian (@invisiblescar on instagram) is a former patient of mine. She fully recovered after 6 years of battling with Post Concussion Syndrome…last month she messaged me worried about a recent bump to her head. I talked her down using the premise that “We are NOT that fragile”. We decided to have a conversation so that others experiencing this constant anxiety can listen and hopefully get some relief. Enjoy!

Prior to age 25 males seem to suffer a greater number of concussions presumably due to greater participation in contact sports, however, after age 25 and every age group after, females suffer concussion injuries in greater numbers. Even in young athletes when we look at sex comparable sports where the rules are the same for both boys and girls (i.e., basketball, soccer, rugby, etc.) we see that girls tend to suffer concussions at a rate of 1.5x that of males. Not only that, women tend to also take longer to recover.
In this episode Dr. Marshall sits down with Dr. Paul Hrkal, to discuss concussions in women and everything from risk factors, to hormones, to menstrual cycles, menopause, and persistent concussion symptoms. Interested in learning more about the treatment and management of concussion?

Visual dysfunctions are very common following concussion with more than 50% of patients demonstrating impairments in oculomotor function. Patients who have difficulties with their vision often seek out the help of a Neuro-Optometrist (which is an optometrist who specializes in rehabilitation of the eyes to help make them work better as a team). This type of vision rehab program can be very helpful in some concussion patients HOWEVER there are a few things that you should keep in mind prior to signing up!

SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) is a type of functional imaging modality that is used to analyze blood flow and metabolism of certain tissues. Because concussion can cause a reduction in brain blood flow, there has been some interest around SPECT for patients with chronic concussion symptoms with many patients trying to find ways to get this image done. BUT…as we explore in this episode, you’ll find that it may not be able to provide you with the insights you are looking for!

This episode 78 of Ask Concussion Doc focuses on the importance of seeking concussion care early. Being unable to find proper care early on may then lead to the patient experiencing persistent concussion symptoms thus preventing them from recovering as soon as possible. A recent 2015 study by Polaski and colleagues determined from 180 participants that a delay in the initial evaluation was the most predictive factor for having a prolonged recovery.

However, almost 50% of concussion patients experience some form of sleep deprivation. This is where blue light therapy comes in.

In this episode 75 of Ask Concussion Doc, Dr. Cameron Marshall goes in depth with the biomechanics of a concussion. A concussion was often described as a bruising of the brain, but a new theory suggests that it's actually a stretching or a shearing of the brain causing an ion exchange. Once the brain cells have been stretched to a significant degree, it causes the ions inside and outside the pores on the membrane of each cell to exchange with one another therefore causing an excitation of the impacted brain cells. It then leads to the brain going through what is called an action potential and is what causes people to go unconscious or "see stars".

The nocebo effect refers to new or worsening symptoms that develop in response to negative health-related information, beliefs, and/or experiences. When dealing with concussion patients in both the acute and chronic phase, it's important that we, as healthcare professionals, speak to our patients in a way that reduces the risks of the nocebo effect.
In this podcast, we discuss the evidence surrounding the nocebo effect in various clinical trials, RCTs, as well as in the concussion literature. We also talk about societal nocebos and how the media and public perception may influence how your patients present and things to consider throughout your management of concussion patients.

Dizziness and vertigo are common symptoms following a concussion.
Although these symptoms often resolve, they can become persistent and debilitating for some patients. The most frustrating part for patients is the lack of visible findings on examination or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to verify their symptoms.
For those that have never heard of vertigo, it is the sensation or feeling of being off balance. A patient often feels like they are spinning, or describe the world as spinning around them.
We talk about these common symptoms in this episode.

Historically, concussed people were told to rest until they feel better. While rest is important in the early stages (24 - 48 hours), that timeline seems to be getting shorter, with longer duration rest causing worse outcomes for patients.
In this episode, we discuss the top 5 causes of persistent concussion symptoms and how to manage complex patients:
- Blood flow and autonomic nervous system
- Metabolic, inflammatory and hormonal
- Visual and vestibular
- Cervical spine
- Psychological

Welcome to Ask Concussion Doc. This week, we'll discuss:
1) Can you explain neuro-fatigue? And, what exactly is happening in the brain when things get confusing or slowed way down in the brain?
2) I saw that CCMI has a 10-day return to learn/work/play protocol. Right now, we use a 5-day return to sport protocol, but that's obviously only for our athletes. We have to abide by the MDs orders regardless, but after that we implement the protocol accordingly. Do you feel like a 5-day protocol is adequate for our situation considering we cannot make educational accommodations for patients?
3) I have 2 elderly patients that all have dizziness and fatigue as their main symptom. Due to this population being super rigid into extension, how can I test for BPPV?
