Has she been treated by a NUCCA chiro ?

A osteopath with good manipulative skills may be able to do some diagnostics. Keep in mind that a specialist does not represent the skill set of others in the same specialty. I have been to numerous physical therapists. The difference in skill set is beyond belief. Same goes for chiros, orthos, and neuros.

I have learned to keep looking for that doctor who understands my condition. It is a long and frustrating effort. The challenge is to avoid being labeled a doctor shopper looking for a specific diagnosis or as a hypochondriac. I had this problem with Kaiser in San Jose.

SOAR does not mention any specific skills with concussions. Sports medicine clinics often claim concussions as a specialty because they work with ImPACT and other Computerized Neurocognitive Testing systems. They may be fine with the 85 percent of concussions that recover spontaneously. The rest are the challenge.

I wish I had success with my concussions while living in San Jose but I was not successful either.

My best to you.
