Default PCS/mTBI? Two years out

I'm posting for my husband. He suffered a concussion two years ago from walking into a pole at work. He had to take three weeks off work and has had periodic flare ups for the past two years. He's been on anti-nausea medicine for a year, but it's not working at all in this flare up. Also, the doctor just seems to be treating the symptoms, not the root cause, which is the brain injury. We need to find an expert who can help. His main symptoms are nausea, dizziness, vertigo, sensitivity to light and sound, and balance issues. He is having the worst flare up he's had in two years this week--all triggered by tossing the ball with our dog in the backyard--he was turning quickly to watch her run with the ball. Anyway, he was off work all week and began to feel better, went back to work for four days, and now is having trouble walking because of the vertigo/nausea. We live in Ohio and I have no idea how to begin finding him the specialist or care he needs. Any help would be most appreciated. I'm swinging between panic and demoralization. What are the best medical journals for concussions? How can I tell if a concussion clinic is reputable? Who are the leading doctors and clinics and treatment centers in the midwest? Or in the US as a whole?
