hopeful,
Be sure they take a close look at her upper neck.
Most concussion specialists are more like doctors who want concussion patients that doctors who know how to care for them. They get a captive patient base because schools that use ImPACT and other computerized concussion testing systems require a 'concussion specialist' approval before allowing return to activities.
I hope the osteopath is not trying to 'read' and adjust her skull plates. Light neck work, traction and gentle manipulation can be helpful. The research into concussion and acupuncture showed no benefit.
Quiet rest and good upper cervical care plus proper brain nutrition are about all that can be done. Maybe the integrative medicine will treat her with this in mind.
I wonder which meds are helping her and which may be working against her. She needs a good assessment of all her meds in context of a concussion patient, not a common psych patient.
Hope she gets a good assessment.
My best to you both.
