What kind of neurological testing did they do at the sport medicine doctors' clinic ?

Was it called ImPACT or HeadMinder or CNS VitalSigns or SCAT II ?

Or was it just a balance, reflex, and simple memory test ?

Very few sport medicine doctors have any more than a weekend conference of concussion training, often related to the testing system they use. They are usually more orthopedic oriented.

Please be very careful about any meds for depression. He is too young for most unless he is under the care of an expert pediatric psychiatrist. My neuro put me on anti-seizure meds at a similar age. They settled my brain down.

Please tell me again what his biggest struggles are. I try to scroll back but my brain damaged memory leaves me confused.

My best to you.

His sports medicine doctor didn't believe in the results of the ImPACT testing however we did have those. My son also participated in a case study for UK regarding concussions.

His sports medicine doctor also tested his balance and reflexes each week.

His symptoms are ... all the while since his concussion my son is just a different person. He is moodier, more smart alec, back talks more, seems a little distant, can't remember to tie his shoes most of the time, gets agitated quickly, still believes he could win a fight, and goes from zero to ****** with a quickness. Now to top it all off he is failing school. We grounded him over grades (he previously is a procrastinator but never been to the point of failing). And we have taken away everything that requires electricity for the most part but it always lingers in the back of my head that it could be an issue with his concussion. In our most recent conversation with him he admitted the downtime between football and condition (about 2 months) he was really depressed. And even thought about what it would be like if he wasn't around anymore. This came as a total shock to me! Now he is back into conditioning and happier but I just don't know what to do.

Thank you so much Mark I greatly appreciate your insight.

atlas vertebrae adjustment
 

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know about something that has been a major game changer for me. Your son sounds like he has the same residual problems that I have had for the past two years after slipping on ice and hitting my head. I have been suffering for two years and have been researching day and night to find a cure for my condition. Doctor's couldn't help me.. just gave me anti depressants and more pain killers.... but a piece of my personality was still missing. I recently found a specialist who adjusted my Atlas vertebrae. It's a very specific adjustment that regular chiropractors don't do. It's the vertebrae at the very top of your spine. It is only about 1.5 oz and supports your brain and skull. I had an mri which regular docs said was fine but when the specialist looked at it she realized that that vertebrae was off to one side which meant that my cerebellum (rear brain section) was falling below my skull and being pulled into my spinal cavity. After the adjustment I have no stabbing brain pain, my balance is better, I don't stutter, and my memory seems to have improved....along with several other symptoms. The doctor that I see is in Vancouver BC. Her name is Dr. Sabrina Chen-see. You can look her up on the net and see what I'm talking about. I hope this helps your son. Hugs

Has anyone looked at his Atlas vertebrae? It was a miracle for me and I just wanted to share that as an option.
