Anyone been to or heard of it? The team apparently was trained at Carrick Brain Centers. |

Many have tried functional neurology or chiro neurology as it is also called. Some see improvements. Others do not. Carrick trained chiros often tend to add their own ideas to the Carrick protocol so you can not compare the different Carrick trained chiros.
The initial work-up can be expensive and is rarely covered by insurance. The treatments may not be either. Most insurance only covers chiro spinal manipulations only and not the ancillary treatments. If you are going to give it a try, guard your wallet. Use common sense before taking on a long prescribed treatment protocol. Remember, every concussion is different. What works for one may be useless for another. |

I wish I would've known about this place when I was on leave at home in MN, would've considered trying it.
__________________
26 year-old PhD student in evolutionary biology, slipped on ice in Feb 2014 while clipping my fingernails and walking to save time (dumbest reason for PCS ever?). Initially just had headaches and didn't feel quite right, but a minor head bump 5 days later started a downward spiral of anxiety, depression, insomnia and fatigue. Had trouble concentrating on reading/looking at screens April 2014 - did exertion test, passed, started exercising and doing more, but didn't feel much better. May 2014 - Went on backpacking trip OK'd by doctor, trip itself went fine, but felt worse a few days after getting back, more difficulty concentrating, worse headaches. June 2014 - Bumped head on ceiling walking slowly down stairs, no immediate symptoms, but caused worsening headahces, more difficulty concentrating and looking at screens. Have not felt as good as I did before this since this bump. December 2014 - after feeling relatively better I went xc skiing and fell but didn't hit my head (something my psychologist who specializes in brain injuries told me he hoped would happen so I saw it was OK), felt worse Feb 2015 - back in grad school, light teaching load and some research, nowhere close to operating at my full capacity. Still have constant headaches, difficulty reading/looking at screens, mild anxiety and depression, and just not feeling like my normal sharp self. Trying, but struggling, to believe that I'll get back to my old self, or at least get close. |
