Concussion Clinic by McAllister Rehab

A concussion can be simply defined as a disruption in neurological functioning following a significant acceleration or deceleration of the brain; typically as result of an impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. However, it is important to understand that a concussion injury can occur WITHOUT a hit to the head provided a significant enough force was transmitted through the body. The brain disturbance causes a biochemical imbalance within brain cells as well as decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain.

The Concussion Clinic by McAllister Rehab focuses on the baseline test for athletes and non-athletes such as motor vehicle accident injuries. We also treat Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) with the aim of returning patients to regular activities of daily living and/or sport activities.
