At VSC Wellness Center, we take a proactive, whole-body approach to concussion recovery. Rather than simply waiting for symptoms to resolve, our goal is to actively support healing, restore function, and help you return to normal life as safely and quickly as possible.
Concussions can affect much more than just the head—they impact the brain, nervous system, balance, muscles, and overall function of the body (including digestion). That’s why our treatment approach is multidisciplinary and personalized for each patient.
OUR TEAM APPROACH TO CONCUSSION RECOVERY
A Comprehensive, Team-Based Approach to Concussion Care
At VSC Wellness Center, concussion recovery isn’t left to chance — and it’s never one-dimensional.
We combine specialized physical therapy with chiropractic care and brain-based support to address the full picture of healing, so you can recover faster and more completely.
Dr. Allison Bush, DPT – Concussion Rehabilitation Specialist
Dr. Allison Bush provides specialized physical therapy to address the key systems affected by concussion and lingering symptoms after a mild traumatic brain injury.
Her treatment focuses on restoring function and includes:
• Vestibular Rehabilitation – Addresses vertigo, dizziness, and balance issues (affecting up to 50% of patients)
• Oculomotor / Vision Therapy – Improves blurred vision, focusing issues, and eye tracking (Brock string, pencil push-ups)
• Cervical Spine Therapy – Treats neck pain, tension, and headaches related to concussion or whiplash
• Graduated Return-to-Play or Work – Guides a safe progression back to physical and cognitive activity
• Autonomic Nervous System Assessment – Uses monitored exercise (Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test) to support proper brain blood flow
Her goal is to reduce symptoms, restore confidence, and help patients safely return to daily life.
Dr. Amber James, DC – Chiropractic & Brain-Based Recovery
While physical therapy restores balance and coordination, many concussion symptoms are also driven by dysfunction in the neck, nervous system, and brain-body communication.
Dr. Amber James focuses on restoring these critical connections.
Through gentle, targeted chiropractic care, she helps:
✔ Improve communication between the brain and body
✔ Restore proper biomechanics of the neck and spine
✔ Reduce stress on the nervous system
✔ Support faster, more complete healing
Supporting Brain Recovery Through Clinical Nutrition
Healing after a concussion requires more than physical treatment.
Dr. James incorporates clinical nutrition strategies to:
• Support brain energy and function
• Reduce inflammation
• Promote optimal healing of brain tissue
• Improve resilience during recovery
Why Our Combined Approach Works
Most concussion treatments only focus on one piece of the problem.
We address:
✔ The brain
✔ The nervous system
✔ The neck and biomechanics
✔ Balance and coordination
✔ Internal healing and inflammation
This integrated approach helps patients recover more fully — and often faster — than traditional, single-method care. We help improve brainand body function, prevent long-tern complications and get you back to work, school, or sports quicker!
