How does our concussion treatment work?
A concussion affects the brain, cranial nerves, and muscles of the neck and upper back. Our concussion clinic offers treatment that targets specific muscles to improve blood flow to the brain and relieve pressure on cranial nerves to eliminate post-concussion symptoms.
What is the protocol?
Our treatment protocol begins with a thorough assessment of strength, range of motion, balance, and cognitive functions. Based on the results, the therapist develops an individual treatment plan that includes the MyoWorx TM20 treatment, hands-on therapy and targeted exercises.
What is the TM20?
Developed and patented by Terry Moore, this one-of-a-kind device precisely targets the muscles involved in a concussion injury. The TM20 uses gentle electrical stimulation to induce biochemical changes, decreasing muscle tension and restoring healthy blood flow.
Our recent clinical data shows that 89% of patients suffering with Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) improve with the concussion treatment program. The results are consistent regardless of whether the patient has been suffering for a few weeks, a few months or even years prior to receiving the treatment.

What is a Concussion?
A concussion – classified as a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) – occurs whenever a direct blow to the head or whiplash effect causes the brain to bump against the skull. A common misconception about concussions is that a loss of consciousness occurs, but this is actually not the case. According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, up to 90% of concussions do not involve loss of consciousness. You should always consult with your physician immediately if you suspect a concussion.
What are Concussion Symptoms?
The symptoms of a concussion fall within 4 broad categories: physical, cognitive, emotional / behavioural and sleep disturbance. Data from our Concussion treatment program identifies upwards of 40 symptoms that are commonly associated with concussions.
Common symptoms of a concussion include headaches, dizziness, nausea, memory loss, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and loss of consciousness. When these symptoms or others occur for an extended period of time (about 3 months after the initial injury), the condition is known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and it can last for months or years, depending on the patient.
