Do you have ringing in your ears?
Do you have trouble remembering things?
Facing the world when you have been in a motor vehicle accident (MVA) and suffering a brain injury or concussion with lasting symptoms can be frightening and daunting to say the least.
Where do you go, who do you turn to for help? None of my Doctors truly understand what is wrong with me……
At iCare we alleviate the stress and fear of trying to navigate through the medical landscape in order to get answers of what is wrong with me and will I get better.
These symptoms can be the result of your brain injury and you may be suffering from post-concussion syndrome. Post-concussion syndrome is a condition that is typically associated with a head injury. The head injury may be categorized as a concussion or a mild traumatic brain injury. In general terms, post-concussion syndrome, or PCS, is a medical problem that persists for a period of time after a head injury has occurred. This period of time can range from weeks to months.
iCare has developed a protocol to assess, diagnose and treat your on-going debilitating symptoms. The body is an amazing labyrinth of systems all working together to keep us robust. It is the interplay of these symptoms that can be altered due to a brain injury. This alteration can have a devastating effect on our health and well being.
Today’s medical approach is to see your family Dr. Receive a diagnosis of concussion, then get referred to different specialists to deal with the different symptoms and receive treatment. The problem is that the care is fragmented, the specialists do not talk to each other, nor do they understand fully how their specialty and treatment plan might actually reverse or slow the healing process.
Patients are generally left on their own to circumnavigate the medical landscape. This can be extremely scary and stressful for patients. What do I do next? Who do I see? Why am I not getting better? Why isn’t this treatment working?
The iCare protocol is a truly collaborative approach to assessing, diagnosing, and treating patients so that they may reach their MAXIMUM REHABILITATIVE POTENTIAL.
The iCare Concussion Group has developed a triage assessment protocol that with the use of technology and science-based testing, can objectively identify and then diagnose a patient’s TRUE injuries.
