About
Concussion/Traumatic Brain Injury Overview
A concussion, also known as a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), occurs when the brain rapidly shifts inside the skull after a blow, bump, or jolt. This sudden movement can cause chemical and functional changes that temporarily disrupt normal brain function.
Concussions are more common than most people realize, and while many resolve with proper care, they can also lead to lasting symptoms if ignored. Repeated concussions increase the risks of chronic issues such as cognitive decline, mood disorders, and long-term neurological conditions.
Common Causes
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Sports and recreational impacts
- Physical assaults or blunt force trauma
How It Affects The Brain
- Physical
Headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, blurred vision, sensitivity to light or noise, balance problems, or brief loss of consciousness - Cognitive
Confusion, memory issues, difficulty concentrating, slowed processing, or “brain fog” - Emotional / Sleep
Irritability, mood swings, depression or anxiety, disrupted sleep patterns - Children & Teens
May show irritability, excessive sleepiness, delayed reactions, or withdrawal from normal activities
Red Flags — When to Seek Immediate Medical Care
- Loss of consciousness lasting more than one minute
- Worsening confusion or difficulty staying awake
- Repeated vomiting or seizures
- Severe or escalating headaches
- Weakness, numbness, or slurred speech
- Fluid drainage from nose or ears
How We Can Help
Comprehensive Assessment
At Peak Performance Institute, we use advanced tools such as QEEG brain mapping and 3D LORETA neuroimaging to understand how our clients’ life stressors, emotional or neurocognitive, are reflected in brain function. These objective measures are combined with detailed clinical evaluations to create a precise roadmap for recovery.
Neurotherapy & Integrative Treatments
Neurofeedback & Neuromodulation: Retrain brainwave activity, enhance connectivity, and restore cognitive performance.
Biofeedback & Movement Therapies: Rebuild balance between body and brain while supporting emotional resilience.
Integrative Psychotherapy & Neuro-Assisted Meditation: Address the emotional toll of psychological distress and transform adversity into resilience and overall well-being.
Collaborative Healing
Every plan is individualized. We partner with you to design a program that fits your personal, academic, or professional goals—whether that’s getting back on the field, excelling at work, or simply regaining daily balance.
What the Research Says
A clinical study of 67 TBI patients found that QEEG-guided neurofeedback led to symptom relief in 88%, improved brain patterns in 80%, and cognitive test gains in 76%.
Another trial with 27 participants showed significant reductions in abnormal brainwave activity and measurable improvements in recovery.
These findings confirm the value of neurotherapy as part of a concussion recovery plan.
