Post-Concussion Syndrome Care for Santa Cruz Patients
If you're in Santa Cruz and post-concussion syndrome hasn't improved with the usual approach, our clinic is in about 40 minutes over Highway 17 away. We start by investigating what's actually driving it.
What's Really Going On
A concussion disrupts several systems at once: the vestibular-ocular reflexes that keep your vision stable when you move, autonomic regulation (heart rate and blood-pressure response), and cellular energy production in the affected brain regions.
How We Treat It, Drug-Free
Active rehab replaces continued rest: vestibular and oculomotor retraining, autonomic-regulation work, and hands-on functional-neurology therapy tuned to the circuits your assessment identified.
Violet laser therapy supports the cellular side of recovery, applied transcranially to the affected brain regions to boost mitochondrial energy production and reduce lingering inflammation, working alongside the circuit-retraining rather than replacing it.
