Follow on Google News | Confirmed Link Between CTE and Football Highlights Need For Research, TreatmentDr. Matthew Antonucci to discuss emerging treatment options in clinical neuroscience at Allegheny Health Network Orthopaedic Update 2016.
A concussion is caused by a rapid change in velocity of the head that compromises neurological activity, with or without a direct impact; it can cause headache or head pressure, nausea, dizziness or disorientation, sensitivity to light, changes in balance or ability to think, or sleep disturbances. It can impact memory and emotional state and cause anxiety or depression. "Recent studies have demonstrated long-term neurological changes years after concussion symptoms abate," said Antonucci, Director of Neurological Performance and Rehabilitation at Plasticity Brain Centers. "As a preliminary effort to detect and prevent CTE, we should at least observe, quantify and compare neurological function against a baseline, even in the absence of symptoms." As evidence of long-term concussion damage grows, clinical neuroscience is an emerging treatment option, especially for proactive patients and those whose symptoms have plateaued with prior treatment. Neuroplasticity is a scientifically proven concept in modern medicine. It's based on the ability of the brain to learn, change and improve through targeted therapies and exercises. In simple terms, it is repairing and strengthening injured functions of the brain through repetitive, personalized treatment programs. In April, Antonucci will present to the Allegheny Health Network's Orthopaedic Update 2016 to discuss concussion and neuroplasticity.

This is made possible through engagement with targeted neuro-receptors; End
