The Dynamic Concussion Management Program is a well-respected leader in concussion management. Founder, Dr. Craig Coghlin, has been studying and actively researching concussions for over ten years, and strives to offer the region's paramount concussion rehabilitation program.
Over the last years, more and more attention has been paid to the role of neck pain in the recovery from concussions. Dr. Coghlin was one of the first active researchers to be assessing this correlation and his research has been referenced in many different domains.
In 2019 Dr. Coghlin became one of the only chiropractors in Canada to become a Certified Clinical Vestibular Therapist through the University of Texas. This intensive program focuses on vestibular diagnosis and therapies to address concerns related to concussions, vestibular hypofunctioning, and types of vertigo.

TherapyConcussions require only a short period of initial rest. Prolonged rest is not a successful management strategy. Subthreshold exercise has been shown to decrease recovery time in patients with concussion. In addition to your clinical rehab program, Dr. Coghlin will provide specific home exercises to help expedite your recovery.

Baseline TestingA baseline test is a battery of individual tests assessing a person's current level of functioning. Dr. Coghlin will address your neurocognitive, vestibular, and visual systems to attain a healthy status level to compare with in the event of an injury.
