Listen "Concussion Nerds: The Roundtable EP 2: Is your concussion clinic legit? The questions we need to ask"

Episode Synopsis

Could the clinic you're trusting with your brain actually be doing more harm than good? Too many people assume "concussion clinic" on a website means expert care — and they end up getting one-size-fits-all treatments, vague reassurance, or worse: passive "symptom management" that stalls recovery. That confusion is costing people time, money, and progress. In this episode we pull back the curtain on what realconcussion care looks like, how to spot red flags (and good signs), and why an integrated, multi-system screen — not a single weekend course — matters. We also meet Seira, whose post-concussion picture includes POTS and complex vision issues, and dig into how you actually treat those drivers instead of just masking symptoms. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL LEARN: How to tell a legitimate concussion clinic from a marketing label — the one question that reveals everything. The 7 concussion profiles every competent clinic should be able to screen for (and why that matters for recovery). Which questions to ask reception and your therapist so you don't get handed a hot pack and sent home. The difference between managing POTS symptoms and treating underlying drivers (plus what Seira's case teaches us about integrated care). Need a quick checklist?
