Concussion and Post-Concussion Syndrome
Holistic Concussion and Post-Concussion Care in Pittsburgh, PA
At NutriFarmacy, Dr. Hunter Hoeper offers root-cause holistic care for concussion and post-concussion syndrome in Pittsburgh. After a head injury, many people are told their imaging is normal but symptoms linger — brain fog, fatigue, headaches, mood changes, light/sound sensitivity, balance issues. These persist because the nervous system, brainstem, vagus nerve, and inflammatory pathways are dysregulated. Dr. Hoeper combines Network Spinal, Quantum Neurology, Applied Kinesiology, and clinical nutrition to support neurological recovery.
Why Recovery Sometimes Stalls
Standard concussion care usually involves rest, then gradual return to activity. For many, this is enough. For those with persistent symptoms (post-concussion syndrome), more is needed — specific work to restore brainstem function, vagal tone, and the nervous system’s ability to integrate sensory input.
Network Spinal and Quantum Neurology
Network Spinal addresses the nervous system patterns that develop after head injury. Quantum Neurology specifically supports neurological function and is particularly valuable for post-concussion patients.
Applied Kinesiology and Clinical Nutrition
Applied Kinesiology lets Dr. Hoeper assess specific neurological involvement, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory burden. Clinical nutrition supports brain repair — omega-3s, antioxidants, mitochondrial cofactors.
What Patients Typically Bring In
Common patterns: persistent brain fog after concussion, fatigue, headaches, light or sound sensitivity, mood changes, dizziness, sports-related concussions, motor vehicle accidents, and patients told their scans are clear but they still do not feel right.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a concussion can I come in? Once you have been medically cleared. Earlier intervention often produces better outcomes.
What if my concussion was years ago? Recovery work is still possible — the nervous system retains capacity to repattern.
Do I need imaging? If you have not had a medical evaluation, see a physician first to rule out anything that requires emergency care.
