Concussion Management at SWAT Health: Comprehensive Concussion Care in the GTA
At SWAT Health, we specialize in concussion management with a patient-centered approach to rehabilitation. Our clinics have practioners with backgrounds from industry-leading programs like SHIFT Concussion Management and Complete Concussion Management™, offering evidence-based care for individuals recovering from concussions or post-concussion syndrome.
What is a Concussion?
A concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that occurs after a blow to the head or body, causing a disruption in brain function. Symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, nausea, balance issues, and difficulty concentrating. Untreated concussions can lead to prolonged recovery and increase the risk of developing post-concussion syndrome (PCS).
Symptoms of a Concussion:
- Headaches or pressure in the head
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Dizziness or balance problems
- Nausea or vomiting
- Memory or concentration issues
- Fatigue or drowsiness
- Sleep disturbances
Our Concussion Management Programs
SWAT Health follows the latest research and clinical protocols from Complete Concussion Management™ and SHIFT Concussion Management. These programs allow us to deliver a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on accurate diagnosis, active rehabilitation, and safe return to activity.
1.
Concussion Baseline Testing
We offer baseline testing to assess cognitive and physical performance before an injury occurs. This test provides a pre-injury snapshot, which can be used for comparison if a concussion is suspected. This helps with more accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plans.
2.
Comprehensive Concussion Assessments
Following a concussion, our certified practitioners will perform a thorough concussion assessment, including neurocognitive testing, balance and coordination evaluations, and symptom monitoring. This allows us to create tailored treatment strategies to ensure a complete recovery.
3.
Active Rehabilitation & Recovery
Research shows that active rehabilitation is key to managing concussions. We integrate exercise therapy, manual therapy, and vestibular rehabilitation to promote neurological recovery. Our team includes chiropractors, physiotherapists, and neurological experts trained in concussion care.
4.
Return to Play Protocols
We follow strict return-to-play protocols, ensuring patients return to sports or regular activities safely. Our step-by-step process adheres to guidelines from both Complete Concussion Management and SHIFT Concussion Management, providing the highest level of safety for athletes.
5.
Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) Treatment
For individuals experiencing prolonged symptoms, we offer specialized care for post-concussion syndrome. Our program focuses on symptom management, including headache relief, cognitive function, and emotional support, to ensure a gradual return to normal activities.
At SWAT Health, we’re committed to your complete recovery and because when it comes to concussions, proper management is key to optimal healing.

EXCELLENT Based on 145 reviews Al DiCroce2024-10-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jason is the best I’ve ever seen at his profession!!! Debbie2024-08-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Physiotherapy with Laura McCabe is literally "like magic". I have bulged discs and a torn disc in my lower back and limited lumbar movement, as well as right hip pain (bursitis and arthritis). Each and every time I visit Laura, she performs her magic and I leave without pain. She is the only physiotherapist I have seen over the last 25 years who has been able to easily spot and address issues in my back and hip. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a physiotherapist! roger capannelli2024-08-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment you walk in and you are greeted at the front desk. This place is simply the best in the business. Everyone is friendly, extremely knowledgeable and professional. I frequently see Laura, Dr. Sarah and Yesinia, because of them my quality of life has changed for the better. Highly recommend SWAT Greg M2024-04-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing trainers Liz Battaglia2024-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chiropractor, Dr. Sarah, is the absolute best! She knows her stuff…every time my son incurs a sports injury, she gets him up and running in no time. She gives him exercises that actually help and adds other supplemental aids such as acupuncture. We trust her completely! Thanks for healing my kiddo again and again! Lise LaRoche2024-03-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the staff. They are so friendly and knowledgeable. The sense of community and personal touches keep me coming back year after year. lyn brown2024-01-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All SWAT treatments are exceptional but the RMT (Yesinia) is even beyond that. Caring, smart and oh-so intuitive when it comes to hunting down and vanquishing sore spots and aches. There is noone better.
