PinPoint Health and its network of clinics around the Greater Toronto Area are offering evidence-based concussion care. From initial pre-season multimodal baseline testing to concussion treatment and rehabilitation, our practitioners collaborate with primary care physicians, coaches and trainers to co-manage concussions, helping patients and athletes safely Return to Learn, Work and Play.
A concussion is a brain injury caused by acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull following a significant impact to the head or elsewhere on the body. The impact causes a biochemical imbalance within the brain cells, resulting in decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within the brain. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, headache, pressure in the head, neck pain, nausea or vomiting, dizziness, or balance problems, among others.
Multimodal baseline testing is a series of physical and cognitive tests that provide a pre-injury overview of healthy brain function, which offers healthcare practitioners with an objective benchmark on which to compare should a patient sustain a concussion. Valuable baseline information is essential in order to make a safe return to play decisions, as symptoms often disappear days to weeks prior to the brain recovering.
