Post-Concussion Syndrome & Medications for Mental Health
Concussions may be the hardest form of traumatic brain injury to treat due to the convoluted nature of long-term symptoms and how those symptoms can be misdiagnosed or even undiagnosed.
Published peer-reviewed research shows that Cognitive FX treatment leads to meaningful symptom reduction in post-concussion symptoms for 77% of study participants. Cognitive FX is the only PCS clinic with third-party validated treatment outcomes.

I didn’t realize how important brain injury prevention was until my husband was injured in football. His concussions could have been prevented if he would have taken the necessary precautions to be safe.
According to the University of Pittsburgh’s Brain Trauma Research Center, there are over 300,000 sports-related concussions just in high schoolers every year in the United states.
