Treatments and Self-Care
Concussion Alliance
Concussion recovery begins with education; we’re here to ensure patients and providers know what to do next.
A concussion is a rehabilitative injury, and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment is considered best practice. Below are resources that explain each medical or rehabilitative treatment recommended by current internationally recognized guidelines. We also have resources on complementary and alternative treatments, which are relatively inexpensive and accessible. A Find Providers resource helps patients locate accredited providers for each specialty. Our self-care resource addresses things patients can do to help themselves.
