Comprehensive Concussion Recovery Program | SPPC Concussion Care
Finally, a Concussion Recovery Program That Actually Works
Got a Concussion and Feeling Stuck?
Maybe it’s been days—or even weeks—and the headaches won’t quit.
The brain fog is making it hard to think straight.
Or your kid just isn’t themselves after their last game.
Here’s the deal: You’ve probably heard, “Just rest and give it time.”
But time isn’t always enough.
At Spine Pain & Performance Center (SPPC), we do things differently.
Our Concussion Recovery Program is built for one goal: to get you—or your athlete—fully recovered, stronger, and back to life without risking long-term damage.
We combine advanced diagnostics, cutting-edge treatments, functional medicine to treat what’s actually causing your symptoms, not just masking them.
Why Most Concussion Recovery Programs Fall Short
The biggest issue? They don’t address all the layers of recovery.
Traditional advice looks like this:
Rest in a dark room.
Wait until your symptoms go away.
Hope for the best.
But concussions are way more complex than that.
They affect 5 core systems in your body:
Brain Energy Levels – Your brain burns through energy after a concussion but struggles to replenish it.
Autonomic Nervous System – Fight or flight mode stays turned on.
Inflammation & Gut Health – Concussions can mess up your gut and cause chronic inflammation.
Vision & Vestibular System – Balance, dizziness, and eye tracking issues are common but often ignored.
Neck Injuries – A concussion almost always means a neck injury too.
If you’re only treating the symptoms on the surface, you’re leaving all these systems out of the picture.
That’s where Dr. Ginsberg and Dr. Bletzinger step in.
What Makes SPPC’s Concussion Recovery Program Different?
We’re not here to “wait and see.”
We’re here to fix the root causes of your symptoms.
Here’s how:
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
On Day 1, we dive deep into everything that’s going on—your symptoms, your medical history, and how your body’s systems are functioning.
This isn’t just a quick checklist.
We assess:
Brain energy levels (ATP function).
Autonomic function (heart rate, breathing, and blood flow to your brain).
Vision and balance.
Gut health and inflammation markers.
Neck function (even if it doesn’t feel injured).
Our team gets to the bottom of what’s driving your symptoms, so we can create a personalized recovery game plan.
2. Cutting-Edge Laser Therapy
Here’s the game-changer: Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).
Think of it like charging up your brain’s energy batteries.
After a concussion, your brain is in an energy crisis—it’s burning way more energy than it can produce.
Laser therapy stimulates your cells to:
Boost energy (ATP) production.
Reduce inflammation.
Repair damaged tissues.
It’s non-invasive, FDA-cleared, and backed by science.
For acute concussions, it helps you heal faster.
For persistent concussion symptoms (Post-Concussion Syndrome), it gives your brain the kickstart it needs to recover.

3. Sub-Symptom Exercise Protocol
Exercise? After a concussion?
Yup.
It’s all about controlled exertion.
We use the Buffalo Treadmill Test to find the exact heart rate where your symptoms start to flare up.
Then, we create a custom exercise plan to help you rebuild your brain’s tolerance to activity—without pushing too hard.
This is key for resetting your autonomic nervous system and getting back to daily life (and sports) without setbacks.

4. Functional Medicine for Recovery
Your gut and brain are connected.
Concussions disrupt this connection, causing:
Chronic inflammation.
Hormone imbalances.
Sleep issues.
We use functional medicine to target these problems with:
Anti-inflammatory nutrition plans.
Supplements for brain recovery.
Hormonal support if needed.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s completely customized to you.
Why This Program Works
It’s simple: We treat you as a whole person.
Instead of just waiting for symptoms to fade, we work on restoring how your brain, gut, nervous system, and body work together.
That’s why our program gets results like:
Faster recovery times.
Less risk of post-concussion syndrome.
A safer return to sports, work, and daily life.
