Episode 36: Diagnosis and Rehabilitation for a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with Dr. Perry Maynard
Discover the intricate dance of the brain within our skulls and the surprising ways concussions can occur without a direct blow to the head. My guest today is Dr. Perry Maynard, a seasoned board-certified chiropractic neurologist specializing in managing complex neurological cases, including post-concussive syndrome, vertigo, balance disorders, and movement disorders. He works with Dr. Shane Stedman, who I interviewed in Episode 12 in their Colorado clinic called, Integrated Health Systems.  Dr. Maynard and I explore the perplexing world of concussions, dizziness, and the need for subclassifying concussions to better craft recovery strategies tailored to each individual's unique symptoms, ranging from headaches and mood disturbances to light and sound sensitivity. We share insights into how athletes navigate recovery, often battling maladaptive compensations that can lead to longer-term issues. Our conversation doesn't stop at identifying problems; we're here to offer solutions and proactive steps for managing concussion symptoms. Shattering myths of outdated recovery practices, we emphasize the importance of proper diet, supplements, rest, and medical assessment following a concussion. Dr. Maynard and I also cover innovative rehabilitation techniques, including the role of neck strength and visual therapy in both prevention and treatment, underscoring the power of a multifaceted approach to healing the brain.  Join us on a journey through the complexities of concussions, and learn about the cutting-edge treatments and preventative measures in this enlightening episode.

Prepare to be enlightened as we journey with Dr. Lara May through the transformative world of functional medicine.
