About the course
Up to half of all concussions go undiagnosed, and many patients still struggle with headaches, brain fog, dizziness or anxiety a year later. This course shows you how to recognise the hidden brain injury behind these symptoms with functional neurological testing, and how to translate those findings into targeted acupuncture, herbal and nutritional strategies.
Day 1 covers neuroanatomy and hands-on neurological testing, day 2 balance and sensory integration, including the hidden whiplash injury, and day 3 clinical integration with the acupuncture and herbal protocols from Dr. Wolf’s book The Concussion Breakthrough.
