Success Stories

Concussion, Brain Fog, Neck Injury – ON, Canada

When I first became a patient of Meditech, I was two months into recovering from a serious sports concussion (March 2018). Due to my whiplash incident, my neck was very stiff, reducing circulation to my brain, resulting in intense fatigue and brain fog (along with other symptoms such as high sensitivity to light/noise). I went from enjoying sports and vigorous exercise at least an hour a day to not being able to get out of bed, which was quite demoralizing.

The moment I entered the Meditech clinic I felt like this is a place I could recover from my symptoms. All of the staff were helpful and friendly; under Dr. Kahn’s leadership and experience, the staff knew exactly where to place the laser therapy machines on my head and neck, along with knowing what specific settings to use (which change almost every session depending on your progress).

I went to Meditech for 10 weeks 2 or 3 times a week for an hour session at a time. Each week I could feel significant improvements as the therapists directly increased circulation in parts of my brain that needed it most. After some sessions, I felt so good I would go for a run or long walk almost immediately (although this may not be recommended). Attending these sessions was the turning point in my recovery as it enabled me to return to a moderate exercise program, which in turn further increased my physical and mental health.

After my injury at the beginning of the year, I naturally was exposed to multiple stories of other people who experienced concussions, and unfortunately not many of them were uplifting as many of those people were still struggling with their symptoms. I hope this testimonial can encourage others to use Meditech as a core part of their post-concussion recovery, since the side effects are minimal (mild temporary neck tightness, if any) and the benefits are potentially significant if one attends the sessions regularly. The sessions should be covered by work benefits; Meditech is quite helpful in administering this to ensure patients can afford the treatments.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Meditech for helping me through this critical injury. I hope and expect Meditech will help countless other patients who have suffered from a concussion.

Sincerely,

Nolan
