DR. JEFF BOLTON
D.C., BSc, BPHE
Dr. Bolton takes a holistic approach to health care and addresses not only the symptoms but the root of the problem. He effectively treats neck and back pain and has a special interest in athletic injuries. He uses evidence based chiropractic techniques including rehab, soft tissue treatments, acupuncture, and state of the art modalities to reduce pain, improve function and maximize performance.
In conjunction with CCMI, we offer concussion treatment services & strategies including:
· Exertional testing for return-to-sport readiness and sub-symptom threshold exercise programs for persistent symptoms
· Vestibular, oculomotor, and cervical spine rehabilitation
· Balance, reaction time, visual processing, and neurocognitive testing (pre-season baseline and/or post-injury/return to sport testing)
· Educational resources
During the early stage following injury, a period of relative symptom limited physical and cognitive rest is recommended. Research suggests 24 to 48 hours, however, these decisions are made on a case-by-case basis.
Following a short period of rest, the International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport (2016) recommends a gradual increase in mental and physical activity by a licensed healthcare practitioner trained in concussion management.
