Start with what life feels like now
Why is daily life still difficult after a concussion?
We help people with symptoms that persist after an injury by examining what is limiting daily function so that they can work toward reading, moving and returning to valued activities.
How we look at the whole picture
The injury happened weeks or months ago, but screens, busy rooms or a normal workday still leave you feeling worse.
You are trying to return to your life without repeatedly pushing past what you can manage.
You do not need to know which treatment to ask for. Start with what has changed and what you want to be able to do again.
In their own words
We understand your experience of Brain Injury & Concussion
People often describe it in their own words long before anyone gives it a name. If one of these sounds like you, you are in the right place.
“I haven’t been the same since my concussion or accident.”
“My headaches, brain fog, dizziness, and sleep problems have lasted months.”
“I was told to rest but the symptoms haven’t cleared.”
“My brain MRI is normal but I clearly don’t feel right.”
Illustrative experiences, in the words people commonly use. The portraits are AI-generated and do not show patients.
The 7 Domains of Recovery™
Your symptoms may belong in the same conversation.
After an injury, vision, balance, neck function, energy and stress responses may all matter. The seven domains help us consider those interactions in the same evaluation.
Neuregen's proprietary 7 Domains of Recovery framework organizes that conversation around seven connected parts of your life and health. We consider all seven, then focus the evaluation on the questions your history raises.
Explore our clinical framework- 1Brain function & neural networks
What has changed in your memory, concentration, balance or sensory tolerance?
- 2Autonomic & nervous system regulation
What happens when you stand, move, rest or encounter stress?
- 3Immune function & neuroinflammation
What immune history, reactions or symptoms need a closer look?
- 4Brain energy & metabolic health
What affects your energy through the day and after activity?
- 5Structure, stability & body-to-brain signals
How do pain, posture, movement and stability affect what you can do?
- 6Psychological flexibility & behavioral recovery
How are mood, stress and patterns of coping affecting your day?
- 7Life, relationships & environment
What demands, relationships and support shape your recovery?
A plan starts with the things you want to do again.
We review the injury, previous care and the activities that trigger symptoms. Examination and selected functional assessments help establish a starting point and a manageable pace.
01
Tell us what you want your life to look like
We start with what has changed, what you have tried, and the activities you most want to return to.
02
Answer the questions the history leaves open
We review prior reports and select relevant assessments. You should understand what each assessment is meant to clarify.
03
Agree on the priorities and the first steps
We discuss the findings, possible approaches, costs and practical constraints. The plan sets an order that fits your situation.
04
Check what changes and adjust together
We compare your response with the starting point, including daily function. If something is not helping, we discuss what needs to change.
Only then do we discuss which therapies, if any, belong in your plan. The choice depends on the findings, the evidence, your preferences and how you respond.

Brain Injury & Concussion
Persistent concussion symptoms deserve more than time and rest
Conceptual artwork for the care discussion. Individual findings and treatment options require clinical evaluation.
What is happening in your nervous system
Brain injury — from concussion to more significant TBI — disrupts neural network function (Domain 1), autonomic regulation (Domain 2), brain energy metabolism (Domain 4), and structural body-to-brain signals (Domain 5) simultaneously. Domain 1 is often the primary story: the injury disrupts network connectivity and processing speed in ways that don’t show up on standard MRI but are real and measurable. Domain 2 involvement explains why many post-concussion patients develop orthostatic intolerance and exertional sensitivity — the autonomic nervous system’s calibration is disrupted. Domain 4 impairment produces the metabolic energy crisis underlying fatigue and cognitive difficulties. Domain 5 matters when cervical or structural factors — including upper cervical instability or vestibular-oculomotor dysfunction — sustain symptoms long after the primary injury.
Domains most involved:
Every plan starts from the same map: the 7 Domains of Recovery.
How it fits your plan
Evaluation across all four domains identifies the specific pattern of your presentation — whether the dominant barriers are neural, autonomic, metabolic, or structural — and rehabilitation is sequenced accordingly. Vestibular-oculomotor rehabilitation, cognitive rehabilitation, and graded exertional return-to-activity are the foundation. Autonomic and structural interventions are added where the clinical picture supports them. Advanced tools are reserved for presentations that do not respond adequately to the rehabilitative foundation. We default to the simplest, lowest-risk intervention that can move a domain forward — and escalate to more advanced or interventional care only when the evidence and the patient’s course support it.
We review your history, explain the findings, agree on next steps and check how you respond.
Potential Therapies
We use established medicine where it works, and emerging medicine where it makes sense.
These are options to discuss after evaluation, not a predetermined treatment plan. Each label refers to the condition or indication described beside that therapy; evidence can differ for another use. An evidence label does not mean FDA approval.
- Vestibular & Oculomotor RehabilitationEvidence: Established
Addresses Domain 1 and Domain 5 sensorimotor dysfunction after concussion.
- Cognitive RehabilitationEvidence: Established
Rebuilding processing speed and network efficiency in Domain 1.
- Graded Exertional RehabilitationEvidence: Established
Paced return to activity guided by autonomic and metabolic response.
- Autonomic RegulationEvidence: Established
Addressing Domain 2 when post-concussion autonomic dysregulation is prominent.
- Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB)Evidence: Preliminary
Where sustained sympathetic overactivity is a significant factor in the persistent symptom picture.
Where the evidence stands
Evidence varies by therapy and by condition. Each therapy on this page carries its own evidence label for this condition, from established to investigational.

See Dr. George’s full credentialsFrequently asked questions
Why do concussion symptoms persist for months or years?
Persistent post-concussion syndrome often reflects multiple overlapping barriers: disrupted neural network function, autonomic instability, metabolic energy impairment, and sometimes structural factors. Rest alone does not address these; targeted rehabilitation across the domains most involved is needed.
My MRI is normal. Does that mean I don’t have a real brain injury?
Standard MRI does not detect the network-level dysfunction that drives post-concussion symptoms. The real clinical story — disrupted connectivity, altered processing speed, autonomic dysregulation — is not visible on standard imaging but is assessable through clinical evaluation.
What role does the autonomic nervous system play in concussion recovery?
Concussion disrupts autonomic calibration, producing orthostatic intolerance, exertional sensitivity, and sleep disruption that compound the cognitive picture. Domain 2 intervention is often a key part of concussion rehabilitation, not a secondary concern.
How is Neuregen’s approach different from a sports medicine concussion program?
Neuregen evaluates concussion across all seven domains — including immune, metabolic, and psychological factors that most sports medicine programs do not routinely assess. The result is a more complete picture of what is sustaining symptoms.
