Episode 6 Dr. Charles Simkovich
In this episode, Dr. Charles Simkovich joins the show.
Dr. Charles A. Simkovich was born and raised in Belle Vernon, PA. Coming from family with multiple disciplines in the medical field, Dr. Simkovich was interested in medicine and health care. Following H.S./College he was accepted to Palmer College of Chiropractic, graduating 1984. He went into practice 1985, and moved to his present Wexford,PA, private practice 1986. Always interested in advancing his skills as a physician, Dr. Simkovich became involved in research of cranial bone movement and effect on brain function. This landmark research was the beginning of Cranial Movement Therapy(CMT). The foundation of his approach was influenced by work of Dr. Carl Ferreri and Dr. James Cyriax, father of orthopaedic medicine.
Dr. Simkovich’s practice became specialized with CMT, with success in resolving various brain diagnoses, T.B.I. and concussions. Additionally, his experience led to a patented screening test for brain function and concussions “B.E.S.T.” (Baseline Evaluation and Screening Test) evaluating neurocognitive function.
The doctor served as physician for Gargaro Productions, Pittsburgh Musical Theater, Olympic Wrestling Trials, and Duquesne University men’s basketball team.
He was contributing writer for publications including “Pittsburgh SportsReport,” “Pittsburgh LegalJournal” et al. Spoke at numerous conventions/lectures, naming a few, the NFLAA, Pittsburgh Hospital Consortium, Autism Expo, Univ of Texas Football Program. Featured in “Pittsburgh Magazine,” “Pittsburgh Press, et al. Interviewed on radio/TV for groundbreaking work, including Channel 4 News, WTAE TV, ESPNRadio, Channel 11 TV. Featured on sports talk BWSports1SportsTalk, HustletownSportsHouston, RudyReyes#Concussion#CTE, “OneDoctorMayHavetheCure to BillionDollar NFL Headache” Elitesportsny.com.
His areas of interest are physiology of cranial bone movement and effect on brain function, T.B.I. symptomatology, investigation of additional deficits caused from concussion outside of classic symptoms, e.g., organic problems caused by pituitary assault, neuromechanical and neurocognitive function, etiology and diagnosis.
Interests outside of professional and academic endeavors include physical fitness, chess, golf, tennis, and travel with his wife. He and his wife have five children and reside in Pittsburgh, PA.
After years of clinical success, we are greatly honored to be published in the most cited journal of rehabilitation research, ACRM (American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine), and to be in the stages of clinical trials that will produce evidence for the effectiveness of CMT-Simkovich Approach in the management of patients with post TBI symptoms.
