About Nate Pope:
Key Takeaways:
Post-concussion syndrome affects 20-30% of concussion cases, with lingering symptoms like headaches, brain fog, and anxiety.
Standard MRIs often fail to detect PCS, but functional MRIs can reveal blood flow imbalances in the brain.
Intensive, integrative therapy—engaging multiple brain systems simultaneously over many hours—can help rewire the brain and restore balance.
Outdoor activities on uneven terrain, combined with social interaction, are excellent for ongoing brain health.
NCX Brain Recovery offers free consultations to assess potential PCS and guide individuals toward recovery.
