Post-concussion syndrome is one of the most clinically demanding presentations in modern healthcare. With thirty competing definitions in the literature, no universally accepted care pathway, and a patient population that often cycles through providers without resolution, the gap between what the neuroscience shows is possible and what most clinicians are equipped to deliver has never been more visible. This course closes that gap. Covering post-concussion rehabilitation, persistent post-concussion symptoms, functional neurology, visual vestibular training, and multimodal concussion management, this one-credit hour course gives licensed clinicians the conceptual depth and applied framework to meet these patients where they are.

‍

The course is built around a landmark randomized controlled crossover trial conducted in Denmark by Drs. Matthew Antonucci and Kenneth Jay, the first RCT of its kind within functional neurology. Participants with chronic persistent post-concussion syndrome averaging symptom severity scores near forty on a sixty-four point scale achieved a forty-two percent reduction in symptom burden following a structured multimodal protocol combining targeted visual exercises, vestibular training, and aerobic exercise calibrated to individual capacity. Ninety percent of those gains were retained at three-month follow-up. These are not theoretical outcomes. They are measured, published, and clinically meaningful. Clinicians gain a working model of how concussion reorganizes global brain connectivity, how neural network efficiency predicts recovery trajectories, and how to structure individualized interventions across six key domains: vestibulo-ocular reflex training, eye mechanics, gait stability, spatial orientation, neck function, and sensory integration.

This course is designed for chiropractors, chiropractic neurologists, and other licensed clinicians who regularly encounter post-concussion presentations and want a structured, evidence-grounded approach that integrates seamlessly into practice. It is equally relevant for clinicians building interprofessional concussion programs or seeking to add functional neurology depth to existing rehabilitation protocols.

Dr. Matthew Antonucci, DC DACNB, is a board-certified chiropractic neurologist with decades of clinical and research experience in traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. He has co-authored foundational research in head-eye-vestibular motion and multimodal concussion outcomes and serves as a leading voice in functional neurology. Dr. Kenneth Jay, PhD, is a faculty member at the Carrick Institute and head of research at Cervelo, a specialized brain injury rehabilitation clinic in Denmark. Dr. Jay holds over fifty peer-reviewed publications spanning concussion, biomechanics, biopsychosocial health, and performance science. Together they represent an exceptional synthesis of neurological rigor and real-world rehabilitation design. Their collaboration produced the most rigorous RCT yet conducted within functional neurology, and this course delivers that knowledge directly to clinical practice.
