Dr. Darcy Dane explains that concussions don't always involve hitting one's head, as whiplash can also cause traumatic brain injury through rapid forward and backward motion.Airbag deployment can also cause concussive force, even if the head doesn't hit anything, highlighting the complexity of head injuries in car accidents.00:02:10 Concussion symptoms and reaction time testing. Thomas describes his personal experience with a concussion, including symptoms such as disorientation, emotional lability, light sensitivity, and sleep disturbances.Dr. Darcy Dane explains the metabolic cascade of concussion, including the brain's inability to get glucose and the resulting energy crisis, as well as cognitive symptoms such as memory problems and word blocking.Dr. Dane also discusses the role of reaction time in concussion, noting that slow reaction times can make individuals more susceptible to injury due to their inability to get out of the way of an impending collision.Dr. Darcy Dane explains the importance of reaction time and brain processing speed in athletes, citing Christian McCaffrey as an example.00:07:42 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and ketones for brain injury recovery. Dr. Dane explains the importance of reaction time in sports and how it's affected by metabolics and training.Thomas adds that reaction time recovery can take longer than expected, and it's related to brain function and metabolism.Dr. Dane and Thomas discuss how ocular motor systems are also affected by visual tasks and can lead to eyestrain and headaches.Dr. Dane explains the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen ketone therapy, including increased oxygen delivery to tissues and reduced symptoms.00:13:44 Hyperbaric therapy and ketone therapy for concussion recovery. Dr. Dane discovers exogenous ketones prevent seizures in hyperbaric therapy for concussions.Dr. Dane discusses using hyperbaric therapy and lasers for concussion recovery, citing their energy-boosting and anti-inflammatory effects.The clinic is working with the VA on studies using lasers for brain health, with promising results.00:18:11 The differences between medical-grade and consumer-grade treatments for brain injuries and concussions. Dr. Dane and Thomas discuss the differences between medical-grade treatments and consumer-grade alternatives.They highlight the importance of proper training and licensing for medical providers to ensure safe and effective treatment.00:20:43 Chiropractic care and assessment methods.Dr. Dane emphasizes the importance of documentation and data-driven approach in chiropractic care, explaining the two-hour initial exam process, including video testing and EMT assessment.Dr. Dane assesses patients' brain function through various tests, including computerized posturography and right eye testing.Dane observes patients' performance in tasks such as pinning their brain to a certain rhythm and integrating left and right sides of their body.00:25:54 Neurological exams and treatments for athletes and non-athletes. Dr. Dane emphasizes the importance of functional testing to understand a patient's cognitive and physical symptoms.Dr. Dane discusses the limitations of the Glasgow Coma Scale in assessing traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion, particularly in the context of emergency medical services (EMS) and the ER.Dr. Dane also addresses the question of how to optimize athletic performance, citing examples of professional athletes who have used her services to improve their cognitive function and overall well-being.00:30:18 Brain health, concussions, and optimization.Dr. Dane emphasizes the importance of brain health and optimization, particularly in the 20s and 30s when the brain is developing rapidly.He encourages listeners to take proactive steps to maintain their brain health, such as baseline testing and engaging in physical exercise.Dr. Dane discusses brain health and concussions with Thomas. She shares insights on educating patients and the importance of research.
