The Initial Injury—and Why It Matters
A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a blow or jolt to the head. It temporarily disrupts normal brain function and often leads to symptoms like:

WHEN SYMPTOMS DON'T GO AWAY
Understanding Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)
If symptoms last longer than 4 weeks, you may be dealing with PCS—a more complex condition that can affect mood, memory, focus, and daily function. PCS can show up as:
• Trouble focusing or thinking clearly
• Sensitivity to light or noise
• Sleep issues
• Personality or mood changes
• PERSISTENT HEADACHES
• Sensitvity to light or
noise
• Sleep Issues
• Persistent Headaches
• Personality or mood
changes
Every brain responds differently, and healing isn’t always linear. PCS isn’t "in your head"—it’s a neurological issue, and we treat it as such.

WHAT CARE LOOKS LIKE AT LIFESTREAM BRAIN + BODY










I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Sam O'Tool and the entire team for the exceptional care I received throughout my concussion recovery. From the moment I stepped into your clinic, I was greeted with such warmth and care that I felt supported every step of the way. I can't express how much that meant to me.
When I first came to you, I was overwhelmed by severe symptoms. I was dealing with debilitating migraines, sensitivity to noise and light, and my cognitive function was deeply affected—I often struggled with memory and balance, leaving me feeling lost and unlike myself.
A referral led me to you, and I’m so grateful they did. Your holistic approach—incorporating adjustments, laser therapy, targeted exercises, and balance training—has truly been life-changing. Thanks to your dedication and expertise, I’ve regained my normal life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for me.
