Concussions & Football
Athletes who return to play without allowing their brain to heal first may be setting themselves up for serious long-term consequences…
We understand the passion and dedication football players have for the game. We’re equally passionate about helping athletes who suffer from the effects of a concussion.
Every concussion is unique and and so are we. We prioritize your overall well-being and your return to play, using evidence-based protocols to guide your recovery every step of the way.
Moore MyoWorx is Denver’s beacon of hope in concussion treatment and we’ve welcomed football players from all over the country, providing a dedicated and successful treatment course where traditional methods have seen little effect. Consider these stats:
5% of football players ages 5-14 will suffer a concussion every season.
A weaker neck has a higher correlation to getting a concussion and for every one pound increase in neck strength, odds of concussion decreased by 5%.
About 20% of all high school football players experience brain trauma every football season and that football is responsible for more than 60% of concussions in high school sports.
Most football players get “pre-screened” by a health professional prior to the season. However, this process does not normally include neck stability, flexibility, or strength or cognitive baseline test such as the Creyos test.
Concussion Success Stories
“If someone is suffering from PCS, I cannot encourage them enough to come to Moore MyoWorx. The first day I walked in, I could barely talk, I was incoherent, I was in so much pain. Now, I am more coherent, really doing great, and almost completely symptom-free.”
“My son experienced post-concussion symptoms for 5 months. The PCP was less than helpful. Local children’s-focused hospital was only helpful for the psychology portion. Moore Myoworx was recommended by one of his teachers. They are thoughtful, thorough, helpful! He is already so much better!”
Effective Concussion Treatment: Get Back to Being You!
Our concussion treatment is the only approach that alleviates all four categories of concussion symptoms: Cognitive, Physical, Emotional and Sleep.
The "Return to Play" guidelines do not guarantee that your player is "healed" and ready for competition.
Here’s why our treatment approach is different:
We include cognitive, vision, balance, strength and ROM testing
We focus on a high frequency, short duration treatment protocol that gets quicker results
Our treatment hands the power back to the individual and treatment team (including athletic trainers and your primary care provider)
We prepares athletes to return to the field but also be more resilient in the future.
Our approach is evidence-based and has enabled 89% of our clients to reclaim their lives from the shadows of concussion including the following symptoms:
Headaches and migraines
Dizziness and balance problems
Fatigue that isn’t alleviated by rest
Difficulty with memory and concentration
Insomnia and other sleep disturbances
Increased sensitivity to light and noise
Blurred or double vision
Irritability and mood swings
Anxiety and depression
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
Changes in taste and smell
Slowed cognitive processing
