Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right in your concussion recovery—and still not making progress?
You’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not alone. One of the biggest mistakes people make after a concussion is focusing only on symptoms, without addressing the actual root causes—especially when it comes to how the brain and nervous system are functioning underneath the surface.
In today’s episode of the Concussion Nerds Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. David Hardy, a chiropractor and functional neurologist with a passion for helping people come back to life—literally—after brain injury. From stories of patients who couldn’t walk across a room to those who graduated from walkers to high heels (yes, really!), this episode is a heart-opening look at what’s actually possible when we approach concussion recovery from a truly neurological perspective.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
Why so many concussion symptoms linger for years—and how functional neurology can break that cycle
What it means when you look “fine on paper” but still feel totally off
How the nervous system influences healing, emotions, and recovery (and why rehab must address all three)
The surprising impact of intensive care programs—and the real reason they work when nothing else does
If you've been struggling to find answers, hope, or lasting results on your post-concussion journey… this one’s for you.
