The Missing Step in Concussion Recovery: Nervous System Testing

What if “feeling fine” isn’t the same as being truly ready to return to sport, or even school, after a concussion? In this episode, Dr. Patrick Porter sits down with Dr. Ted Arkfeld to discuss how objective nervous system measurements may add clarity to performance, recovery, and readiness. They explore how tools like NeuralChek, which Dr. Arkfeld actively uses as part of his evaluation protocol, can support a more complete view of movement, balance, and autonomic regulation, especially when athletes (or patients) may underreport symptoms. The conversation also touches on how BrainTap is incorporated as part of his recovery approach, supporting relaxation, sleep, and nervous system regulation alongside active care. 💬 Share your thoughts: Should baseline nervous system screening be a standard part of sports, recovery, and aging well? _____________________ About Dr. Ted Arkfeld: _____________________ Ted A.

Thank you for watching: The Missing Step in Concussion Recovery: Nervous System Testing This conversation covers concussion readiness, return-to-play decision support, autonomic nervous system balance (sympathetic vs parasympathetic), cervical spine proprioception, movement analysis, and recovery routines that may support sleep, stress resilience, and performance. The focus is educational and centered on measurement, training, and nervous system “readiness,” not on promising outcomes. #braintap #brainfitness #mindfullness
