Neuro evaluation after concussion or brain injury

A concussion or other brain injury can leave you with symptoms that are confusing, frustrating, and sometimes hard to explain. A structured neuro evaluation helps identify what is driving those symptoms so you can move forward with a clear plan.

At All Things Neuro, neuro evaluations for concussion and brain injury combine a detailed history, objective testing when appropriate, and multidisciplinary input to build an evidence-informed picture of how the injury is affecting you day to day.

Who may benefit from a neuro evaluation

You may benefit from a neuro evaluation if you:

• Recently experienced a concussion or suspected brain injury
• Have ongoing headaches, dizziness, balance problems, or visual changes
• Notice trouble concentrating, remembering details, or keeping up at work or school
• Feel more irritable, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed than before your injury
• Have been told “everything looks normal” on initial imaging but still do not feel like yourself
• Are navigating medical, work, school, or legal decisions and need clearer documentation of your symptoms
  

Neuro evaluations at All Things Neuro can support patients and families directly and can also provide structured information for employers, schools, and—when appropriate—attorneys and other professionals involved in your care.

What to expect at a neuro evaluation with All Things Neuro

Every visit starts with listening. Your clinician will take a detailed history of the injury event, your symptoms, medical background, and any treatments you have already tried.

When appropriate, an evaluation may include:

• Symptom questionnaires and structured interviews
• Objective cognitive or neuropsychological testing
• Balance, coordination, or vestibular screening
• Vision and oculomotor checks
• Review of prior imaging and relevant medical records
• Collaboration with other specialists within the All Things Neuro network
  

The goal of the neuro evaluation is not just to document that you were injured—it is to understand how the injury is affecting your thinking, mood, and daily function so that next steps can be planned thoughtfully.

How neuro evaluation informs your care plan

Findings from a comprehensive neuro evaluation can help:

• Clarify which symptoms are likely related to concussion or brain injury
• Identify areas where additional testing, therapy, or medical follow-up may be helpful
• Guide referrals for services such as psychology, vestibular rehab, or neuro rehab treatment
• Support return-to-work, return-to-school, or activity planning
• Provide structured documentation that can be shared with your broader care team
  

When indicated, your team may recommend further objective concussion diagnostic testing or additional specialty evaluations. A carefully documented evaluation helps keep your care coordinated, especially when multiple providers are involved.

Neuro evaluation in Georgia and Ohio

All Things Neuro provides neuro evaluations in clinic locations across Georgia and Ohio, with a focus on making high-quality concussion and brain injury care accessible close to home.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, evaluations are tailored to your age, medical history, type of injury, and current goals. When appropriate, we coordinate closely with our connected care partners so that your evaluation results can inform ongoing treatment and rehabilitation.

When to seek a neuro evaluation

Consider scheduling a neuro evaluation if:

• Symptoms after a concussion or brain injury are new, worsening, or not improving as expected
• You are unsure whether it is safe to return to work, school, sports, or driving
• Headaches, sleep changes, or mood shifts are interfering with daily life
• You need clearer documentation of your symptoms and functional changes for work, school, or legal reasons
  

If you experience sudden or severe symptoms—such as weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, chest pain, or new vision loss—seek emergency medical care right away.

Supporting informed decisions

A well-structured neuro evaluation does not replace medical treatment, but it can give you and your care team better information. Many people feel more grounded once they have a clear description of their symptoms, objective data when appropriate, and a plan for follow-up.

External educational resources

For additional background on concussion and traumatic brain injury, you may find it helpful to review educational materials from:

• The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on concussion and mild traumatic brain injury (https://www.cdc.gov/traumaticbraininjury/index.html)
• The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) on traumatic brain injury (https://www.ninds.nih.gov/health-information/disorders/traumatic-brain-injury)
  

These external resources offer general education and do not replace a personalized neuro evaluation or medical advice.
