Concussion Treatment in Calgary: Manual Osteopathy for Post-Concussion Symptoms
Lingering headaches, dizziness, jaw tension or brain fog after a head injury can be frustrating long after the initial concussion. At Orthosports Calgary, manual osteopathy helps manage these post concussion symptoms alongside your medical care. We don’t diagnose concussions; we support recovery once a concussion has been identified by a physician or is being managed with your doctor. We’re located in Manchester Industrial, across from Chinook Mall.
What Is a Concussion (mTBI)?
Whenever someone hits their head, some form of concussion, also called mild traumatic brain injury or mTBI, can result. The brain shakes inside the skull, and most CT and MRI scans show no structural damage even though the symptoms are very real. Despite the word mild, a concussion can affect your health and daily life well after the initial injury.
Common Post-Concussion Symptoms We Treat
We work with clients experiencing:
- Dizziness, vertigo or imbalance that lingers after the initial injury.
- Headaches and head pressure that don’t resolve on their own.
- Jaw tension and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) related pain, which often develops after a head or neck injury.
- Brain fog and trouble concentrating.
- Neck pain that overlaps with whiplash, common after car accidents and sports collisions.
- Blurred vision and balance problems that make screens or driving harder.
Our Treatment Approach
Our therapists look for the root cause of your symptoms and aim to find the shortest path to a symptom free daily life:
❶
TMJ massage to improve jaw function and relieve jaw pain.
❷
Craniosacral therapy to help with headaches and head pressure.
❸
Neurokinetic therapy (NKT) to address blurred vision, balance problems, dizziness and vertigo.
❹
Vagus nerve stimulation, useful for lingering vestibular and nervous system symptoms.
❺
Self-care advice and progress tracking, including feedback on when you may be ready to return to activities like sport.
Who This Helps
This page is for people managing lingering symptoms after a medically identified concussion: athletes working toward a return to sport, car accident and whiplash patients, and anyone with dizziness, headaches or jaw tension that hasn’t resolved on its own. It’s not a substitute for diagnosing a new head injury; see the note below.
When to See a Doctor First
If you have a new or suspected head injury, see a physician or emergency care first. We work with clients once a concussion has been medically identified, or alongside a treating physician, and we don’t replace that medical evaluation.

Sergei & Brian are both amazing. They always take time to listen and understand, then get to work. Massage or NKT are purposeful strategic with immediate and lasting effect. The best of the best, by far.
Sergei and his team are exceptional. My mum had a curved spinal cord, severe pains in her hip as well as arthritis. After a few sessions at Orthosport, her posture has been corrected and she has no more pains. I will recommend Orthosports anytime!!
Every time I go for treatment, I asked for deep tissue and let them go as deep as it needed to fix the problem. By the evening I feel 20yr younger and can go back to work the next morning.
Brian was very informative as he worked through the various parts that could be connected to the problem area explaining the process as well as what could be causing the issue. He quickly figured out and targeted on working through the affected areas and the whole session was relatively painless whilst very effective.

FAQs About Concussion Treatment in Calgary
Can manual osteopathy treat a concussion?
Manual osteopathy can support recovery from post concussion symptoms such as neck tension, jaw or TMJ tightness, and vestibular related imbalance, as part of a broader recovery plan. It does not diagnose a concussion or replace emergency or medical evaluation of a head injury.
Do you diagnose concussions?
No. Any new or suspected head injury should be assessed by a physician, emergency department, or concussion trained clinician first. We work with clients once a concussion has been medically identified, or alongside their treating physician.
How soon after a concussion can I start treatment?
Timing is individual and depends on your symptoms and your physician’s guidance. We coordinate with your existing care rather than setting a fixed timeline.
Is concussion treatment covered by insurance?
We offer direct billing to many extended health providers. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend confirming your specific benefit before your visit.
What happens during a concussion therapy session at Orthosports?
A hands on assessment of jaw, neck and vestibular related tension, followed by techniques such as TMJ massage and craniosacral therapy, plus take home self care guidance. Sessions are adjusted to your current symptoms and tolerance.
Is manual osteopathy safe soon after a concussion?
We tailor pressure and technique to your current symptoms and coordinate timing with your physician, so treatment fits where you are in your recovery rather than following a fixed schedule.
Can this help with screen time or driving-related symptoms?
Yes. We address vestibular and visual-related imbalance that often makes screens or driving harder after a concussion, working alongside your medical care.
