Concussion Recovery — Ozark, MO
Concussion Recovery That Actually Works.
Post-concussion headaches, brain fog, dizziness, persistent symptoms — if you’ve been told to just wait it out, there’s a better approach.

You Were Told to Rest. You’re Still Not Right.
You sat in a dark room for two weeks. You stayed off screens. You skipped practice. Your doctor cleared you.
But the headaches are still there. The brain fog won’t lift. You feel off-balance. You’re scared to go back because something still doesn’t feel right.
That’s not “just part of recovery.” That’s a sign something was missed — and it’s usually the neck.
We assess the whole picture. Brain and neck. Then we fix what’s actually driving the symptoms.
Real Results
What Our Patients Say
“Dr. Kauffman is great. He played an integral role in helping my son overcome a nagging back injury. He is very thorough and investigative. He even drove up to Bolivar to observe my son throw shot and disc and continued to monitor and provide guidance and feedback to ensure that my son was back to 100%. As a 3-sport, HS coach of 22 years, I will definitely be recommending my athletes and anyone else to check him out. He does great work!”
“A great experience! Dr Kauffman didn’t just adjust me, he treated me and solved my issue. If you have an ongoing issue like I did, I recommend him highly. You won’t be disappointed!”
Conditions We Treat
What athletes like you come to us for
Post-Concussion Syndrome
Symptoms lasting beyond 2-4 weeks. Headaches, brain fog, fatigue, irritability. If standard rest isn’t resolving it, something else is driving it.
Return-to-Sport Clearance
A structured, step-by-step protocol to get your athlete back on the field safely. Not just “do you feel okay?” — real testing at every stage.
Cervicogenic Symptoms
Headaches, dizziness, and neck pain after a concussion that are actually coming from the cervical spine. This gets missed constantly.
Vestibular Dysfunction
Dizziness, balance problems, motion sensitivity after a head injury. We test the vestibular system and build a rehab plan if it’s involved.
Youth Athlete Concussion
Kids recover differently than adults. We follow age-appropriate protocols and work with parents, coaches, and schools to manage the return safely.
Repeated Concussion History
Multiple concussions change the approach. We assess cumulative impact and build a recovery plan that accounts for your full history.
If symptoms are lingering no matter what you try, it’s time for a real assessment — one that looks at both the brain and the cervical spine.
