What is a concussion?
A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs when a sudden impact or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. This can happen due to falls, sports injuries, car accidents, or other incidents that cause the brain to move rapidly inside the skull.
Common symptoms of a concussion include headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory loss, nausea, and sensitivity to light or noise. While many concussions resolve with proper care, untreated or repeated injuries can lead to more serious, long-term issues.
At Meeting Point Health, we specialize in personalized concussion care, addressing both immediate symptoms and long-term recovery needs to help patients restore brain function and overall well-being.
How is a concussion diagnosed?
Diagnosing a concussion requires a thorough evaluation of symptoms, physical function, and the injury event. At Meeting Point Health, the process begins with a detailed medical history and discussion of symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, memory issues, or mood changes. A neurological exam is performed to assess cognitive function, balance, coordination, and reflexes, helping to identify potential brain dysfunction.
If necessary, imaging tests like CT or MRI scans may be used to rule out more serious issues, such as bleeding or structural damage. This comprehensive approach ensures an accurate diagnosis, allowing Dr. Steve Matta and the team to create a personalized treatment plan for effective recovery and long-term brain health.

Concussion Treatment options at Meeting Point Health
Acupuncture has become a promising treatment for concussions, offering relief from persistent symptoms and supporting recovery. Concussions, often caused by head trauma, can disrupt normal brain function and lead to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, balance issues, fatigue, and irritability. By strategically inserting thin needles at specific points on the body, acupuncture aims to restore energy balance and alleviate these debilitating effects.
This ancient practice has gained recognition for its ability to expedite recovery, reduce pain, and address chemical imbalances in the brain. At Meeting Point Health in Philadelphia, acupuncture is integrated into holistic concussion care, providing a natural, effective approach to healing and improving quality of life.
IV therapy for concussions is an innovative treatment that delivers essential nutrients, vitamins, and hydration directly into the bloodstream to support brain recovery and reduce symptoms. This approach bypasses the digestive system, ensuring faster and more effective absorption of critical nutrients needed for healing.
At Meeting Point Health, IV therapy for concussions may include a combination of antioxidants, such as glutathione, to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as vitamins like B-complex and magnesium to enhance nerve function and energy production. This targeted therapy helps alleviate symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, brain fog, and dizziness while promoting overall brain health and recovery. With its ability to accelerate healing and address concussion-related deficiencies, IV therapy is a powerful component of comprehensive concussion care.
Platelet-rich plasma PRP therapy is a medical treatment that involves the use of a patient’s own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. Once injected, the growth factors and other bioactive substances in PRP work to accelerate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote the formation of new blood vessels. This helps in reducing pain, improving function, and enhancing the overall healing process.
Stem cell injection therapy refers to a medical procedure in which stem cells are harvested from live, healthy birth tissue and then injected into a localized area on a patient’s body, typically to promote tissue repair, and regeneration, or to treat various medical conditions. Stem cells are unique because they can develop into different types of cells in the body, and they also have the capacity for self-renewal. This makes them valuable in medical treatments, as they can potentially replace or repair damaged or diseased tissues. Stem cell injection therapy can treat arthritic joints, sports injuries, tendinopathies, non-union fractures, meniscal tears, Degenerative Disc Disease, and Osteonecrosis or Avascular Necrosis.
Prolozone therapy is a mixture of ozone gas and a prolotherapy solution is injected into the affected area, often around joints, ligaments, or tendons. The theory is that this combination not only irritates and strengthens the tissues (like prolotherapy) but also delivers the potential therapeutic benefits of ozone, such as improved circulation and tissue oxygenation. Prolozone combines procaine, dextrose, B vitamins, saline, oxygen, and ozone into a damaged joint and the combination allows for regrowth of damaged tissue.
Peptide Therapy can be introduced as an at-home treatment, and in-office for joint injection and nerve hydrodissection purposes. Peptide therapy introduces peptides to signal communication with our cells to perform a specific response. Administrating peptides elicits a response to regulate or improve physiological functions. For regenerative medicine, peptides for wound recovery, and tissue repair, reduce inflammation, accelerate recovery time, and promote cell migration and differentiation.

How long does a concussion last?
The duration of concussion recovery varies widely depending on the severity of the injury, the individual’s health, and how the injury is managed. Here’s a breakdown of typical recovery timelines:
Mild Concussions: Most people recover fully within 7-10 days with proper rest and care. However, returning to normal activities too quickly can delay healing.
Moderate to Severe Concussions: Recovery can take several weeks to a few months, especially if symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or cognitive issues persist.
Persistent Post-Concussion Symptoms (Post-Concussion Syndrome): For about 10-20% of individuals, symptoms may last longer than three months, requiring more specialized care.
Factors Influencing Recovery: Age, pre-existing conditions (e.g., migraines or ADHD), and the number of previous concussions can all impact recovery time.
For best outcomes, it’s critical to follow a personalized treatment plan.
At Meeting Point Health, we specialize in integrative concussion treatments designed to support your body’s natural healing process. Our approach combines medical expertise, functional medicine, and therapies tailored to your needs.

How do I know if I have a concussion?
A concussion may cause headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, memory issues, or sensitivity to light and noise. Emotional changes like irritability or mood swings and sleep disturbances are also common. Seek immediate care if you experience severe headaches, vomiting, seizures, or confusion. At Meeting Point Health, we provide expert concussion evaluations and care to help you recover safely.
How many concussions are too many?
There isn’t a universal “safe” number of concussions, as the impact varies between individuals. However, multiple concussions increase the risk of long-term complications like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), memory issues, and mood disorders.
If you’ve had more than one concussion, or if symptoms take longer to resolve after each injury, it’s essential to consult a specialist. At Meeting Point Health, we offer personalized care to support recovery and reduce risks from repeated head injuries.
Does Meeting Point Health accept insurance for back pain treatment?
Meeting Point Health does not accept insurance.
Our practitioners and staff fully understand and empathize with the challenges that patients face as they make financial decisions for proper health care. Our practice is very different from a conventional medical practice in many ways, but the time spent with each patient is usually 30-90 minutes. Visits with a physician covered by insurance generally allow for less than 10 minutes in total! Conventional medical practices that take insurance maintain brief office visits and high patient loads for this reason. We cannot provide the expert care that every one of our patients deserves under those circumstances.
Insurance also dictates the types of treatments and order of treatments patients can receive for a particular condition.
Opting out of insurance allows the patient and the doctor to maintain their medical autonomy, which is imperative to ensure you get the right treatment at the right time and the right dose.
Can I get an insurance reimbursement?
