The plain-language overview
A careful path after concussion
Concussion recovery is individualized. Care focuses on symptoms, timeline, and safe return—with regenerative discussions only when clinically appropriate.
At Dr. Ethan Kellum Regenerative Solutions in Nashville, TN, concussion care starts with evaluation. Regenerative options are discussed only when they fit the findings, goals, and alternatives.
01
Understand the condition
What concussion concerns can involve
Concussion can affect cognition, balance, mood, sleep, and exercise tolerance. Recovery is not one-size-fits-all.
Evaluation helps sort what needs rest, graded return, supportive care, or further specialty input.
From evaluation to a matched plan
How we approach concussion
Listening, examination, and prior imaging (when available) come first. Then options are matched to the concussion structures involved.
- 01
History & exam
When concussion symptoms started, what aggravates them, and how you move day to day are reviewed in person.
- 02
Clarify the structure
Cartilage, soft tissue, nerve, or combined findings shape what is realistic to treat in the concussion.
- 03
Match the options
PRP, A2M, BMAC, prolotherapy, or non-injection care may be discussed when they fit.
- 04
Follow the response
Comfort and function over weeks guide whether to continue, adjust, or change course.
Individual response and timelines vary. Follow-up helps decide whether to continue, adjust, or change direction.
Paths often discussed
Care options for concussion
Common approaches considered after evaluation. Candidacy is individualized.

Prolotherapy

Questions patients ask
Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know which treatment I want for concussion treatment?

Are regenerative options a guarantee?
No. Response varies by diagnosis, history, and the structure involved. Expectations should be set for your situation.
How soon might I notice a change?
Timelines differ. Some people notice early comfort shifts; others improve more gradually across weeks with follow-up.
What should I bring to the visit?
Prior imaging or notes if you have them, a medication list, and a clear picture of the activities you want to return to.
