Concussion & PCS Care | North Scottsdale

"My fiancé had a fall over a year ago that injured her back and gave her a concussion. She didn't notice it quite as much as I did, but she was having significant memory and cognitive issues. She was also having balance issues even while standing completely still as well as severe chronic headaches. I had hoped to see her improve as time passed, but that was not the case. She was seemingly degrading and I was very worried. When you see the most important person in your world suffering you want to know that you are doing everything you can to help them. I thank God that my fiancé got connected with Dr. Mark Heisig at Concussion & PCS. Her recovery and return to normal healthy function was a very quick process. He was patient, kind, and really took time to make sure that she had the treatment and tools needed to return to full form. Her concussion now is nothing but a blip in both of our memories that ended in the best way possible with full recovery. If you want your friends or loved ones to receive the best care possible then this is the place to go. Thank you Dr. Mark Heisig!"

"Dr. Heisig gave me my life back. No exaggeration. I'm not involved in sports or anything of the sort, but I suffered a concussion in 2018 that led to multiple subsequent ones over the following years due to clumsiness I just couldn't seem to shake; not to mention, the latent neuroinflammation from my prior injuries seemed to lower the threshold for symptomatic impacts. It was beyond frustrating. I had terrible brain fog, fatigue and memory issues, my already present migraines worsened, and I was growing increasingly concerned about permanent damage. It was finally after my 5th concussion that I found Dr. Heisig, and following his incredibly thorough and in-depth examination and testing procedures (seriously, mind-boggling amounts of data + feedback I was able to track throughout my visits, with technology I'd never seen before-- and I was a neuroscience undergrad!!) it was discovered that my clumsiness was not just a personal shortcoming: the whiplash from my first concussion caused some untreated cervical spine damage that was 1. completely missed by all the sports doctors and physical therapists I had seen prior 2. severely interfering with my proprioception, resulting in said clumsiness. He was able to pinpoint the specific sites of injury + associated anatomical points of interest based on the previously mentioned slew of examinations, performed adjustments, and gave me physical therapy regimens that were far more precise and targeted than anything I'd done prior-- and they worked. Surprisingly quickly too, which was unexpected but very welcome. Not only that, but his acute recovery regimen actually bounced me back from being completely unable to function post-concussion to arguably better than I had been pre-concussion just a couple weeks prior. And my neurological symptoms didn't continue to compound either, the way they had with my previous concussions. On top of that, it's been probably 6 months since my most recent appointment with him, and the advice he'd given me during my treatment (regarding general wellness: diet, nutrition, stretches/routines to help me with my specific activities + health overall) has helped me perform better at work, hobbies, school etc than before my very first concussion. Seriously, I thought I was screwed forever, but knock on wood... I think I'm finally free from my horrible cycle. And if I sustain another injury, I know exactly where I'll be headed. I have a variety of chronic health issues, and I've spent most of my money on medical bills over my life. Let me tell you, not even from his skill as a concussion specialist, but even from his sheer expertise as a holistic practitioner alone, it was the best money I've ever spent. Ever. I cannot even begin to underscore how remarkable that is. Just as a disclaimer, since I know I'm enthusiastic to a probably concerning degree: this isn't a sponsored review, I didn't obtain anything from it, I wasn't asked to write it, etc. I just want to help other people who were suffering like me, because if you want your health back, this is who you go to. If you've had a concussion and you're reading this, whether you're dealing with the acute injury or post-concussive syndrome, make an appointment with him. He won't let you down."

"My daughter was in a car accident and diagnosed with a concussion and post concussion syndrome. She kept telling me that something wasn't right with her eyes and had persistent extreme headaches for more than 3 months. She saw several doctors and a neurologist. They all told her "it just takes time to heal". As a mom I didn't feel satisfied with that answer. I searched google for the best post concussion syndrome doctor and found Dr. Heisig. She saw him a few times via zoom because she was outside of Arizona. I flew her to Scottsdale for a series of in person visits with him over a week and a half because there were some things going on with her eyes that he couldn't fully diagnose via online. The first visit was a full assessment including testing with computerized equipment. He was able to diagnose what was causing her eye issues on that same day. We finally had answers. She made more progress in that week and a half than she did with 3 months physical therapy. He also helped with her fatigue and neck pain. I appreciate that he explained everything to us in great detail and let me ask all of my questions. Each visit was packed full and he made great use of the time. I recommend anyone suffering with PCS to visit Dr. Heisig, Concussion and PCS Care."

"My daughter was involved in a car accident when she was attending college in Missouri. After the accident, my daughter began suffering from severe headaches, vision problems, and extreme fatigue. She went to various local doctors for help, but no one seemed to understand what was causing her symptoms. My wife found Concussion & PCS, and called for a free consultation. We flew our daughter home to Arizona to meet with Dr. Mark Heisig, and he was able to diagnose and treat her over two weeks in the summer. Since then, all of my daughter's symptoms have improved, and she continues to get better with the exercises Dr. Heisig described. Many neurologists are not trained to treat the specific symptoms of a concussion. That is why I recommend a specialized naturopathic doctor, like Dr. Heisig. He is an expert in treating concussions, and he has a passion to help people who are suffering from them."

"I loved working with Dr. Heisig! He's extremely knowledgeable and very professional in his approach. I sought his help after experiencing a concussion and subsequently was diagnosed with post-concussive syndrome. I was initially seen by my primary care doctor, but my symptoms seemed to worsen. Dr. Heisig was able to do a throughout evaluation and we initiated his plan. I'm very grateful and happy to say that I'm fully recovered! Thank you Dr. Heisig!"
