Specialist In Neurological Rehabilitation Shares About Concussion And Brain Injury Recovery – Dr. Ayla Wolf And Lily Patrascu

Dr. Ayla Wolf is a neurological rehabilitation specialist and the founder and clinic director of Healing Response Acupuncture and Functional Neurology in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. She has personally experienced multiple sports-related concussions, and her own recovery journey now shapes the way she works with patients. She explains that many people live with long-term post-concussion symptoms without realizing they are brain-related, especially when the original injury seemed minor and the symptoms appeared months later. These symptoms can include trouble focusing, mood changes, disrupted sleep, irritability, and a constant sense of feeling overwhelmed. She emphasizes that the brain controls mood, hormones, cognition, and autonomic functions, so when it is injured, a person’s entire sense of balance can be affected. Her approach recognizes that every concussion is different, which makes individualized evaluation and a clear, personalized healing path essential.
