As the only Level I Trauma Rehabilitation hospital in the Inland Northwest, St. Luke’s meets every post-concussive challenge with the utmost care. Our team of highly specialized therapists creates individualized plans for patients suffering from concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Depending on the patient’s condition, our therapists use a combination of physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech language pathology to promote recovery and a successful transition back to the communities. We collaborate with neuropsychologists for symptoms persisting more than a month after head traumas to ensure that patients receive targeted psychological or neurological care during every step of their recovery journey.
