Abstract
Postconcussive symptoms in children and adolescents may include cognitive, psychological, and behavioral changes. When symptoms become chronic they are often not able to be identified with standard medical evaluations. Physicians may find that these chronic symptoms are also resistant to traditional medical treatments. Postconcussive symptoms may be associated with the injury itself and/or secondary to the resulting psychological issues or stressors/changes following a concussion. It is important to conduct an extensive evaluation of psychological and nonorganic factors that may be contributing to the presentation in order to determine appropriate referrals and interventions. Integrative care is an effective and essential care model for this population.
