California NeuroHealth is Medical Team for Dragon House MMA Fighters at February 6th Event



REDWOOD, Calif., Jan. 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California Neurohealth announced that the practice is serving as the medical team for Dragon House MMA academy which will have fighters at Dragon House 22 on February 6. The showcase will be held at 4PM at Kezar Pavilion near the panhandle of Golden Gate Park. California Neurohealth works with participating fighters in advance of the event to ensure they are in top fighting shape. Dr. Chris DeMartini will be on the stadium floor showcasing the Dynavision D2, a rehab machine used to prepare fighters and rehabilitate the brain injured. Dr. DeMartini will be promoting concussion and traumatic brain injury awareness. Event attendees will be able to sign up for a free baseline neurological assessment and screening, and learn more about traumatic brain injury prevention and treatment.
Chiropractic neurologist Dr. Chris DeMartini will be attending the upcoming February 6 Dragon House MMA showcase in San Francisco in order to raise awareness about the importance of brain injury prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Dr. DeMartini, who also works closely with the Dragon House MMA team to train for the event, is encouraging event participants and spectators to take this opportunity to sign up for a free baseline neurological assessment and screening.
“Unfortunately the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) does not have the highest standards when it comes to protecting the fighters from future neurological injury,” said Dr. DeMartini. “All participants will benefit from our baseline assessment for comparing against future injuries, which is why we will be offering these complementary screenings to event attendees.”
Dr. DeMartini says that CSAC needs to do more to protect fighters against traumatic brain injuries. He emphasized that a basic neurological exam does not provide the same level of care as an in depth examination, focused on skills requisite to fighters, done by a practitioner who specializes in combat injuries and sports care.
“This is a direct reflection of the fact CSAC also lacks a refined standard for assessing injuries. The pre-fight exam they require is insufficient and there is no post-fight exam requirement. The neurology of combat sport is very different than the neurology of Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, migraine, Parkinson's disease or brain surgery for cancer, and requires specialized neurological care. By working closely with Dragon House, we hope to raise awareness about the importance of improved testing standards.”
Dr. DeMartini will also be bringing the Dynavision D2 to the event. Dr. DeMartini uses this equipment to train fighters and help them recover following an injury. “Sports performance is linked to complex perceptual and cognitive skills,” said Dr. De Martini. “Fighting in particular relies on strong visual skills, hand-eye coordination, and fast cognitive processing. These skills can be tested and trained using the D2.”
California Neurohealth is a multidisciplinary clinic in Redwood City specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain and neurological disorders, including combat injuries. For more information, call (650) 260-2557 or visit www.californianeurohealth.com.
