Even a doctor can find themselves lost after an injury. For Lauren Trachtenberg, M.D., a resident physician at Hackensack Meridian JFK University Medical Center, a car accident left her with debilitating concussion symptoms that threatened her demanding career. When rest wasn't enough to fix her fatigue, migraines, and vision issues, she knew she needed a new path.
That path led her to the Concussion Program at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute - Recognized nationally as a Top 35 physical rehabilitation hospital seven years running by U.S. News & World Report 2025-2026. Under the care of Christine Greiss, D.O., Dr. Trachtenberg discovered that modern concussion treatment is about more than just the brain—it’s about seeing “how the car drives out on the road.”
Find out how a multi-pronged approach including "brain training," physical therapy, and advanced diagnostics helped Dr. Trachtenberg finally find relief. Learn more about the innovative work being done by Dr. Greiss, Arielle Berkowitz, D.O., and the team at JFK Johnson to give patients their lives back.
