Concussion Management
Through Chiropractic Care
In Australia, more than 3,000 people are hospitalised yearly due to a concussion, from playing sports alone. Almost triple of this number doesn’t seek medical attention at all. What’s worse is that 9 out of 10 people who are hospitalised due to a concussion, don’t even recognise the condition.
Understanding Post Concussion Management
After a concussion, the electrical potential of the brain is instantly affected and it takes at least a few weeks to regain normalcy. Athletes who suffer a concussion, must not engage in sports for 14 to 18 days post-episode. The situation gets much more difficult for people who get a concussion for the second time. They are at a higher risk of permanent brain injury, which could potentially be life-threatening. Besides, if a concussion goes untreated, symptoms like headache, confusion, lack of cognitive ability, and sleepiness may persist and get serious over time.
In the early stages of recovering from a concussion, the patient’s brain and nervous system must be provided with regular stimulation. This can improve the recovery time and better restore healthy brain function. When it comes to post-concussion management, Chiropractic care involves vision therapy, neck therapy, and neuro therapy to bring the brain back to its normal health.
