In this blog, we will highlight our natural, drug free approach to post-concussion syndrome. Learn the basics about concussion injury, what your healing options are, and how neuroplasticity might be the answer to a full recovery.
A concussion is a type of brain injury that affects normal brain function. This injury happens when a blow, bump, or hit to the head occurs. These are most prevalent from sports injuries, falls, and vehicle accidents. Concussions can also occur from indirect trauma to the head, including whip-lash type injuries. Because symptoms and presentation may vary widely from person to person in concussion injuries, it can make it difficult to diagnose and treat promptly. Some of the most common symptoms include headache, light sensitivity, dizziness, vision impairment, and brain fog.
The traditional medical approach includes physical and mental rest, medication, and gradual return to activity. Vision, cognitive, and physical therapy may be recommended as well.
While the above treatment approach can aid in minimizing symptoms, many times they do not fully heal the concussion injury and symptoms can persist. Our approach is to get to the root cause of the concussion injury and non-invasively heal the brain from within. Through breakthroughs in research of neuroplasticity, we implement a natural, drug-free approach to healing these conditions. For more on neuroplasticity, check out our previous blogs. Our concussion treatment program revolves around two paradigms: #1 utilizing technology to pinpoint areas of the brain and nervous system dysfunction to understand exactly where the injury is and #2 creating a personalized treatment plan to stimulate and heal those areas through neuroplasticity. Additionally, we look at other lifestyle factors including sleep, diet, and stress that may help in the healing process.
