Concussion Awareness and Prevention

Concussion Awareness and Prevention

Safeguarding Brain Health in Sports and Beyond

Concussions, although often linked to sports, can result from significant head or torso impacts. Understand what concussions are, how to spot them, and prevention measures, particularly for those in contact sports or at risk.

1. Understanding Concussions

A Closer Look at Traumatic Brain Injuries.

A concussion is a traumatic brain injury stemming from head or body blows, falls, or any jarring of the brain within the skull. Symptoms vary in intensity and duration.

2. Importance of Concussion Assessment

Identifying Concussions for Timely Intervention.

If you’ve experienced symptoms like lingering headaches or daily activity difficulties due to an injury, a concussion assessment is vital. During assessment, our physiotherapist:

  • Asks detailed questions about your incident and symptoms. Performs specific tests to gauge injury extent.
  • Develops a tailored treatment plan for symptom relief. Post-assessment, receive resources via email for managing concussion symptoms at home.

3. Tailored Treatment

Personalized Approaches to Concussion Recovery.

Treatment plans vary based on individual needs, concussion severity, and underlying conditions. Contact us to learn more: https://corewellnessandchiropractic.ca/contact-core-wellness-and-chiropractic/

4. Value of Baseline Testing

Strategic Baseline Testing for Athlete Safety

For athletes and contact sports enthusiasts, baseline testing is crucial. It allows us to assess tasks or symptoms potentially affected by a concussion before any incident. Understanding an athlete’s normal brain function helps measure injury severity against the baseline, aiding decisions on a safe return to sports.
