Concussions: How They Affect Your Life and What to Do for Them

Concussion, Head Trauma, Headache, Head Pain, Post-Concussion Syndrome, Post Concussion Syndrome, Post - Concussion Syndrome, Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, MTBJA concussion or traumatic brain injury can alter the way the brain works. This can be temporary or permanent. Some symptoms of concussions are:

  • Headaches
  • Memory loss
  • Confusion
  • Feeling off balance
  • Problems with concentration

It is entirely possible for a person to get a concussion and not lose consciousness, resulting in some people having endured a concussion and not even realizing it.

What Causes Concussions?

When you think of someone getting a concussion, often the first thing that pops into your mind is playing sports, especially contact sports such as football. However, other things can also cause a concussion: any type of blow to the head or violently shaking the head or the upper body. Children are often involved in playing sports, and they are often the victims of concussions. It is important for parents to be aware of this and keep a close eye on their children as the signs and symptoms are not always noticeable. Evidence suggests that people who endure repeated concussions over the course of their life may develop permanent problems with their cognitive function.

Getting Immediate Help for Concussions is Vital

When people get a concussion, they are often in some type of traumatic event involving the head. Therefore, this puts the upper cervical spine at risk for misalignments. Even if the misalignment is as small as a ΒΌ of a millimeter, it can create major problems throughout the body. It can impact the way that the body heals and functions.

Here at Advanced Spinal Care in Redwood City, California, we have been specially trained to find these tiny misalignments through the use of specific measurements and scientific methods along with the aid of imaging technology. Once we discover where they are located, we use a gentle method tailored to each of our patients to help correct the problem. This does not involve popping or cracking the spine. It has been seen to take care of many of the issues associated with concussions, such as headaches, and helps prevent problems later in life.
