Chiropractic Care for Concussions

Woodstock Chiropractic Care for Concussions.

Head injuries can happen to anyone at any time, and they happen to people participating in regular physical activities or exercises. They occur more often to those who are active in various sporting activities such as snowboarding, skiing, biking, snowmobiling, and water and speed sports. Prevention using protective equipment, such as mouthguards and helmets, won’t help. However, what occurs afterward, and how can you care for yourself, your head, and your spine if you suffer a head injury? Dr. Kal offers Woodstock chiropractic care for concussions that can speed up recovery.

Concussions

Head injuries (also called traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and commonly known as concussions) are injuries sustained when something shakes the brain within the skull in a manner that causes severe irritation to the brain itself.

You can sustain a TBI through repeated motions or one violent motion. The head doesn’t need to hit something physically for a head injury to happen. The severity of the symptoms will depend on the severity of your injury.

Common causes of concussions include shaking your head violently in a side-to-side motion or fast back and forth; hitting your head in a fall that could come from biking, skiing or any other sporting fall; or any activity in which you can experience whiplash.

How Chiropractic Care Speed Up Recovery After a Concussion

When your brain is shaken and irritated, it is logical to conclude that the communication with the rest of your body will be negatively affected because the brain’s instructions control various body functions.

Chiropractic care for concussions restores spinal joint motion to improve nervous system communication. Chiropractic adjustments offer many positive side effects, including sharpening the communication process and a rebooting of electrical impulses transmitted through your nervous system; it promotes restoration of proper muscle function and tone. Those getting regular Woodstock chiropractic care for concussions often experience pain relief.

Headaches, sleep problems, dizziness, trouble concentrating, memory loss, anxious or depressed mood, and other cognitive problems are the common symptoms of a concussion. Failure to address and treat these symptoms can wreak havoc on your social, family, and professional life.
