Chiropractic Care for Concussions: What You Need to Know
What’s a Concussion?
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury. However, it can affect more than just brain function.
Common symptoms include:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Neck pain
- Difficulty concentrating
How can Chiropractors Assist with Concussions?
Collaborative & Comprehensive Care: When it comes to concussions, treatment usually involves a “multidisciplinary” effort. Chiropractors work alongside physicians, physiotherapists, and neurologists to ensure comprehensive concussion care.
A “Whole Body” Approach: Chiropractors look beyond just the head — they’re spine, muscle, joint, and nervous system experts. Using non-invasive, evidence-based techniques, they’re able to reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and relieve tension.
