Concussion Treatment in Edmonton
From bike accidents and sports injuries to falls and auto accidents, there are many causes of concussions, which are a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can affect anyone. Symptoms can range from headaches and dizziness to memory problems and mood changes. While medical care is essential, chiropractic treatments can offer complementary support in the recovery process.
The Role of Chiropractic Care in Concussion Recovery
Chiropractic care focuses on the musculoskeletal system and its connection to overall health. For concussion patients, this approach can address several key areas:
Spinal Alignment and Nervous System Function: Concussions can sometimes lead to spinal misalignments. Chiropractic adjustments correct these issues, potentially reducing nerve irritation and promoting optimal nervous system function. This alignment can be crucial for the healing process.
Pain Management and Inflammation Reduction: Whiplash, a common side effect of head injuries, often causes pain and inflammation in the neck and upper back. Chiropractic adjustments may help manage these symptoms by improving joint mobility and reducing inflammation in affected areas.
Balance and Coordination Improvement: Concussions frequently disrupt the body’s balance system. Chiropractic care can address musculoskeletal imbalances that may contribute to dizziness and coordination problems, promoting stability and improved balance.
