What is a concussion, and how can physiotherapy help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A concussion is a minor traumatic brain injury that several sports accidents can cause, such as a helmet-to-helmet hit or a direct fall on the head and neck. Millions of people experience a traumatic brain injury each year who don\u2019t know that physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most athletes want to stay away from medications because of issues like dependency and potential side effects. Rather, we address your condition and treat symptoms directly with a series of effective healing methods. In some cases, however, concussions should be seen by a doctor first to make sure no other serious injuries have occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n

Concussions in the world of sports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aside from falls, the leading cause of concussions is sports-related injuries. You are especially susceptible to concussions if you play a contact sport such as football or soccer. Typically, people will fully recover from a concussion, but recovery can be prolonged if instructions aren\u2019t followed, or rehab is delayed. Other causes of concussions include work accidents, playground injuries, and vehicle collisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
