Diagnosing a Concussion
Concussion Treatment and Management
For the first 24-48 hours after an injury, full rest is generally recommended. All physically and mentally taxing activity is to be postponed. Following this rest period, a gradual increase in mental and physical exertion is prescribed, and symptoms are monitored.
If symptoms don’t quickly resolve, the following treatments may help:
- Manual therapy of the neck
- Diet and nutritional changes
- Balance and eye movement exercises
Our goal with this type of injury is a gradual return to work / play, progressively increasing your mental and physical activity while ensuring your safety!
