The Dangers of Untreated Concussions: How Chiropractic Care Can Help Recovery

Concussions come from a blow to the head or a sudden, forceful shake of the head that causes the brain to move back and forth rapidly. Some of the common symptoms of a concussion include headaches, dizziness, sensitivity to light, and cognitive impairment. These symptoms can last for a few days, weeks or even months. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to long-term health issues such as neurological disorders, depression, and anxiety.

However, chiropractic care can help in the recovery process. Chiropractic adjustments help to realign the spine which reduces the tension in the neck muscles. Furthermore, chiropractic care can help reduce inflammation in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. According to research, chiropractic care can help reduce the duration and severity of a concussion.

Chiropractic care for concussions involves a gentle, non-invasive technique that focuses on the spinal column and allows the body to heal naturally. By reducing the tension and inflammation, the body is able to recover faster and more effectively. Additionally, chiropractic care can help improve the blood flow to the brain, which will aid in the healing process.
