Chiropractic Is Essential For Concussions

While everyone can beneft from chiropractic care, it is more essential for some.  One very good example is anyone who has suffered from a concussion.  A concussion, also known as a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), is "caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.  This sudden movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes in the brain and sometimes stretching and damaging brain cells."  A concussion will also likely cause a severe Vertebral Subluxation Complex, especially in the upper neck, making chiropractic care especially important for improved recovery.  Over the years, we've helped many patients to speed up the healing process after a concussion.  Case studies published last year, also show the effectiveness of specific chiropractic care with concussions.  In both cases, these patients were previously under traditional chiropracic care, but only recovered fully after receiving more specific, upper neck spinal adjustments.  For anyone that has suffered from a concussion, specific chiropractic care can help restore proper brain and nervous system healing, allowing you to lead an active and productive life once again.
