Have you been under the assumption that a concussion only happens if you black out? This is not always the case! Whiplash, falls, head injury and any form of sudden contact in sports or normal activities can cause a concussion! While these incidents do not immediately indicate a concussion, it is good to know what symptoms to look out for: • Headaches, (throbbing at the temples and eyes, behind the ears and/or the base of the skull) • Problems with spatial alertness • Tightness in the shoulder blades and/or neck • Dizziness, loss of memory, blurry focus (mentally and/or visually) • Problems reading If these symptoms continue for weeks to months later, that could indicate PCS (post-concussion syndrome). If any of the symptoms listed are making you consider if you or a loved one has sustained a concussion, confirm with your doctor and see a practitioner for PCS treatment. At Essential Physiotherapy & Wellness we offer wellness through Chiropractic treatment.
