Free Baseline Concussion Testing Until the end of October!
Peach Physiotherapy & Wellness Clinic will be offering FREE baseline concussion testing until the end of October. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury which could happen as a result of a mild or serious blow to the head. Often times, a head injury may appear mild. Research indicates there are severe, long-term effects of concussions. Accumulative concussions from recurrent head injuries have long-term effects. The latest research study done on the aftereffects of concussions in high school athletes found that even the less serious concussions may have the long-term effects, especially if the sportsman goes back to play too soon, or has a history of head injuries. Under normal conditions, the mind floats in a defensive pool of spinal fluid inside the skull.
Specific occasions like a car accident or hard fishing gear may cause the brain to slam into the inside walls of the skull. Depending on the strength of the injury and the minds capability to realign, the harm can be mild to severe. Most people may get over a mild concussion within only a few hours, however, a more serious harm can cause symptoms to get a number of weeks. For the first few minutes after a head injury, the affected party might experience a lack of awareness, dizziness, irregular dilatation of the pupils or weakness to one side of the body.
In several cases, the injured person might feel nauseated or break out in convulsions. When the concussion is mild to reasonable, the signs may dissolve inside a couple of hours with rest. The person might still have difficulties with alignment or vision, but with time, the brain will recover. When the head trauma is severe, the individual might experience a prolonged loss of consciousness, depression, mood swings, or bleeding in the brain. A CT Scan or MRI done as quickly as possible following the harm will be capable of determining the severity of the concussion. Bruising and bleeding of the mind aren’t always considered life-threatening, but undiscovered conditions may be triggered in the case of a concussion.
About 15 percent of people who suffer a concussion encounter post-concussion syndrome with signs that can last for weeks after the harm is healed. In several cases, the aftereffects of a concussion may last for a year or longer. Numerous reasons for post-concussion syndrome aren’t clear to physicians and medical researchers. No correlations between the intensity of the injury and the improvement of the post-concussion syndrome have already been found. Numerous researchers believe that post-concussion syndrome is just completely psychological. Others argue that there’s definitely a medical cause for the situation, even if such a cause remains unidentified.
