Concussion Injuries Therapy
Pain, stiffness, an injury that won’t heal — if it’s keeping you from moving normally, we likely treat it. Here are the conditions we see most across our 8 Texas clinics. No referral needed to start.
Concussions or mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI) often go undiagnosed after a concussive event. These events could happen from motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, or any other injuries which lead to direct or indirect blows to the head.
So, what are concussions, and how dangerous are these?
The answer lies in the complex structure of our brain which consists of jelly-like fatty tissue inside a protective membrane and hard casing of the skull. But a sudden blow can jolt the brain against its hard interiors, tearing and stretching neurons. This disrupts their communication and releases toxins, further causing the death of other neurons. Eventually this leads to milder issues like persistent headaches and learning difficulties to more severe conditions such as blood clots called hematomas, nausea, vertigo, and blurry vision. These symptoms can significantly impact personal relationships due to the changes in the emotional behaviors of the patients secondary to Concussion.
What Causes Concussions?
A simple fall from the staircase in the home, a sports injury, or a whiplash in a motor vehicle can lead to a concussion.
Thankfully, concussion injuries can heal within a matter of weeks or days with proper rest and physical therapy.
Concussion Treatment and Concussion Management
Concussion therapy can be challenging to diagnose, as it does not always show up in MRI or brain scans. However, at Advance Physical Therapy, our concussion management experts obtain medical history followed by the injury with care and compassion, noting down every bit of detail to formulate a well-rounded plan.
Our therapists also help patients improve cardiovascular outputs for players and facilitate the vestibular system recruitment. Getting them back to performing at a high level without residual symptoms.
Moreover, our therapy services provide lifestyle modifications and exercise regimes as a part of motor vehicle accidents treatment and sports injury treatment to minimize the long-term risks.
In conclusion, concussions, though often temporary, can lead to lasting physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges if not properly managed. At Advance Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating and managing concussions, through expert care and personalized treatment plans. We believe that early diagnosis, tailored therapy, and lifestyle modifications are key to helping our patients recover fully, regain strength, and improve performance without long-term effects.
