Concussion care requires patience and careful pacing, since brain recovery is often nonlinear. Our approach emphasizes gentle cranial support, balance work, and strategies to reduce overstimulation while progress unfolds.
A Bit of History
Concussions have been documented since ancient times, though early descriptions often came from the battlefield. Hippocrates described symptoms resembling mild traumatic brain injury over 2,000 years ago. In the 19th century, railway accidents gave rise to the diagnosis of “railway spine,” a condition with many concussion-like features. The 20th century saw greater awareness as athletes in boxing, football, and hockey experienced repeated head injuries, leading to long-term consequences. Today, concussion management is an interdisciplinary field combining neurology, rehabilitation, and conservative care. Standard treatment emphasizes rest, gradual return to activity, and therapies to address lingering symptoms. Approaches such as cranial sacral therapy and rehabilitation can complement traditional medical oversight, helping patients regain balance and clarity.
How this Can Help You
Concussion may cause dizziness, brain fog, and difficulty focusing. Care can support smoother recovery by calming nervous system overstimulation, guiding safe return to activity, and building resilience through structured pacing. Patients often report clearer concentration, reduced headaches, and more confidence in daily function.
