     The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 1.6 million to 3.8 million people experience concussions during sports and recreational activities annually in the United States.  In order to stay safe and avoid permanent damage, it is important to know the warning signs and treatments for concussions. 

      Our PT Anthony filled us in on some important facts about concussions. 

     "Symptoms may be presented as dizziness, trouble with balance, loss in concentration, changes in mood or behavior, loss of memory, blackouts, headaches, neck pain and sensitivity to light and environmental noise."

     "New research of CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, shows long-term consequences of changes in neurodynamics of brain tissue can cause changes in our internal wiring. This results in accelerated mood changes, depression, memory loss and even
death."

     "There is no such thing as mild concussion. Insult to brain causes symptoms (you do not have to black out to receive a concussion) that should all be taken seriously. This includes terminating athletics until further notice and consultation with the appropriate health professionals."

     If you have suffered from a traumatic brain injury, WE CAN HELP! With out baseline testing, balance exercises, vestibular training & the care of one our talented therapists, we can help you get "better today for a healthy tomorrow!"
