If you play contact sports, you may have already experienced a concussion at some point in your athletic career. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that can temporarily affect your mental state and level of consciousness. There is no “cure” for a concussion. Your body just needs to rest in order to recover. However, at Thrive Wellness Center in Fayetteville, we can offer adjustments to alleviate symptoms of a concussion, like headaches and neck pain, and make you more comfortable during your recovery.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A CONCUSSION?
WHY DO PEOPLE GET CONCUSSIONS?
Car accidents, falls and sports injuries are the most common ways people sustain concussions. Annually, around 10% of all athletes who play contact sports will sustain concussions. At Thrive Wellness Center in Fayetteville, the athletes who we see getting concussed most often are girls lacrosse and soccer players and boys basketball and football players.
Your Fayetteville chiropractor will be able to see the signs of brain injury, determine if you have a concussion, and recommend proper treatment for recovery.
Understanding the severity of your concussion and the necessary steps to recovery will help you get back on the field.
Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate headaches and neck pain associated with concussions, so you can help more comfortably.
