When most people think of Concussion Therapy they think of an athlete, and that they are the population that is at the highest risk for concussions. Not True
Actually the highest risk factor is from falling:
Falling can cause signs and symptoms of a concussion at any age, but especially elderly population.
Your brain has the consistency of gelatin. It's cushioned from everyday jolts and bumps by cerebrospinal fluid inside your skull.
A violent blow to your head and neck or upper body can cause your brain to slide back and forth forcefully against the inner walls of your skull.
Sudden acceleration or deceleration of the head, caused by events such as a fall, car crash or being violently shaken, also can cause brain injury.
These injuries affect brain function, usually for a brief period, resulting in signs and symptoms of concussion.
Physical signs and symptoms of a concussion may include:
Headache
Ringing in the ears
Fatigue or drowsiness
Balance Issues
Loss of Coordination
Delayed response to questions
Dazed appearance
Forgetfulness, such as repeatedly asking the same question
If you have taken a fall and experience any of these signs and symptoms, you need concussion therapy.
