A sudden fall, <a href=\"https:\/\/coderbeans.com\/physiotherapy-first-2.0-dev\/treatment\/workplace-injuries-in-brampton\"><strong>workplace injuries<\/strong><\/a> or car accidents can also result in the symptoms of concussion. It is crucial to get concussion rehabilitation treatment as soon as you suffer a head injury, even if it&#8217;s mild. You can recover efficiency through proper diagnosis and treatment.

It disrupts the normal functioning of your brain leading to short-term and long-term effects. Most people get a concussion after a sudden blow to the head which directly alters the brain\u2019s function. Some people may lose consciousness but most do not in a concussion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you know if you have a concussion?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have suffered a head injury, you should get checked by a physical therapist. Concussion symptoms can take some time to appear and may go unnoticed initially. Concussion affects thinking abilities, physical health, mood and sleep quality. Check out for the below-mentioned signs if you or your loved one has a head injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\r\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Physical Signs<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>Thinking Abilities<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>Emotional Signs<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>Sleep Quality<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Dizziness<br \/>Balance problems<br \/>Blurry vision<br \/>Headaches<br \/>Constant feelings of tiredness<br \/>Sensitivity to light or noise<\/td>\r\n<td>No clear thoughts<br \/>A feeling of \u2018slowing down\u2019<br \/>Concentration problems<br \/>Problems in processing new information<\/td>\r\n<td>Irritability\u00a0<br \/>Anxiety<br \/>Nervousness<br \/>Persistent sadness<\/td>\r\n<td>Lack of sleep<br \/>Sleeping more than usual<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you get it without hitting your head?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can still get a concussion without hitting your head directly. Sudden and forceful head or neck movements can also cause concussion symptoms. This can happen in sports like football, roller coaster rides or car accidents.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Heal a Concussion Fast?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concussion symptoms may or may not appear immediately after you hurt your head. You should consult with a physical therapist within 48 hours of sustaining the injury. They follow a proper protocol which I have discussed later in the blog to help you recover.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the immediate concussion treatment?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an immediate treatment, take complete rest for 2-3 days if you notice the signs of concussion. You must allow your brain and body to heal. You should start feeling a tad better after the rest period. If you suffered a concussion while playing sports, do not resume the game unless a physical therapist examines you.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you should not do after a concussion?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Driving\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Reading<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Watching TV<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Using phone<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Working on laptops<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Physical activity<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Playing video games<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Operating machinery<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Being alone for at least 24 hours<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Return to Normal Life?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the 2-3 days of complete rest is over, you need to gradually return to your normal lifestyle. Do not push yourself too hard. Listen to your body and take rest whenever you want.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the stages of concussion rehabilitation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\r\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong>Concussion Recovery Stage<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>What to do?<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td><strong>What time does it take?<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td colspan=\"3\"><strong>Acute Phase (First 48-72 hours)<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Physical Rest<\/td>\r\n<td>Take complete rest.

The activities, their frequency and intensity may however differ.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Concussion Rehabilitation Treatment Work?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physiotherapists who specialize in concussion treatment provide concussion rehabilitation treatment. The healthcare professionals diagnose the problem, restore your normal lifestyle and prevent the recurrence of symptoms.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here\u2019s what to expect.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Initial Assessment<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The physical therapist evaluates your <a href=\"https:\/\/coderbeans.com\/physiotherapy-first-2.0-dev\/services\/physiotherapy\"><strong>physical symptoms<\/strong><\/a> and functional limitations caused by concussions. They also assess your balance, headaches, vestibular health, coordination and neck pain.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diagnosis<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have to go through specific tests that help diagnose the condition. Examples of tests in concussion treatment:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Neurological tests-<\/strong> Evaluate balance, coordination, vision, hearing, strength, sensation and reflexes<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Cognitive tests<\/strong>&#8211; Evaluate memory, ability to remember details and focus levels<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The therapists prepare an individualized treatment plan after the diagnosis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concussion Management<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a wide range of treatments to manage concussion symptoms. The most common ones are as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cervical Spine Rehabilitation<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physios may relieve neck pain associated with concussion. They use manual therapy techniques to reduce your pain and restore neck mobility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vestibular Rehabilitation<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concussion is often accompanied by balance problems and dizziness. Therapists use this technique to improve the coordination of the brain and inner ear, thereby helping your body maintain balance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cognitive Rehabilitation<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concussion can take a toll on your cognitive abilities. Physios may work with other healthcare professionals to fix cognitive symptoms like lack of concentration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Progressive Exercise Program<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physiotherapists recommend a set of specific exercises to get you back to a normal, functioning lifestyle. They start with low-impact exercises such as stationary cycling or walking. Eventually, they increase the intensity and duration of the exercises to improve your overall strength, endurance and fitness.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Self-Management Advice<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Physical therapists empower you to manage the symptoms of concussion and return to your life as healthy as a horse. They help you understand concussion, its impact on your health and how you can prevent the condition in future. They help you listen to your body and return to physical and cognitive abilities gradually.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do You Need Concussion Treatment?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concussion symptoms reduce within 48 hours. You should get immediate medical attention if the symptoms feel worse or the same after 2 days. Avoid any form of exercise or physical activity in the first 72 hours. Allow your body and brain to rest completely for 48 hours straight and you can already feel better the third day. But, it is not yet time to resume work or sports since complete healing takes time. A licensed physical therapist can guide you to return to a functioning lifestyle through progressive exercises and other therapies. They help you prevent the problem from recurring in future. <a href=\"https:\/\/coderbeans.com\/physiotherapy-first-2.0-dev\/\"><strong>Physiotherapy First<\/strong><\/a> is one of the multidisciplinary clinics that provide concussion therapy in Brampton to kids, teenagers, athletes and senior citizens.
