Concussion

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head. Symptoms may not always be obvious but can affect daily life, athletic performance, and overall well-being.

Thrive Clinic provides an integrated approach combining chiropractic care, physical therapy, and rehabilitation strategies to support safe recovery and improve long-term function.

Concussion symptoms may include:

• Headache or pressure in the head
• Dizziness or balance issues
• Nausea or sensitivity to light or sound
• Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
• Fatigue or sleep disturbances
   

Symptoms may appear immediately or gradually over hours or days. Early care is critical for effective recovery.
 

Concussions can result from:

• Sports or recreational injuries
• Falls or accidents
• Repetitive head impacts
   

Recovery may be delayed by:

• Premature return to activity
• Neck or spinal tension
• Poor posture or movement compensation
• History of previous concussions
   

Common challenges include:

• Persistent headaches and dizziness
• Neck stiffness and limited mobility
• Difficulty focusing or remembering tasks
• Interference with work, school, or athletic performance
   

Early, targeted care can reduce symptom severity and help patients regain normal function faster.
 

Thrive Clinic creates customized treatment plans focused on symptom relief and functional recovery:

• Chiropractic Care: Align the spine and neck to reduce strain
• Physical Therapy: Improve balance, coordination, and vestibular function\Soft Tissue Therapy: Release tension in the neck and shoulder muscles
• Recovery Guidance: Safe movement strategies and activity planning
   

This integrated approach addresses both symptoms and underlying causes to support full recovery.
 

When neurological and musculoskeletal issues are addressed, concussion symptoms often resolve faster, helping patients return to normal activity safely.
