If you’re struggling with ongoing symptoms or health problems related to concussion, Brain Based Therapies or BBT could be the solution. The disorder known as post-concussion syndrome can involve a variety of symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, concentration or memory problems, insomnia and depression.
Physical, cognitive and emotional issues resulting from mild traumatic brain injury may persist for weeks, months or even a year or more in some cases, disrupting patients lives in a multitude of ways. Brain Based Therapies may be able to help, even if you’ve tried virtually every other type of medical care without success. BBT are safe, non-invasive, gentle and effective, so there’s no need to worry about side effects from medications complicating recovery.
Care involving Brain Based Therapies helps with concussions by starting with an in-depth evaluation of the patient’s health and of the body as a whole. Even though you know the head and brain are what has been injured in concussion, it’s necessary to determine the precise state of your brain-body connection. No two injuries and no two patients are the same. An in-depth evaluation is how a chiropractor or chiropractic neurologist can determine which BBT are right for your unique situation.
Once a personalized therapy plan has been devised, the concussion patient begins work that is aimed at promoting new brain connections in areas damaged or affected by the concussion. This is necessary because following a concussion; neurons in the brain may swell. This swelling is problematic, as it may lead to vital brain connections dying off. These connections are essential to your well-being and ability to function.
Consider that the brain is responsible for the functioning of every cell, tissue and organ in the body, including regulating itself. It’s not surprising concussion injury may affect a wide variety of areas within the body. Concussions can have such a widespread impact on your health and well-being because of the extreme importance of proper brain functioning at all times.
Fortunately, the brain has the ability to form new neural pathways and synapses connections, which is the goal of Brain Based Therapies for concussion rehabilitation. Chiropractic neurologists are trained and skilled in understanding the brain’s neuroplasticity, or ability to form new connections. They can provide BBT that are essential to restoring function in the brain and reducing symptoms.
Chiropractic neurologists offer concussion patients a variety of Brain Based Therapies in rehabilitation plans that may include exercise, physical rehab, nutritional therapy and much more. Because therapies are customized, they are able to help patients achieve the shortest recovery times based on their specific conditions.
It takes time to form new brain connections after a concussion, and brain function won’t be restored overnight with Brain Based Therapies. However, rehabilitation can and does occur over several therapy sessions. Long-term success depends on comprehensive, in-depth care. Compared to the ongoing suffering and life-long damage to brain functioning concussions can involve, Brain Based Therapies are a very efficient and effective option for post concussion syndrome rehabilitation and healing.
