Concussion Care in Calgary SW
More than just a bump to the head, a concussion is considered a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that may affect brain function, mood, and overall well-being. It can also influence focus, daily performance, and energy levels, making recovery a critical step in restoring quality of life.
We provide natural solutions at Precision Spinal Care to help patients manage symptoms and move toward recovery. Whether your concussion resulted from a sports injury, fall, or motor vehicle accident, Dr. Ryan and our team take a comprehensive approach designed around your unique needs.
What Is a Concussion?
A concussion occurs when the brain shifts quickly inside the skull due to a direct hit or sudden jolt. This movement can temporarily affect brain function and may lead to a range of symptoms. Some show up right away, while others may take hours or days to appear. Recognizing the signs early and seeking proper evaluation is essential for recovery.
What Are the Common Symptoms?
While no two concussions look the same, many people notice:
- Headaches or pressure in the head
- Dizziness, balance problems, or vision changes
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Nausea, fatigue, or sleep difficulties
- Difficulty concentrating or memory lapses
- Feeling foggy, slowed down, or confused
- Irritability, anxiety, or mood changes
If you suspect a concussion, seeking medical attention first is essential to rule out more serious injuries
