Concussions are frustrating and scary - but there is help available.
Dealing with a concussion can be a scary and overwhelming experience, but it's important to remember that you don't have to face it alone.
When it comes to finding the right provider to help with head pain and head injury, physiotherapy is often the way to go.
Physiotherapists are trained professionals who can provide effective treatments and exercises to help you recover from a concussion and get back to feeling like yourself again. They will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific symptoms and needs, providing both physical and emotional support along the way.
So, if you or someone you know is struggling with a concussion, don't hesitate to reach out to a qualified physiotherapist. They have the expertise and compassion you need to get back on the road to recovery.
Concussions can cause a wide variety of symptoms.
It is important for the clinician to be able to effectively identify physical signs of a concussive injury to the brain and manage these symptoms quickly and effectively. Concussions can be a result of a sports injury, car accident, or other trauma to the head, and are more common then we have thought. You might experience symptoms like:
Head and neck pain, or feelings of pressure in the head and neck
Jaw joint locking, making it difficult to open or close your mouth
Sensitivity to light and noise
Headaches that may persist or cause sensitivity
Trouble falling & staying asleep, fatigue, drowsiness, and low energy
Difficulty with concentration, memory, regulating your emotions, irritability, sudden sadness/anxiety
Dizziness, lightheadedness, vertigo, nausea, and blurred vision
Difficulty concentrating or feeling like you are mentally “in a fog”
When it comes to solving something serious like concussions and head injury…
You must choose the right provider to help you heal from your concussion.
Untreated head trauma can go beyond distressing and frustrating symptoms - it can be dangerous for the concussed person. Concussions are one of the most common types of brain injury and when untreated, can lead to cognitive difficulties and other changes in brain function.
That’s why it’s important to not delay seeking treatment. Choosing the right provider can be the key to healing from your concussion and restoring your overall health.
To do that, you have to not just treat the pain but have a provider who can accurately diagnose the issue and administer specialized treatment for your concussion, so it does not cause lasting issues. That’s why you need a physiotherapist who specializes in helping to restore function and help you safely recover after a concussion!
Remember, your wellbeing is essential, and you don't have to face this alone. With the right physiotherapist on your side, you can regain control of your life.
We offer a hands-on approach to your wellness using our clinic’s 3-step recovery method

Finding the help you need for your concussion can be exhausting.
You want to find the help you need to get rid of your symptoms for good, which is difficult enough on top of the fatigue a concussion can cause.
It’s important to address the concussion from the root, so it doesn’t continue to impact your life.
That’s why our first step is to have a conversation with you and give you the time to tell your story.
We’ll listen to your pressing concerns with open ears so that we can get you the honest answers you’ve been seeking.
That way we’ll have a deep understanding of what’s going on, not just with your concussion, but with how it’s impacting your life.

We’ll use our experience and knowledge to take a deep dive together into your specific problem and find out what’s really going on.
That way we’ll discover the original cause of your pain or discomfort, and be able to find a lasting solution so you don’t have to suffer anymore.
Step 3: We create your custom solution
After we hear all about your concerns, the treatments you’ve tried, and what you want to get back to, we’ll use it to create a customized plan of care.
We’ll let you know how we can help, exactly what care will look like, and how long it will take to feel better again.
Then we’ll get rid of your pain and discomfort and work together to get you back to what matters most.
