Concussion Care: Symptoms, Treatment, and Recovery
A concussion is a type of brain injury caused by a blow to the head, which can result in the brain moving within the skull, leading to swelling, chemical changes, and potential damage. While concussions typically heal within 1-2 weeks, complications such as dizziness, persistent headaches, nausea, ringing in the ears, neck pain, and difficulty concentrating can occur.
If you’ve experienced a concussion, swelling or bleeding around the brain can impair brain function. Symptoms may be delayed, so it’s crucial to see a doctor after a head injury. Visit our physiotherapy clinic near Hazeldean Road in Kanata for expert care and guidance. Our skilled physiotherapists in Kanata provide specialized concussion management to ensure a safe and effective recovery, helping you regain your health and well-being.

Prevention of Concussion :
Educating others about concussions: Educate coaches and parents on methods for preventing concussions.
Regular training: Exercise regularly to strengthen leg muscles and improve balance to reduce the risk of injury from strong impacts.
Using protective gear in sports: Wear head protection when snowboarding, cycling, motorcycling, playing contact sports, or participating in any recreational activity that could cause a head injury.
Supervising your children: Reduce the risk of head injuries in children by blocking stairways and installing window guards.
Buckling up: Wearing a seat belt can prevent serious injuries, including head injuries, in traffic accidents.
Ensuring home safety: Home accidents are a leading cause of head injuries.
