Did you experience a serious head injury and can no longer work, attend school or comfortably finish basic daily tasks? Are headaches, fatigue, dizziness, poor concentration and short-term memory, foggy brain, light and sound sensitivity, irritability, emotionality, difficulty reading, watching television or using a computer holding you back from the life you once had?
The diverse symptoms associated with this injury are a reflection of the way the human brain moves about the skull damaging different areas during trauma. Here at Broadview we have the experience and the equipment to provide the treatment you need to begin your recovery to normal.
Three Components of Post Concussion Syndrome and Related Symptoms
It is imperative that all three components be addressed during treatment if the chance for a good outcome from care is expected. Although there may be some similarities between individuals who have sustained a concussion, no two are identical.
What is PHYSIOLOGIC
The PHYSIOLOGIC component refers to injury at the cellular (neuron) level. Symptoms generally involve fatigue and headaches with cognitive and/or physical activity, brain fog, nausea, light and sound sensitivity, dizziness and poor concentration.
What is VESTIBULO-OCULAR
The VESTIBULO-OCULAR component refers to involvement of the visual and balance system. Growing evidence in the research demonstrates the importance of evaluating concussions/mild traumatic brain injury using these biomarkers. Symptoms can include blurred or double vision, difficulty with tracking moving objects and difficulty with reading.
What is CERVICOGENIC
The CERVICOGENIC component refers to damage to structures of the neck and how they contribute to symptoms which include neck pain and headaches.
