Concussion is a short lived traumatic brain injury, caused by a direct blow to the head or elsewhere on the body with a force transmitted to the head. It typically leads to short lived neurological impairment (including amnesia) which resolves spontaneously. The sufferer may or may not lose consciousness. Early assessment and treatment of concussion by a healthcare practitioner trained in the latest concussion research, is key to preventing or limiting development of post-concussion syndrome. We can help.
Post-Concussion Syndrome defines symptoms lasting for weeks or months after the initial injury. Symptoms can include: headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, loss of concentration and memory, ear ringing, blurred vision, noise and light sensitivity, increased susceptibility to future injury/ recurrence. We have a fully comprehensive approach to assessing and treating the often underdiagnosed and debilitating condition of Post-Concussion Syndrome and have developed our own Cairns Dizziness Clinic.
Our treatment plans for patients diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome may include, but are not limited to the following: vestibular rehabilitation, Watson headache technique, craniosacral therapy and rehabilitation / graded return to work and sport. See below for more information on these treatments. At Wellness Embodied we treat each patient as the individual they are. Treating the whole person, as well as the presenting condition.
